Happy Birthday, Donald Duck!

Happy Birthday, Donald Duck!

Who's got the sweetest disposition?

One guess -- guess who!

Who never never starts an argument?

Who never shows a bit of temperament?

Who's never wrong but always right?

Who'd never dream of starting a fight?

Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?

No one... but Donald Duck!

Toontown Tuesdays: Donald Duck’s Boat

While most of Mickey Mouse’s friends live in Toontown, Donald Duck lives in Duckberg. He does like to stay close to his friends, however, which is why he keeps a boat docked across the street from Mickey’s house. The houseboat can be toured daily at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom in DISNEYLAND.

1945 - The Three Caballeros!

During World War II, the United States was afraid that the Axis Powers could gain a foothold in South America. The U.S. government enlisted the help of Walt Disney to go on a goodwill tour and possibly produce a picture afterwards. The result of that was the surprise hit Saludos Amigos. Walt Disney featured Donald Duck in the feature, as he was extremely popular in Latin and South America. Of course, a followup film was produced- The Three Caballeros.

 

The film brought Donald Duck together with his south of the border friends Panchito and Jose Carioca, three friends who entertain guests at Disney California Adventure daily during !Viva Navidad! as part of the DISNEYLAND Resort's annual Christmas celebration.
