1929: Disney's Mickey Mouse short The Opry House was released. It was the first time Mickey was seen wearing his trademark white gloves.
1978: Disney World was visited by 85,123 guests on this day.
1987: The very first Disney Store opened - in the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. It was Disney's first retail store outside of a theme park or resort.
2000: Disneyland officials lift the ban on park employees wearing mustaches - an edict that had been put into effect in 1957 by Walt Disney himself.
2001: The Sorcerer's Hat made its debut at Disney-MGM Studios. It is now the icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios replacing the Earful Tower. Built in front of The Great Movie Ride, the structure was inspired by the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Walt Disney's 1940 animated film Fantasia (Personal comment: I still like the Earful Tower better).

I'm with you on the Earful Tower!!! I hear rumors the hat is going away. I keep hoping they are true! LOL
