Title: Mickey Waves Good Bye
Post by: nathan.jackson on July 14, 2008, 10:26:39 AM
There was a video put up on DLRPMagic.com recently with him waving goodbye to everyone when the park was closing. Does this happen everyday or was this just a one off!

If it is everyday, I have completely missed it the last billion times I have been!  :oops:

You know, I've never seen it neither!! I didn't even know they did it until I saw it in a video a few weeks ago...

I really have no idea how I've been doing all these years to miss it everytime!

During our 5 days stay in february he waved every single evening. But during our stay in May he only waved goodbye on two (maybe three, not sure) of the six days.

So exactly when does he wave goodbye?

For example, when I go in August, will he be there after the fireworks?

Its like a little balcony on the train station, as you walk back up mainstreet, its just after the little band podium.

Sorry thats a terrible description!

We visit same week every year (week starting about 8th December) and we have only seen him wave once and that was three years ago.

Thought it was fantastic every night he would say, 'Thanks for visiting, hope to see you real soon' and we would all shout back, 'yes see you tomorrow Mickey'  :D

Until ..........................


,,,,,,,,,,the last night, when we couldn't say 'see you tomorrow' and the tears flowed :(

Would love to see him return.

He doesn't appear straight after closing. I spotted him twice in Febuary and he usually comes out 10-15 minutes after park closing.

It's not everyday and not at all during Summer when the fireworks close the day. You'll spot him mostly in "mid season", such as April or May, it's just a nice little extra for those months.

He'll be back during the Halloween Season!  :)

I'll search around and see if I can find mine.

I only had two days in the park in January but he was there both evenings, just at the entrance to the Main Street station about 10 minutes after the Candleabration ceremony finished at 6pm.

//Edit

Here's a video clip

Sorry about the quality; it was recorded on my phone since my camera doesn't allow me to record sound with the video.

It isn't me talking in the background btw :P

Great video BlackWolf!
I think I might just have to go twice one year; once in the summer season and once in another season so I can see him!  :mrgreen:
