Allwine Voice of Mickey Mouse Passes away
Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse for 32 years, passed
away last week. Wayne was only the third person to provide the
voice for the world's most famous mouse, following Walt Disney
himself and then Jimmy MacDonald. Allwine is survived by his
wife, Russi Taylor, and five children from a previous marriage.

guess.
Why
doesn't WDW sell alcohol in the Magic Kingdom
Dagobert is curious as to why there's no booze for
youse at the Magic Kingdom. Other Disney Parks offer some alcoholic
libation, but none of the MKs. Anyone disagree with this policy?
Or too tipsy to reply?

to a storied attraction ~ PEZZ
