Am I just really outta the loop or did eveyone else know about the 75 Mickeys

[pintrader]

is this news to others? Tomorrow, Mickey's 75th anniversary celebration there are going to be 75 statues of Mickey like over 5 feet tall in front of MK all designed by famous people. I saw one from by Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) and her's is Lady and Tramp/spaghetti themed. Regis and Kathie's is Statue of Liberty themed. Jamie Lee Curtis is computer keyboard, mouse and CD ROM themed. Tom Hanks had one. Some famous people I didn't recognize their names. :ashamed:

We weren't allowed to take pics today but they said tomorrow we could. I can't wait

I read that on one of the Orlando news sites....here's the link http://www.local6.com/news/2643696/detail.html Eisner is going to be there to kick off the celebration.

Are they near the lake, in front of the turnstyles before you go in or actually inside the park? Seems like 75 statues would get a bit congested with security check points, etc.

Great link. The article states t "The statues will be on display until April, then tour the United States and be auctioned off for charity. "

anyone have word on the tour route?

Thanks
Sandy

0k while I work on it go to this link:http://www.kathrynbell.com/75_mickeys/
some of the images show hidden Mickeys. I was told there is a Hidden Mickey on each and every Mickey Statue. I found it on a few of them. The ones where I have a "back" of a statue is for seeing the HM I discovered.
Can anyone see any of these?

I just read about these yesterday in the new winter Disney Magazine. I hadn't heard anything about it before and that's a wonder since on the DIS we seem to get all the info before hand!
