Disney fans will be flocking to Queensland to see a six-metre-tall inflatable Mickey Mouse as he heads on a statewide tour.
Nine destinations will receive a magical visit this October and November as the loveable mouse takes his road trip.
The larger-than-life inflatable will travel from Brisbane to Mackay in anticipation for Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic opening on December 4.
The Mickey Mouse inflatable will be a limited-time attraction – with only one day in most locations.
Locals are invited to visit the pop up in their city, with opportunities to win exhibition passes and a trip to Mackay, snap a photo with the inflatable and join the countdown to the exhibition’s opening at the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre.
Greg Williamson, Mackay Regional Council Mayor, said the tour was about much more than promoting an exhibition, it highlighted Queensland’s regional destinations and shone a spotlight on Mackay’s role as host in bringing the global phenomenon to Australian shores.
“Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic presents a tremendous opportunity to showcase not only Mackay, but Queensland’s regional destinations to visitors from across Australia,” Mayor Williamson said.
“The exhibition is expected to attract visitors from near and far, generating valuable economic benefits for local businesses and reinforcing Mackay’s growing reputation as a destination capable of hosting major cultural events.
“This tour brings a touch of Disney magic to communities along the way while highlighting the important role regional Queensland plays in delivering world-class experiences.”
The travelling Mickey Mouse inflatable will visit Brisbane, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Whitsundays, Moranbah, Clermont and Nebo before arriving in Mackay’s Caneland Central.
Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic was created by the Walt Disney Archives, in collaboration with Semmel Exhibitions, and is an immersive experience celebrating over 100 years of Disney storytelling, innovation and magic.
The world-class experience features expansive gallery builds and large-scale displays of more than 120 objects brought together to tell over a century of Disney history.
Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic will take place at the Mackay Entertainment & Convention Centre (MECC) from December 4 to May 4, 2027.
