M-I-C...

Mickey is here in Washington -- at the Ronald Reagan building, no less. In celebration of Mickey Mouse's 75th anniversary, Disney created 75 uniquely designed, 6-foot, 500-pound statues. The statues have toured the country, but all 75 have only appeared in a few places -- Disney World, Disneyland, and here in Washington, D.C. They have had different celeberties design the mice, so they are pretty fun. And it will be interesting to see all 75 of them in one place. I'll post photos, of course. I thought these ones were fun.
