News Talking Mickey to leave Magic Kingdom

[Rteetz]

I heard that it was hurting performers backs and necks from all the extra weight of the talking head. Not sure if it is true or not.

There is some truth to that yes.

While I think this is a super fun experience for kids, I must admit I was always disappointed with the way pictures turned out with this Mickey. I'm not sure if it's because I got used to "surprised face" Mickey or what but when he closed his mouth for pictures, it just looked bad/weird. I'll be interested to see where TDO takes this... if anywhere.

¡Nos encanta ver a Mickey cuando vamos! ¡¡Y el hecho de que él interactuara con usted lo hizo "el mejor"! ¡Esto me molesta tanto ... es un paso atrás!:enojado:

Now that could be true.

I don't know if I'm going to believe that rumor just yet, but if it is true and even though I'm more a Disneyland than Disney World, I'm sorry to hear that. But at least you guys still have the articulated characters for castle stageshows and Timon for FOTLK.

Which I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Haaaa..... well it is really going to confuse my kids since they been talking to him for 3 or 4 times a year for 4 years and now. I will have
to make up some story the same way I do when I forget to move the elf... anyone have any suggestions? Tonsils removed?

You could fill a warehouse with things that confuse guests, weak reason. I don't buy that...cost-cutting I believe.

It isn't a rumor, it is a done deal.

Aww man, I bet DisneyParks will soon make a post about the last day to meet Talking Mickey and reveal the date.

I doubt that. Disney usually doesn't promote their cost cutting measures.

All right. At least this is not like micechat.

He just lost his voice by an evil curse by Maleficent.

Uh, don't we already have a voice-stealing witch-like octopus in one of the movies...?

Whoops sorry Ursula

Ursula: Mickey Mouse is mine!!!

 

[Coaster Lover]

Maybe they're redesigning talking Mickey to look (and sound) like this Mickey:



T'would both be entertaining and terrifying at the same time...

Say they replaced him with a imposter mouse simple

So sad and disappointing.

This is another step in the trend we’ve all been seeing... Prices go up and magical “wow” experiences cut short.

I’m sure talking Mickey will return to M&G but only at premium-ticket events.
