I first went to Walt Disney World when I was about seven or eight years old. It was 1984. What was memorable about this was that 1984 was the year that Donald Duck turned 50. He had a great parade for his birthday. I was there for it. Seems I was one of the few.
Twenty years later, it's 2004. And Donald turns 70. There is, sadly, no parade though. However, I recently found the photos my mother had taken of his 50th Birthday Parade and decided to put them on the web. After searching for other sites and pretty much finding two (and only one with two grainy photos), I realized someone definately had to do something.
So the Donald Duck 50th Birthday Parade, 1984 Photo Gallery is officially launched. Anyone else remember it? Or the song they sung? Happy Birthday, it's Donald's Birthday! Happy, Happy Birthday to him! *clap clap!* Feel free to comment or email me if you have a site, photos or want to contribute some memories of the event. missm(at)giveneyestosee.com
(Don't forget either that I keep links to all my growing Disney content in my Disney Gateway!)
