In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the “Mickey Mouse Disco” album (recently re-released on picture disc) D23 hosted the totally tubular Mickey Mouse’s Disco Party at the Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale. The evening featured a host of surprises including Mickey and Minnie Mouse who shook a tail feather with a fun choreographed routine…. on skates! Meanwhile, roller rink favorite tunes were played all night and roller rink favorite bites and sips were served.
We were so glad to be invited to cover! Here’s a look at the events goings on. ENJOY!
Special Appearances
Mickey and Minnie were the special guests of the evening and they were dressed in their 1970s best to take pictures and greet fans. Their fun and funky duds were comfy enough for them to let loose on the dance floor!
Her Universe’s Ashley Eckstein was also at the party along with voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan! Both mixed and mingled during the party greeting fans and posting for photos. This image is © Disney. All rights reserved.
Disco Extravaganza
You can’t get these two mice near a dance floor and not expect them to boogie on down!
Open Skate
Throughout the evening, the roller rink was open for everyone with songs from “Mickey Mouse Disco” as well as the best disco favorites. You might think you don’t like disco music until you realize just how many of the indelible songs you’ll catch yourself singing along to!
The Goodies
Roller rink favorites including pizza, corn dog nuggets, and tater tots were available for the noshing plus a hosted bar that offered wine, beer and the disco daiquiris!
At the end of the night, we were all given our own copy of the re-issue vinyl of Mickey Mouse Disco. During the party, guests were also allowed to supplement their disco outfits with either a rainbow bow tie or sparkly silver pair of ears!
More Disco Dancing
If you’re bummed you missed out on the chance to catch boogie fever with Mickey and Minnie, you’ll have another chance to do so next month at San Diego Comic-Con!
