These figures have been on tour for 35 years and date back to Walt Disney World's opening day. These three were once apart of the Mickey Mouse Revue, an Audio-Animatronic show in Magic Kingdom in the spot where it's spiritual successor now performs: Mickey's Philharmagic. Mickey Mouse Revue closed at Walt Disney World in 1980 to be moved to Tokyo Disneyland for its opening in 1983, where they performed for another 26 years till its closure there in 2009 for their version of Mickey's Philharmagic. Since then, they have been in the archives or used for special appearances. I had heard for ages that they wanted to use them for Gran Fiesta Tour, but it was a tall undertaking to clean up and reprogram older Audio-Animatronics like this, so the screen and animation was used as a filler. For being older than the park they are currently in, they look absolutely fantastic.
