Mickey pylon, Transmission tower in Celebration, US.

The Mickey pylon is a 32-meter-tall double-deadend pole-type 230-kV transmission tower in Celebration, Florida, built as a stylized Mickey Mouse head. A 21-meter steel pole carries a circular steel tube ring 9.1 meters in diameter, with two smaller elliptical rings (axes 5.5 and 6.1 meters) forming the ears. The rings are made of 12-by-20-inch galvanized steel tubing and weigh 14,000 kg. At night, fiber-optic cables in the rings are fed by a ground-level laser through fiber running inside the pole.

North American Pole Corporation from Dallas manufactured the main support pole while Bend-Tec from Duluth produced the steel rings, completed in February 1996. This collaboration between two manufacturers created a tower that merged transmission infrastructure with distinctive visual design for the town.

The pylon's shape reproduces Mickey Mouse's head: a 9.1 m ring with two elliptical rings of 5.5 m and 6.1 m as ears. It stands beside the southern access road to Walt Disney World Resort, in front of Osceola Substation, and is lit at night, so drivers on Interstate 4 see the character outlined in light.

The pylon stands on the north side of Interstate 4 at Exit 62, where World Drive meets the Central Florida GreeneWay, in front of Osceola Substation. It is seen in passing from the highway; there is no pedestrian access or stopping point at the structure itself. The rings are lit at night by fiber-optic cables fed from a ground-level laser.

This tower uses polymer insulators that reduce visual interference from power lines while maintaining full transmission capability. This engineering choice allowed the Mickey Mouse shape to remain clean and clearly visible without compromising the tower's electrical efficiency.
