Some of you may not know this but Mickey and Disneyland took to the skies with a 100-foot tall, Mickey Mouse-shaped hot air balloon dubbed “The Happiest Balloon On Earth”. The crew is traveling throughout the western United States and Canada on a 12-stop tour.

It just so happens that this morning they stopped in my old neck of the woods.

Here is a few photos of the baloon inflating in front of the Salt Lake City-County building.

And here is one of Mickey starting his tour as the first baloon through the Grand Canyon.
