Mickey Mouse's 50th Anniversary



This celebrative float appeared only in the Magic Kingdom version in 1978 to celebrate Mickey's 50th Anniversary.

The float was in the shape of a circle, with Mickey Mouse's reflection on the top with the number "50" in the middle. Mickey himself stood in the middle with a birthday cake. During this season Donald Duck was on the drum instead of Mickey. This float appeared behind the drum, and it did not have it's own unique music track. Having a float celebrating Mickey's birthday would be reused again for the Mickey Mouse's 60th Anniversary float in 1988, but only in the Disneyland version. Unlike the 50th Anniversary float, the 60th Anniversary float was show before the finale and had it's own unique music track.
