The announcement video features Mickey and his friends dressing up like Marvel superheroes. We’ve seen some of these outfits before at Disneyland Resort. Mickey is dressed as Captain America, Minnie is dressed as Spider-Gwen, Daisy is dressed as Black Widow, Chip and Dale are dressed as Thor and Loki, Donald is dressed as the Hulk, Goofy is dressed as Iron Man, and Pluto wears an Avengers bandanna. They will be appearing in Tomorrowland to “show off their heroic dance moves.”

There will also be Marvel-themed merchandise, food and beverage, décor, and more during the celebration.

Due to Disney’s contract with Universal regarding Marvel characters, and Walt Disney World’s proximity to Universal Orlando Resort, the Florida resort can’t use certain Marvel characters and properties. The Guardians of the Galaxy are free game, though, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened at EPCOT last year. Guardians of the Galaxy characters have also sometimes had meet and greets and shows at Walt Disney World.
