75th Anniversary Mickey's

[agotta]

Dh and I went to see the Mickey's (again) in Washington this weekend. Dh grabbed some great pictures of each of them. He has posted them on our website and each is captioned with the title and who did them. There are actually 77 Mickeys.

I went Sunday 10 May, I only counted 73 or so. I think I must have missed some. I took pictures of all I found. Did they hide some on me? I'll be checking your photos out to find out!

When we finished, he counted 76 (2 inside by the food court). Then of course there was Janet Jackson's that was taken off display, but DH put it up anyway.

I missed the two in the food court, I'm sure I am still missing a couple of others. Wait, I have photos of 72, so I am missing 5, boo hoo!

Feel free to "steal" them off our website! (repeat sorry!)

Feel free to "steal" them off our website! There was one unofficial Mickey there that you missed, then the 2 inside, that would make 75. So you missed one regular Mickey too.

The Andre Agassi one was not there when we went. From your photos I can kinda work out where it should have been but I a 95% certain it wasn't. I am a huge tennis fan, so I would be amazed if I had missed that one! The ESPN 25th anniversary one wasn't there either (again 95% certain) At least I know which ones I a missing now, it was driving me crazy!

Those are cool Mickeys! I really enjoyed seeing the pics of them.

Sounds like we could have been standing next to you. We were there Saturday and had a great time! (noon - 3pm)

Agotta-
I was looking at your pictures and noticed the word Rochester. It peeked my curiousity so I had to investigate further (lol) and realized, yep, indeed it was Rochester, NY. I live in Webster, NY (a suburb of Rochester). Too funny!

 

[ILoveDisney-Angie]

I noticed that you HM was at the Boardwalk. So was ours...last year.

 

[agotta]

ILoveDisney - Yup, born and raised in Rochester (Henrietta). I just moved to VA last Feb. We did Honeymoon at the Boardwalk, I love it there! When were you there? (sorry just noticed you were there in July, we were there at the end of Jan)

InstImpres - We were there on Sunday, very early like 10 a.m.

Cool, we are plannning on seeing them this upcoming weekend. Did u take the metro to get there, or is it easier to just drive and park in a parking garage? -Stephanie

 

[agotta]

We had thought driving in would be easier, since we were there early. We happened to get a great spot right in front of the Natural Science museum (and $20, long story). We were lucky though. If you haven't driven in D.C. take the metro ($6 per person for unlimited rides that day). There was a parking garage right around the corner though that was $8 for weekend parking. You can't park right in front of the Mickeys though.

We went the weekend of the Cherry Blossom festival, and were very glad to have taken the metro! Traffic was really bad, I did see parking spots about, but it would have taken you an hour to fight through the traffic to get to them!! If it's a nice sunny day, generally the free parking situation is not great. It's kind of a peak tourist time in town at the moment too. There are plenty of parking garages, which are a little pricey but usually never full at the weekend. I think the Ronald Reagan building (where the Mickeys are) has parking, I think it's public, but I am not 100% sure. We used to always drive in when our DS was an infant, but he loves to ride the metro, so he gives us no choice!! The Federal Triangle is the closest Metro stop to the Mickey's, or it's a couple of blocks walk down 13th from Metro Center.

Just checked on the website for Ronald Reagan building(I am such a helpful bunny!) Daily parking (2,000 spaces) is available in the underground parking garage. Access is available via 13½ Street (off Pennsylvania Avenue) and via two entrances on 14th Street from 5:00 am until 2:00 am. The charge at weekends is $8.
