Disney is the happiest place on Earth. For the most part. It can be a little less happy if you're parent of four and you just spent your mortgage payment on lunch.

This guy was just trying to show his support for his favorite DJ (deadmau5, pronounced dead mouse), but failed to realize how Minnie and Mickey might perceive it. You can see Minnie's obvious dismay. Even through that emotionless mask we can see the pain in coming to terms with her mortality.
