Mickey is Ready for Takeoff
I’ve been loving Hallmark’s unofficial series featuring Mickey riding various Disney Parks attractions. We headed to space for 2024’s addition to the series, Clear for Launch.
This year, Mickey’s in a rocket ready to ride Space Mountain. He’s sitting in a representation of the classic rocket roller coaster vehicle. Since Mickey is taking up the entire thing himself, it’s not completely accurate, but it’s real enough that DisNerds will immediately know what it is. Of course, it does help that Mickey is extra ready for the ride. You see, he’s wearing a space suit and a helmet.
I’ve loved that, for all these ornaments, he’s wearing a costume appropriate for the ride if not the costume the cast members wear for that ride. It’s a fun touch.
And, another fun touch, is the 24 on the front of the rocket to tie in to the ornament’s original release year.
The only thing I don’t really like about the ornament is the size. It’s the slightly larger size that Hallmark is using for some of their ornaments these days. To me, it just feels a little too big. But the others in this series have been the same, so it’s not a surprise. Still, I wish they’d shrink it just a little bit.
The rocket presents a nice base for this ornament, so you can certainly put it out to enjoy all year long if you want.
When you go to hang the ornament, you’ll notice it tips forward a little bit. While that’s not ideal, it’s not the end of the world. It just looks like the ornament is flying down like it does on the roller coaster track. And a few tree branches will help disguise it if you don’t want to see that.
My complaints with this ornament are minor. Overall, DisNerds will be happy to have Clear for Launch in their collection.
