A Disney Reindeer is Apparently Flying Around the World
It’s officially the summer season, which probably makes you think of sunshine and swimsuits, not snowmen and Santa Claus, right?
Well, get ready to momentarily enter the world of gingerbread houses, Christmas trees, and colorful lights, because Disney is already talking about the holiday season! It’s time for the Halfway to the Holidays celebration.
Disney Reindeer on the Loose
Disney Parks tweeted out a message this morning that one of their reindeer is on the loose and was seen flying across the world giving out gifts! They ended the tweet with a #HalfwaytotheHolidays which is happening this week, as we’re halfway to the holiday season.

This is typically when we get major news and announcements for what upcoming celebrations will be happening for the holiday season in the Disney Parks.
About half an hour after the first tweet, Disney Parks tweeted that the “reindeer” is wearing a Gifting Presents System (GPS)…
UPDATE 🚨🦌 We’ve just got word that the reindeer is wearing their sleigh collar with a built-in Gifting Presents System (GPS). Stand by for signal… 📡

…then, they tweeted out some coordinates!
🦌 63.364786, -85.331297

The coordinates are way up in Canada on Southampton Island.
And, 30 minutes later, we got a tweet with more coordinates.
🦌 69.937141, -116.185278

This time, it was for Victoria Island in Canada
Fast forward another half hour, and we got coordinates to Prince Patrick Island in Canada.
🦌 77.497501, -116.661372

Next, we saw a point in the Arctic Ocean…
…then it was a point in the Lincoln Sea. The reindeer is very high up on the globe now!
The next coordinates were for a spot near the top of Greenland.
After that, we got a place in the Greenland Sea.
There have been new coordinates tweeted out about every 20-30 minutes, and this is what the map looks like at the time of writing. My theory right now is that they’re drawing a Mickey head! Could this potentially be the world’s largest hidden Mickey?
Update: A few more spots have been added!
Update: The final image is indeed a Mickey head! Check out this tweet from @GumShoeGoof.
Here you all go. pic.twitter.com/VUXjOSoQW5
