Yep. I also have a T-shirt that has the peace sign, a heart, and the Detroit Red Wings' winged wheel. I'm all about the peace and love, and good things like Mickey, hockey, and chocolate. :)

I had a black regular Mickey on my car, and took that off. I didn't know what to do with it, so I stuck it on a bamboo skewer and put it in my cactus pot. Now my cactus vaguely resembles the water tower at DHS. :lol:

Yes cool idea for another use for it. I don't have an antenna so now you've given me an idea of others ways to use them. Thanks!

Very nice BIG! Love seeing Disney plates :mickey:
I saw one yesterday on the front of a car, not sure if it was a regular plate or one you can buy as it was going in the opposite direction of me. It was something like MCKYFAN ~ I meant to write it down but I forgot :oops:

Yeah...we tried about two dozen different Disney/WDW/Mickey variations and all of them were taken. I guess Alabama is full of Disney fans. Thankfully the tag we already had on the car was limited to 5 letters/numbers...which means less chance people have that kind of tag. (Note: most tags in Alabama have 7 letters/numbers.)

WDWFANS: Taken
MICKEY#: Taken
LOVEWDW: Taken

And on and on and on...all taken.

Thankfully there were two options open for us...D1SNY...and...DSNEY...and we thought the latter looked more like "DISNEY" from far away...so we went with that one.

Yeah, I like the one you chose better than D1SNY. We had to use a 1 for the "I" in Figment on my Mom's license plate. I can't remember why, but we couldn't just spell it normally. Lots of Disney fans in Michigan too, but we had no problem getting the plates we wanted. Mom even had a choice between a version of Tinkerbell or Figment which are her two favorites :D

We saw one on the toll road yesterday that said MOUSE I There was nothing else on the vehicle to indicate whether they were Disney people or not, but we took it as if they were :mickey:

We have a Mickey antenna topper, but he's missing an ear... I guess we'll just have to make a trip back down to get a new one ;)

My husband just purchased his mid-life crisis car and the old SUV, aka now the Mommy-mobile, can be Disney-ized! YAY! Going in the fall and will buy all things Disney for the Mommycar! :D
