Happy 70th Birthday Donald Duck

[KevinPage]

Donald debuted today in 1934.

Also, Mussolini's favorite cartoon character was Donald Duck

And according to Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, taken from "News of the Weird":

..." a Tulsa, Oklahoma, physican, writing in a 1992 issue of the IRISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE, reported on a 32 year old woman whose neighbors had a large satelitte dish installed in their yard. This woman became convinced she was being wooed by Donald Duck and that the dish was put there to facilitate his communicating with her. After "hovering" around the dish, she eventually undressed and climbed into it...where she later said she consumated the marriage to Mr. Duck."

Anyone remember Donald's 50th Birthday parade at the Magic Kingddom in 1984? I was only 9 at the time, but I remember it vividly because it was my first trip to WDW.

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" Happy Birthday Donald! You're still without a doubt the premier duck in show business. Daffy who?

That was the year of my first trip too! I remember the song, "Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy, happy, birthday to you!" Too bad I can only hear the song in my head! :lol:

I was wondering if anybody would remember that too!

Happy Birthday Donald!

Happy Birthday Donald!!! Though it may be your birthday, that still doesn't mean I'm putting you back into my KH party, as your HP sucks.

Happy Birthday to #2! He thinks he is #1, but he is mistaken. I corrected him once and boy did he get mad and jumped up and down.

Good trivia... hopefully I can see Donald again today, but at least I got to sing Happy Birthday to him yesterday. Donald and Daisy are by far my favorite characters.

Gotta buy the LE Pin today.

Are the parks doing anything to celebrate Donald's Birthday today? If anyone knows of anything special going on at WDW or Disneyland I'd love to hear about it!

Happy Birthday Donald...

I also remeber the parade vividly, it was my first trip to Disney when I was 8. I also have the parade on tape because my grandparents taped it for me when I was there. I was actually looking for it the other day to show my husband. I think I will have to take it out and show him that tonight in honor of the worlds best duck.
