Mickey’s birthday is coming up on November 18, and he is celebrating in style with a trip around the world! He’ll be celebrating throughout November (as will we) by popping up in iconic locations to surprise fans. Thankfully, for those of us who aren’t lucky enough to spot Mickey around the globe, there will be video chronicling Mickey’s adventure, which is sure to make us all smile. Mickey will also be releasing a music video on the big day! Plus, he’ll be personally documenting his worldwide travels. Look out for posts from the birthday boy himself on his Facebook page and Instagram. They’ll be signed “–Mickey!”
On Mickey’s birthday (11/18), select locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, as well as Disney Stores in the United States, will be distributing commemorative “Happy Birthday, Mickey!” buttons (we’re already planning our trip to get one). Disneyland will host a special pre-parade birthday celebration for Mickey, and at Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando, characters and performers will dance in a special birthday-themed edition of the Move It! Shake It! Dance & Play It! Street Party.
Also on November 18, Disney Channel will air the Emmy-winning new Mickey Mouse shorts throughout the day and premiere two new cartoon series featuring Mickey Mouse. On Mickey Meows Club, the feline hosts of a web-based talk show provide their own “cat”-mentary on Mickey’s incredible performances in their favorite shorts. Mickey’s How Not To will provide viewers with a humorous series of informative tips on how not to do things, using Mickey’s funniest fails and moments from the latest cartoons. Plus, that day Disney Junior will debut the teaser trailer for the upcoming series Mickey and the Roadster Racers.
We’re celebrating Mickey’s birthday all month, so be sure to check back for lots of new content from us, as well as from D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, Disney Style, Disney Family, and Babble. #HappyBirthdayMickey
