This... is fricking amazing! How does it work????

They have 'em at WdW in the Castle show. Its pretty damn cool...

That is just amazing. And it's so well done. He blinks, too. Now he doesn't have to stomp his foot or clap his gloved hands to get the kids' attention...

Super-Cool! Now I'm looking forward to a Snow White who blinks.

Is the person inside actually "doing" the voice you think?

I wondered that too. If not, how do they synch the voice to the actions or the costumed CM?

I would assume Disney would want to keep the voice authentic, so unless they have a Mickey Voice Modulator, the voice actor must be somewhere else.

Wow, that is really awesome. Make me want to go visit DL right now to meet Mickey!

It's always good to keep your eyes open when you've got seven guys at crotch level...

What do you mean "person inside"? That's the real Mickey the Mouse.



:D

Duh.

*Sigh*
I miss mousepod and Mrs. mousepod... and the mousepod pooch party.
*Sigh*
