I just realized, the House Ghosts short with the lonesome ghosts has Mickey's house quite literally turning into the interior of the Haunted Mansion, complete with the coffin, endless staircase, creepy face doors, gargoyle candle holders, the moving suit of armor, and the iconic wallpaper! They even have Madam Leota's Phantom Band.
The dancing skeletons are also a nice reference to the black and white Skeleton Dance short.
The Untold Treasure short actually has the Mary Blair Mermaids
from her concept art for Peter Pan!
(I’ll have to go through all of these and see how many references I can spot, when I have time.

Mickey had a King alterate costume in Disney Infinity, and Donald and Goofy occasionally wear their KH costumes at the parks, but I think that's about it.
Disney100 Marathon | DreamWorks MarathonI really love the amount of references to Mickey's past was seen in The Wonderful Spring of Mickey Mouse. Especially the Splash Dance album complete with one of the song's briefly playing. Can somebody send me a link to that specific song?
Also the Dopey Sun cracked me up the entire time!

Trailer for "The Wonderful Summer of Mickey Mouse"
just arrived today.
I'd say a remake of Ethereal Snake's Mickey Mouse cartoons in the series' art style is what's next.

Locking this thread in favor of keeping the discussion of these shorts on this thread

https://www.cbr.com/wonderful-world-of-mickey-mouse-paul-rudish-interview/
Here's an interview with Paul Rudish where he reveals a few things.
1. For season 2, there will be something a little experimental. There will be 4 specials to tie in with the 4 seasons. Disney specifically requested that the team do something different for the season.
2. This episode idea was planned, but never went through. It involved Mickey and Donald dressing up in a 2 man horse costume for Halloween, but the zipper gets stuck, and an actual horse falls in love with them.
