It’s available for purchase at Walt Disney World Resort, and we first spotted it in the Art of Disney store at the American Adventure in EPCOT.

One figure was on display so we could take a closer look. It has a shiny, sparkling platinum finish that turns into rainbows under the light.

The plaque on the base features the quote displayed at the Magic Kingdom version of the statue:

We Believe in our ideas: a family park where parents and children could have fun – together.
Walt Disney

The figure erroneously capitalizes “believe” and adds an extra “s” to “idea.”

The original Partners was created by Blaine Gibson and unveiled at Disneyland on Mickey’s birthday, November 18, 1993.

Gibson said of the Partners statue, “I chose to depict Walt as he was in 1954. I think that was when [he] was in his prime. It was tough trying to match the media image of Walt Disney, the one the public knows, to the real Walt, the one we knew. I think Walt is admiring the park and saying to Mickey, ‘Look what we’ve accomplished together,’ because truly they were very much a team through it all. ‘Look at all the happy people who have come to visit us today.’”

Gibson also sculpted Sharing the Magic. This statue of Roy O. Disney and Minnie Mouse on a bench was installed at Magic Kingdom in 1999. It can be found in Town Square, though sometimes moves around for different holiday decorations.

The Storytellers statue, designed by Rick Terry and Ray Spencer, was installed in Disney California Adventure in 2012. Storytellers depicts a younger Walt as he would have looked when arriving in Los Angeles in 1923, and an earlier design of Mickey. Versions were added to Tokyo DisneySea (2013) and Shanghai Disneyland (2016).
