As you already know, I’m a huge Disney fan and one of my
favorite Disney characters is Donald Duck. Sure, I love many of the Disney
characters. I mean who doesn’t love Mickey Mouse but there has always been
something about Donald that I’ve found endearing. Maybe it’s his episodic
crankiness or just the fact that he has many of our human traits. Besides, I
just love his quacky lisp.
As some of you may already know, June 9, 2014 marked the 80th
Anniversary of this Disney icon and when I saw the Disney Store limited edition
tee celebrating this event, I simply had to have it.
I believe Donald gets short shrift when it comes to apparel
next to the more famous and identifiable Mickey and Minnie even though Donald
tees look to sell pretty well. But again, I’m still steamed that Disney didn’t
come out with a 30th Anniversary EPCOT Figment tee in an Adults
Men’s size!
A tidbit that not everyone may know this but I remember
years ago being on one of the Disney Cruises and and Donald was nowhere to be found. Well, I was told by a cast member that Donald wouldn't be taking the cruise because his tail, although adorable, was a bit too big to maneuver around the boat, particularly in the
elevators. Don’t know if he was kidding or not, but if that was true, I’m very happy
to say that since then they may have rectified the problem with Donald’s backside because he’s been back on DCL for a while now.
This 80th anniversary t-shirt is Donald Duck screen art
on a Hanes jersey knit celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Donald's debut in
Walt Disney's Silly Symphony cartoon classic The Wise Little Hen (June 9,
1934). It’s a 100% cotton ribbed crew neck. Now sold out through Disney but if you search online you
can still find some availability online.
