This was a very nice friendly mouse. There was a long line of folks with kids just waiting to get their "professional" photo with Mickey. I stood off to the side behind the photographer. In between kids, I kept trying to get a good shot. Mickey finally noticed me and gave me a quick "Hey there!" pose, before the next sticky little hands could grab him for a hug!
As a kid I much preferred Mighty Mouse and Donald Duck to Mickey Mouse but he is undoubtedly the most famous of them all, thereby a much better fit to the theme.
