DuckTales Woo-oo

Disney

If you grew up in the late '80s, you probably remember watching DuckTales. The cartoon series followed the adventures of Donald Duck's nephew's, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their great-uncle, Scrooge McDuck.

Disney has created a new series, loosely based on the original, which will feature an amazing cast, including David Tennant as Uncle Scrooge, Danny Pudi as Huey, Ben Schwartz as Dewey, Bobby Moynihan as Louie, Kate Micucci as Webby, Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley, Beck Bennett as Lauchpad McQuack, and Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Featuring a distinct animation style inspired by the classic Carl Barks’ comic designs, DuckTales chronicles the high-flying adventures of Duckburg’s most famous trillionaire Scrooge McDuck, his mischief-making triplet grandnephews – Huey, Dewey and Louie, temperamental nephew Donald Duck and the trusted McDuck Manor team: big-hearted, fearless chauffer/pilot Launchpad McQuack; no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Beakley; and Mrs. Beakley’s granddaughter, Webby Vanderquack, resident adventurer and the triplet’s newfound fierce friend.

Disney

The story unfolds as Donald Duck reluctantly takes Huey, Dewey and Louie to the home of their reclusive great-uncle Scrooge McDuck. Enthralled by their once-legendary great-uncle and the wonder of McDuck Manor, the triplets and Webby learn of long-kept family secrets and unleash totems from Scrooge’s epic past, sending the family on an adventure of a lifetime to the Lost City of Atlantis.

DuckTales will debut with a 24 hour marathon of the first episode on DisneyXD August 12.

Donald Duck Topiary

Every spring, fun new character topiaries appear throughout EPCOT for the International Flower and Garden Festival. This Donald Duck topiary, with the adorable bee on his forehead, was near Connections in 2024. I wonder which characters will be featured this year?

D.I.Y. Duck

Disney

In honor of Donald Duck's 90th birthday, Disney has created an all-new animated short starring everyone's favorite temperamental duck. In "D.I.Y. Duck", Donald discovers how one small home improvement project can often lead to several much larger ones.

Poor Donald! He does have the worst luck.

Donald Duck's Trick or Treat Short

Disney

I love this old Donald Duck Halloween cartoon from the 50s. And it has Witch Hazel, who is my favorite Disney Witch.

More 50th Anniversary Treats Arrive in the Magic Kingdom

All images: Disney

Have you seen the latest 50th Anniversary Celebration treats to arrive in the Magic Kingdom? It looks like a delicious collection of culinary delights. 

The Chilling Chamber Push Pop can be found at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments. The Push Pop features vanilla cake, graham cracker crumbs, and caramel buttercream, topped with a chocolate quicksand stretching room portrait. There, you can also find the Doom Berry, a blackberry ginger beer with EARidescence Sugar and a Haunted Mansion themed straw.

The Always Tea Time Slush will be available at the Cheshire Café. It looks intriguing, but the flavor is currently a mystery.

Two treats can be found at Pinocchio Village Haus. The Orange and Almond Tart is topped with orange blossom cream, roasted almonds, and a chocolate it's a small world disc.

The Croque Monsieur Flatbread is a Flatbread topped with bechamel sauce, sliced ham, sliced tomatoes, and Gruyère cheese.

Gaston’s Tavern is the place to find the Donald Duck Dome Cake. The dome cake features lemon mousse with blueberry filling, citrus cake, and buttercream.

A new float can be found at Aloha Isle. The Crooning Flowers Float is lime and vanilla soft-serve swirl over pineapple juice topped with a blue chocolate feather.

The Golden Oak Outpost has a new sandwich. The Slue Foot Sue Fish Sandwich is a fried fish sandwich with cilantro lime slaw and poblano mayonnaise. 

The Cheers to 50 Years! Sundae can be found at the Plaza Resturant. It's an over-the-top concoction made of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, brownies, pretzels, hot fudge, fudge, caramel corn with chocolate drizzle, chocolate chip cookies, and whipped cream with a cherry on top. Wow, thats a lot!

And finally, a new cinnamon roll is available at the Main Street Bakery. The Anniversary Cinnamon Roll is dusted with EARidescent sugar and the 50th logo pressed penny chocolate. 

