Did you know Walt Disney originally was going to call Disneyland "Mickey Mouse Park"? things would be so different!

 

[disneyanney]

Did you know, Mickey was a replacement for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? Disney made an agreement with Universal basically saying that if Mickey Mouse was successful, Universal could have Oswald.

Actually, I believe Mickey was created after Walt lost Oswald. Walt Disney signed a contract with Universal, unknowing that they owned the character.
"Then Mintz dropped the bombshell. He declared that he owned all rights to Oswald and warned: 'Either you come with me at my price, or I'll take your organization from you. I have your key men signed up'
Walt was desolate. Not only had he lost his star performer, Oswald."
Then:
"How Mickey mouse was born we may never know. Walt told the story embellished over the years, that on the train ride back to California he had concocted a new character, based on a friendly mouse who had visited his drawing board in Kansas City."

I read this in the book "Disney's Art of Animation.
From Mickey Mouse to Beauty and the Beast."
But yeah, it's still pretty cool how he created him. If there was no Universal, there would be no Mickey.

Did you know Hidden Mickeys were created by CMs when Epcot was in construction? They weren't wanted to put classic Disney characters like the Fab Five featured in any other park but Magic Kingdom, so the CMs added Hidden Mickeys to satisfy themselves and have a game to play

In each park, there is something(s) with a specific number on it. (Ex. The road sign in Dinoland USA, I think, that has 4,22,95) This number is the day that park, or, if there's more than one, attraction, was opened.
