Today on “Good Morning America,” Mickey and Minnie showed off a new set of outfits for the 50th anniversary celebration at Walt Disney World. These “ear-idescent” colors, adorned with gold, are part of the 18-month long celebration at Walt Disney World.
While the celebration officially begins Oct. 1, 2021, we may see these outfits in the park sooner.
Both outfits’ colors match closely with the overall nighttime projection mapping color scheme that will happen on all four park icons. Mickey also has the “50” icon embellished on his jacket.
Minnie swapped out for a gold bow, much like how Cinderella Castle will soon be adorning even more gold embellishments.
A close-up look at the Cinderella Castle concept art showcases how even more gold will be added, along with the “50” icon that Mickey has on his jacket. Due to current social distancing procedures, it is currently unknown when guests will be able to get up-close to meet with these two in their new outfits.
What do you think of this new outfit design? Are you excited for the park’s big celebration? Let us know in the comments below.
