Lights on Mickey Time Traveler DO WORK

[Cheshire Figment]

We had tried unsuccessfully to get the lights on the "Mickey Time Traveler" sculpture, which we had bought at the "Journey Through Time" pin event in September, to work. We even tried new batteries. We know someone else who also tried to no avail.

Then I looked at the picture in the catalog, hoping for a hint. I noticed the picture showed the alligator clip as if it were an extension to Mickey's finger rather than just being clamped to one of the other wires.

I the looked from the bottom and saw there was a bare metal area on the underside of Mickey's finger. I the clipped the alligator clip to the finger, making sure the clip was in contact with the bare metal spot and the lights all work.

If you have tried unsuccessfully to get the lights to work, try this. Of course, they could have put some instructions in the box, but that would have taken the fun out of it.

I got my lights to work....thanks to your tip about the finger. Can someone send me a pic of what I think I have. Are we on the same page of " The Time Traveler?".. A close up would be great. Thank you, Bob

Hello, we recently purchased Mickey Time Traveler at a garage sale. We would be interested in any information about the piece. We are amateur collectors and would like to know if there is any interesting history or story to our new Mickey.

Thanks...Ted

You should be able to get a copy of the page from the event catalog by calling Disney World Special Events at 407-827-7600. It was the pin event at Epcot in early September 2003.
