That's true. I watched Dateline Disneyland on the Disneyland USA dvd, and the broadcast said that.

They were pretty hideous actually. Mickey looked like a big skinny poiny nosed rat, the kind you'd want to chase with a broom and stomp on. The costume was a very ugly micky head, big gloves and shoes, and big red shorts over a skin-tight black body suit. I couldn't help wondering why Mickey had breasts!
