2. Mickey Mouse

Your 3 sentence biography: I was created by Walt Disney. He was going to name me Mortimer, but fortunately, his nice wife suggested otherwise.

First time or Zillionith trip to WDW? Too many to count. I technically live in Mouseton, but I make it out to WDW pretty much every day. I am magical like that.

Brief background about your upcoming trip (include dates):I will be there every day with a permanent smile welcoming you to the Disney Parks. Please don't pull my tail!

Why did you choose December? I am there everyday so it's not a matter of choice! I can assure you that WDW is a most perfect place to be in December! You can even come to my special merry, Christmas party!

What are you most looking forward to? Meeting all of you.

My most cherished upcoming ADR: I'm impartial to Chef Mickey's, dont'cha know?!

Favorite Disney snack (or for those who haven't been, what you most look forward to snacking on): I like partaking in the Grand Marnier slushies. It just feels weird eating anything shaped to look like me.

My Disney touring style - Commando or Turtle? I am kind of a celeb at the Parks, so I never have to worry about touring and what have you.

My upcoming trip is: planned down to the second or going with the flow - My handlers plan my day so I just go with the flow.

How you might be able to find me while at Disney: (i.e. Resting in a hammock at CSR, tipsy at WS in EPCOT, 'that couple' in matching outfits, inquiring about the time of the 3 o'clock parade) Hmm, at certain dining establishments, in parades and shows, at various meet and greets. I am a busy mouse.

The Disney character that is most like me and why: How dare you refer to us as CHARACTERS!!

Here I am on opening day!
