Mickey's Star Traders is a futuristic “Mickeyopolis.” Oversized murals depict land, air, airships and trains. The sweeping ceiling comes to life with animated lighting, ending at a central “atomic energy” icon that beams light onto the floor and fixtures. And streamlined shapes, bold colors, and careful placement of floor fixtures and wall bays extend the fantastic theme.
