The Sorcerer's Hat

A dazzling blue 122-foot-tall Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat takes center stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios representing the magic of show business and the entertainment wizardry of Disney that is captured throughout shows and attractions at the park.

This giant showpiece, made from composite fiberglass and shaped like the pointed hat worn by Mickey in the animated classic "Fantasia," weighs 156 tons. It is a brilliant blue, and decorated with moon and star shapes of glittering gold.

As designed, an equally great Mickey hand tips the hat, which rests on two shimmering ribbon loops that are stylized versions of Mickey's ears. The hat and ears sit atop a solid foundation that uses enough concrete to cover the length of a football field.

The icon stands at the end of Hollywood Boulevard directly in front of the Chinese Theater.

The Sorcerer's Hat at Disney's Hollywood Studios follows Disney's icon tradition of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth at Epcot and The Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
