1. Mickey
   Mickey never was one to settle down, which explains his eight marriages. In 1942, he married Hollywood star Ava Gardner, but they soon divorced. After entering the service for 21 months in 1944 to entertain the troops in WWII, he married Betty Jane Rase. This marriage was followed by similar experiences with Martha Vickers in 1949 and Elaine Mahnken in 1952. In 1958 Rooney married Barbara Ann Thompson, but tragedy struck when she was murdered in 1966. Stumbling into deep depression, he married Barbara's friend, Marge Lane, who helped him take care of his young children.
2. Mickey Mouse -- Mickey Mouse Club
   The Mickey Mouse Club was Walt Disney's second venture into producing a television series, the first being the Disney anthology television series, initially titled Disneyland. Disney used both shows to help finance and promote the building of the Disneyland theme park. Being busy with these projects and others, Disney turned The Mickey Mouse Club over to Bill Walsh to create and develop the format, initially aided by Hal Adelquist.[1]
3. Toontown -- Mickey Mouse
   Mickey's Toontown is one of the "themed lands" at the Disneyland park run by The Walt Disney Company. At Tokyo Disneyland, this area is named Toontown. A similar area at the Magic Kingdom is named Mickey's Toontown Fair.
4. Disney Characters -- Mickey Mouse
   Shortly after the success of the animated cartoons, Walt Disney began producing comics with his characters. Since the 1930s, countless pages of Disney comics have been produced and reproduced worldwide. The production includes not only stories with the most popular characters - Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck - but ... movie adaptations, stories with secondary characters, as well as realistic works like 'Zorro' and 'Spin & Marty'. The Disney comics production is among the biggest in the world, and a lot of international artists had their turn making Disney characters. In addition to reprinting American material, some countries began producing material of their own, including Italy, Brazil, France, Denmark and Holland. Below is an overview of the countries that have produced Disney comics, as well as a list of Disney artists that are in the Comiclopedia.
5. Disney Channel -- Mickey Mouse
   From 2002 - present, Disney Channel used Mickey Mouse's face again, this time with the "Disney Channel" logo. From 2002 - 2007, the face bounced from corner to corner of the screen. They show which 2 shows are next. At the beginning of each movie's, or each episode's, part, the face bounced to the screen and show what show they are watching.
6. Toontown -- Mickey's Toontown Fair
   The pint-sized thrill ride in Mickey's Toontown Fair is this roller coaster found at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. The premise behind this is that guests fly in Goofy's out of control airplane as it swoops, twists and turns and eventually ends up going through the barn much to the surprise of the Audio-animatronic chickens inside. The ride itself is fast but fairly tame, and short, less than a minute in length. It's a great ride for the young and the young at heart, although the cars are small and are not designed to hold larger adults.
7. Walt Disney -- Mickey Mouse
   Walt Disney World is bigger than life, a place where statistics reach epic proportions. In the food and beverage area, these figures paint a telling picture of visitors� eating patterns. Consider: 1.6 million pounds of turkey drumsticks and more than 2.6 million chocolate-covered Mickey Mouse ice cream bars are devoured annually.
8. Mickey Mouse -- Walt Disney
   Mickey Mouse is a fictional mouse character and the mascot and icon for the Walt Disney Company. He was created in 1928 by Walt Disney and voiced by Walt Disney. The anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. He is the first cartoon character to ever have a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
9. Amusement Parks
   Among the Hong Kong Amusement Parks, the known names that strike your mind would be Ngong Ping 360. The place is identified as a tourism project in Lantua Island, which is constituted of Ngong Ping Skyrail cable car system and Ngong Ping Village. Shop and dine here to the heart's content while approaching main areas of interest like Walking with Buddha, the Monkey's Tale Theatre and the Ngong Ping Tea House.
10. Theme Parks -- Animal Kingdom
    Lehnhardt noted that breeding African elephants is a challenging process, so it is especially exciting that this is the second African elephant to be born at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. A male calf, Tufani, was born in May 2003 and has gained nearly 600 pounds in its first year of growth. Lehnhardt said that because many of the elephants giving birth in zoos and wildlife parks are first-time mothers -- just as several of the elephant cows at Disney's Animal Kingdom are -- it is not unusual for the animals (both in the wild and in wildlife parks) to lose their first calf, either through a still birth or following the birth. He is optimistic that observation and interaction with Tufani has helped the other elephants gain additional maternal knowledge... improving the success rate for the Animal Kingdom breeding program. Two other elephants at Disney's Animal Kingdom are pregnant and due in 2005; one is expected next spring and the other in late winter.
