Mickey and Minnie Pack up and Head to Alabama, Leaving Florida Behind
In a surprising turn of events, Mickey and Minnie Mouse made their way from the famed Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to Alabama, joining in the festivities for the highly anticipated college football game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs. This thrilling September 28 matchup, which saw the Crimson Tide triumph over the Bulldogs with a score of 41 to 31, became even more magical with the beloved Disney characters in attendance.

Mickey and Minnie weren’t the only famous faces at the September 28 matchup. Several notable University of Alabama alums and former United States President Donald Trump were in attendance.
Walt Disney World Resort Maintains Magic
On the same day as the game, countless visitors flocked to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, unaware of the excitement transpiring in Alabama. Thanks to a little bit of magic and hundreds of talented character performers, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse still greeted thousands of guests at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
