Disney Once Again Testing 'Talking Mickey' At Magic Kingdom Park

Mickey Mouse is becoming more articulate everyday... Well the Disney Parks's character anyway. For about a year now, Disney Imagineering has been testing a system that allows Mickey Mouse to blink his eyes, and talk to park guests. The system is an amazing breakthrough in Disney magic that will allow park characters to interact with park guests like never before.

Last night, the good folks at Disney were testing the system once again, backstage at the Town Square Theater inside the Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World. All reports indicate the test was a remarkable success, and the Disney Parks Blog has even put together this short video to give you an idea of how amazingly magical the 'new' Mickey Mouse is.



Of course, this isn't the first time we have seen this system in action. Back in August, we had a chance to see talking, blinking Mickey interact with Expo guests, and the effect is just plain MIND BLOWING! Check out the video below of the Disney Park's 'Carousel Of Projects' from the D23 Expo. The footage of talking, blinking Mickey begins at 6:00 minutes. Here's to hoping we see this system inside the parks on a regular basis very soon.
