Although clearly visible in the concept art released for the Fab 50 Character Sculptures coming to Walt Disney World for the 50th Anniversary, Disney formally “revealed” Mickey Mouse as the first of 50 characters. Here’s the announcement:

Now, we have more details on the “Disney Fab 50” series, including a special reveal of the first sculpture – Mickey Mouse!

During the magical celebration, which begins on Oct. 1, you’ll be able to find these golden character sculptures throughout all four of the Resort’s parks.  And leading up to their appearances, friends from around the Disney company will be announcing which characters you can expect to see – starting today with Bret Iwan, the voice of Mickey Mouse.

The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse sculptures are also being dedicated to Disney cast members of the past, present and future. After all, our cast – along with Mickey and Minnie- are truly considered the heart of the upcoming anniversary celebration. 

Mickey is the first, and other character sculptures will be announced in the upcoming weeks by Disney friends, including Walt Disney World, Disney+, Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, D23, Disney Channel, NatGeoTV, Disney Vacation Club and more.
