How Many Mickeys?

I read on an earlier post that some woman missed seeing Mickey on her last trip, then asked where you can see him. While I was there in May, my nephew looked at his little brother's autograph book and was impressed that he had Mickey's autograph. He said it was supposed to be hard to get.

There's a Mickey at all four parks. They have several character meals with Mickey. There must be about twenty Mickeys. Any castmembers out there know how many "Mickey's helpers" there are?


Mickey, Mickey, everywhere
He's over here, he's over there
If you miss him, don't despair
There's Mickeys, Mickeys everywhere

I worked in Costuming at DL for many years... the best way to answer this, is Mickey had 45 "tradtional" suits (red pants with a black jacket) utilized at DL. He has 72 other costumes he wears for special occasions. (Pirate outfit, Space Suit, UncleSam etc...)

Generally these outfits were for use in park, and special appearances, tours, etc (west of the Mississippi, WDW handled the ones East)

It's safe to say WDW has at least twice as many traditional suits considering how often he appears at the parks.

Yikes!!! I can't imagine how all those outfits fit into that little closet in his house! (Must use the same type of technology that Mary Poppins uses)

Wow! A lot more than I thought. Fantasmic alone has to have about three "costume changes". One as the sorceror's apprentice, one in his tux, then he drives the boat at the end.

How about at the very end? Mickey POOFs off the top of the mountian and apears at the bottom wearing a tuxedo for a few seconds before dissapearing again ending with the vertical spotlights empty. I belive this brings the F! costume count up to 6.

no.. it's still 5. It's Sequin Standard still, which is what he wears in the beginning of the show
