Mickey already turned 90, but Disney Parks is celebrating all year long and as part of Mickey and Minnie’s Suprise Celebration Disney has brought the Mickey Mouse Sipper to Magic Kingdom.
Back in November the introduced it at Disneyland Resort and now your old pal has arrived at Disney World in Sipper Cup form.
It was only available for a limited time and was a quick sell out. It looks awesome with Magic Kingdom backgrounds as you can see in the post below:
The Mickey Mouse Sipper served with choice of fountain drink or specialty beverage is available at Casey’s Corner on Main Street and Cosmic Ray’s in Tommorowland. It will only set you back about $13.99 and if you want one without a beverage it’s only $9.99.
The most iconic character of all time deserves as many celebrations as possible for this momentous occasion so check out everything still going on at the parks this year honoring the main mouse!
Startrting today you can now join these “beast friends forever” for photos, hugs and a laugh or two as the Mike and Sulley meet and greet returns to Hollywood Studios.
The pair have had a home at Hollywood Studios before, but they have been from the park since the closure of the Streets of America. But what’s import here is that they are back!
Get ready for a warm and wild welcome as you step inside the world of Monsters, Inc. to meet, greet and pal around with Mike Wazowski and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan.
For a monster, Mike’s a loyal and devoted friend—but keep an eye out for his wise-cracking, playful side. And don’t let Sulley’s horns, claws and humongous size fool you—he’s got a soft spot for humans.

Today, Walt Disney World welcomed the newest member of the Animal Kingdom Family! A newborn Masai giraffe calf arrived today around 2 p.m. on the Kilimanjaro Safari Savanna.
Mom, Mara, gave birth to the newest member to the park who stands at about 6 feet tall.
It will nurse for about a year, and then, as a herbivore, it will move to the lush vegetation available throughout the savanna. When full grown, it will use it’s 18-inch tongue to strip leaves off thorny branches from the tops and sides of trees to consume up to 75 pounds of food a day. That’s a tall order!
The Masai giraffe is a vulnerable species found primarily in Kenya and Tanzania. There are believed to be roughly 32,000 Masai giraffes left in the wild, and their population continues to decline because of poaching and habitat loss.
The calf’s gender has not been determined yet, but the mother and offspring are already within view of Animal Kingdom guests.
Two giraffe calves were born at Disney World last year. Lilly gave birth to Aella in July, and Amira was born to mom Kenya in October

As we previously reported, a clouser for Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom at Disney World has been imminent and it seems the plans are right on track.
The attraction has officially closed on Jan. 2nd for refurbishment to make way for Tommorowland’s new Tron Coaster.
The attraction will be closed for about four and a half months. The exact date is yet to be determined but reports suggest it should reopen on May 18, 2019.
The Tron coaster will occupy an entirely new area next to the land’s Space Mountain and the closure is necessary because parts of the giant coaster hang over Tommorowland Speedway. Parts of the track will be adjusted, but when it reopens it will be the same attraction guests know and love, according to Disney Parks.
Magic Kingdom’s Tron attraction, is set to debut in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021. It is based on TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland. This coaster-style attraction allows riders to board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles for a thrilling race through the digital frontier. TRON Lightcycle Power Run debuted on Shanghai Disneyland’s opening day and quickly became the highest-rated attraction at the park.
