Based on the original structure from Sunset Boulevard, The Crossroads
of the World at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has one noticeable
difference, Mickey Mouse. While Mickey looks itty bitty from the
ground below, you can get a better sense of his size from the photograph
below taken on Dec. 21, 1988.
Mickey is 5’3” tall while the spinning globe he stands on is 6 feet
in diameter. His right ear is made out of copper in order to serve as a
lightning rod. Both Mickey and the globe were created by former Disney
master sculptor Perry Russ.
Sitting on top of the world, Mickey has been walking and waving to every guest entering the park since opening day.
