Hello cruisers.....
I posted this info on the main community boards but I thought I would post it here since it seems like a lot of cruisers are from the DC metro area and that board moves SO FAST nothing stays on the first couple of pages for 10 seconds....I hope it is okay to post the same thing twice.....
Mickey Mouse is in Washington, D.C. .and I took 125 pictures last night (okay, so I got A LITTLE carried away).
I just wanted to share this information:
Mickey Mouse and Raven will be at the Reagan Building and International Trade Center tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m. (Saturday, March 19th). All of the 75th InspEARations Mickey statues (6 feet tall and 700 pounds each) are displayed there and I think they will unveil a 76th one created by a Washington DC muralist. This is the only location outside of Disney World and Disneyland where the 75 Mickeys will be displayed together (they have traveled the country in smaller quantities). All of the Mickeys are the same basic shape and position but they have been decorated and designed by 75 different people (Annette Funicello, Elton John, Tom Hanks, Shaquille ONeal, Disney animators [like cutie Andreas Deja], etc.). Each statue benefits a charity and after they leave DC, they will go to New York City where they will be auctioned off by Sothebys for that statues particular charity.
The 3-hour celebration tomorrow is supposed to have games, prizes, music, activities, and more. The flier says see Mickey and meet Raven so I dont know if MM will be doing a meet and greet or not. The event is free.
You can see all of the Mickeys here:

By the way, the statues are here through April 30th and they are right at the top of the escalators of the Federal Triangle Metro stop so they are easy to get to if you live in the D.C. area.
Hope this helps somebody.
