Ways to Celebrate Donald’s 85th Birthday at Disneyland Resort
This is a very special weekend for Disney fans as Donald Duck celebrates 85 fun-filled years of making fans around the world smile. Donald made his animated debut in the Silly Symphony “The Wise Little Hen” back on June 9, 1934. To celebrate this monumental occasion we thought we’d share with you a few ways to celebrate at Disneyland Resort this weekend.
Mickey’s PhilharMagic – Disney California Adventure
The spectacular magic of Disney animation comes to life in this new 3D movie musical “Mickey’s PhilharMagic” starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other favorite Disney characters. As Donald prepares the orchestra for Mickey, he comes across the conductor’s baton and Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. A little magic goes a long way and proceedings go awry as Donald is unexpectedly plunged into a high-definition 3D dream world and you’re taken along for the ride!
Donald Duck Merchandise
Don your “Donald-best” with fun headwear and apparel. Favorites include the Donald Feet Headband, baseball cap, pins, whistle and more. If you can’t get enough of this sailor duck, be sure to take home a classic Donald Duck plush!
Donald Boat
Step aboard Miss Daisy, Donald’s colorful ship docked in Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland park. You’ll see Donald’s favorite photos, his seaworthy rain gear and where he sleeps below deck. Also, be sure to ring the boat bell and pull the ship’s whistle!
Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast
Over at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel Donald hosts a morning full of beachy fun at Disney’s PCH Grill for breakfast and brunch! Guests of all ages can catch some waves on the dance floor with Donald, Daisy and Stitch as you chow down on an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast buffet. And as a special treat this Sunday, PCH Grill is celebrating Donald’s birthday with celebratory moments each hour! If you want to hang out with Donald and friends while chowing down on some delicious grub call (714) 781-DINE to book your reservation.
