Mickey Clouds Over WDW

True, there will be several that won't notice the shape of the clouds, but then again, how many people notice a lot of the little details? It's the little details that set Disney apart from the rest of the crowd.

Would these count as "hidden" mickeys?

If they don't point them out, then I would call them hidden.

Just how much could you really see of it tho with it being only 4 feet across?

At present the cost is prohibative. When there is no other way to obtain Helium for industry/science then the price will be paid. I agree nobody will be using it in Mickey balloons by then. Unless your name is Gates (or Jobbs.)

The cloud could sink. It would depend on how long the bubbles in the soap last and how coherent the soap mass would stay as the bubbles burst causing lift to weight imbalance.....erm.......ever had the thought you may just be over thinking something?........like mickey shaped clouds

nice idea, don't know if wdw really needs it though, it's pretty magical the way it is?

its a cure to global warming! i wonder still what the contents of the special soap is. i dont want to have to be exposed to something toxic or hazardous to human or animal health.

Maybe not hidden, but these would certainly fall under the classification of "Disney Fluff" in another string...

Haha. I like how this became a chemistry discussion.

I think the idea is interesting, but because of the size and speed they fly up out of sight, it seems pretty impractical.

Can't say that I am very impressed - from a distance they look like balloons rather than clouds. In my view they are too small and a little pointless.

Any visitors at WDW to give a first hand update or comment? Have they started to use these yet?

That is pretty cool, but how many people really want to look up at clouds while at WDW? There is a whole lot more to see in the parks than clouds.

How about when you are relaxing by the pool, taking 5 with a dole whip, I always look to see if I can see any character shapes in the clouds with my kids while waiting in line or on a bus while we are at WDW. We found Goofy in the clouds at Blizzard Beach
