Every year — For one day out of the year — Guests can spot Mickey Mouse in a very rare location.
In honor of World Ocean Day, the only and only Mickey Mouse can be seen in The Seas pavilion — Swimming with fish! He is dressed in his scuba gear and greeting Guests on the other side of the tank glass while splashing around and cooling off from the hot Florida sun.

It has been 3 years since our last Disney World visit and we just got to experience the most magical moment! Mickey in the tank! This happens one day a year for World Ocean Day! ?

As mentioned earlier, this is a tradition that happens every single year at EPCOT. In fact, four years ago, Reddit user jcc005 took to the platform to share a photo of Mickey in the exact same scuba gear, which you can see below.

In case you aren’t familiar, World Ocean Day is “celebrated to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean and to develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the oceans”.
So, if you are in EPCOT today, June 8, make sure to swing by The Seas pavilion and see if you can spot Scuba Mickey inside the fish tank!
