The 122-foot-tall hat weighs 156 tons and is made of composite fiberglass. The foundation was made of enough concrete to cover the length of a football field, according to Disney.Now, if Mickey were to wear the hat, he would have to be 350 feet tall and would have a hat size of 606 7/8.
The hat itself is 100 feet tall with an interior space equalling 60,000 cubic feet. It would be able to hold 444,744 gallons of water, if those broomsticks from "Fantasia" wanted to fill it up.
According to a Disney fact sheet, the hat is painted with something called “chameleon paint,” which shifts color as guests move around it. The paint job is enough to cover 500 cars. And to keep the hat together builders used 13,493 bolts, 26,986 washers and 17,000 feet of underground utility piping.
