We can neither confirm nor deny that Mickey Mouse requested a spotless arrival... 😏🐭

Our friends at Whitsunday Regional Council have been hard at work preparing for Mickey's visit to Airlie Beach this weekend, and we think their Parks & Gardens crew may have taken the job description a little too seriously! 😂🌱

Catch Mickey at the Airlie Beach Foreshore this Saturday and Sunday, then follow his journey to Mackay as we count down to the opening of Disney: The Exhibition – A Century of Magic at the MECC on 4 December. ✨

🎥 Watch the video and show the Whitsunday team some love for their award-worthy performance!