Autographs - An Adventure in Collecting, Part 5 EPCOT

EPCOT is a great place to collect autographs. The lines are generally short and there are many opportunities to meet characters at this park. There are a few character Meet'n'Greets in Future World and several in the World Showcase. And if you're a Disney Visa cardholder, don't forget to take advantage of the special Meet'n'Greet in Innoventions. Not only will your family get a private session with some of the characters, but you'll also receive a free 5x7 photo from the session.

Characters that can be seen on normal days:
Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto
Chip & Dale
Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie*
Alice
Mary Poppins
Mulan*, Mushu*
Belle, Beast*
Snow White, Dopey
Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet

Characters that are sometimes available:
Governor Radcliffe
Marie
Baloo
Donald Duck in 3 Caballero's clothes*, Jose Carioca*

* = only at this park

There are also some special event characters that you can meet at Christmas, only at EPCOT, and sometimes they do sign autographs. They also tell stories about the winter customs of their countries. The stories are very interesting and help children learn about other culture's customs without realizing they are learning. I would recommend getting to each storytelling early and standing as near the front as possible. Depending on when you go, you may be the only family waiting for a storyteller, and you may be chosen to help with the story. (Bean was chosen to help La Befana by holding her broom!)

The special Christmas storytellers are:
Nowell the Lumberjack (Canada)
Father Christmas (United Kingdom)
Pere Noel (France)
Taarji (Morocco)
Daruma Doll Seller (Japan)
Santa & Mrs. Claus (American Adventure)
Hanukkah (American Adventure)
Imani (American Adventure - Kwanzaa)
La Befana (Italy)
Helga & the Nutcracker (Germany)
Monkey King (China)
Sigrid & Julenissen (Norway)
Los Tres Reyes Magos (Mexico)

Disney Tub Toys

Disney

I love Disney tub toys! We have several sets (it seems like at least one set is on clearance every time we go to Disney World), but my favorite is the It's a Small World boat with children from various countries. The children represent China, Mexico, Italy, Africa, and Japan. They sit in the boat and float along as your child plays in the tub. We purchased this on our one trip to Disneyland since Bean was born. She loves it and has played with it for several years. Recently, Disney released a new version of the boat with Donald in his Mexican costume at the front. The set also includes Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Stitch and Peter Pan. It is absolutely adorable!

Disney also has several character sets, generally in groups of 5 - 7, that come in a storage bag. We have 3-4 of these sets. My sister's favorite is the Nightmare Before Christmas set with Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie, the Mayor, and Zero. We have a set with Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Peter Pan, Hercules, Pinocchio and Dopey. Another set is Pixar characters: Mr. Incredible, Dash, Buzz Lightyear, Sulley from Monsters Inc, Nemo, and Woody. The set I love is one that we haven't purchased yet, the Star Wars set: Yoda, C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Clone Trooper, and Boba Fett. Maybe when we go to Star Wars Weekends, if it's still available.

Other sets include a classic characters set: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto; a Playhouse Disney set with Mickey & Minnie from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Lumpy & Darby from Tigger & Pooh Supersleuths, and Leo & June from Little Einsteins; and a Princess set with Cinderella, Ariel, Snow White, Belle, Aurora, and TinkerBell.

In addition to sets, we have a few Donald Duck rubber duckies. My favorite is Donald in the Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy. We also have a few Princesses made for the tub or pool. Bean loves her Ariel that changes color with warm or cool water. In all, there are a lot of Disney toys for kids to have fun with in the tub.

Donald's Dino-Bash

This adorable dinosaur welcomes you to Donald's Dino-Bash in DinoLand USA at Animal Kingdom. It also appears to show how Donald Duck evolved from a dinosaur.

Disney Lego Minifigures

Yesterday, the Disney Parks Blog shared the news that a Disney Lego minifigure series is set to debut this May. There have been rumors of such a collection for years, so it's nice to see them become a reality. The series includes 18 minifigures: Syndrome, Ariel, Aladdin, Captain Hook, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck, Maleficent, Stitch, Ursula, Alice, Cheshire Cat, Peter Pan,  Mr. Incredible, Buzz Lightyear, Little Green Man, and Genie. Which one(s) do you want most? I think I must have Maleficent and Stitch.

Autographs - An Adventure in Collecting, Part 3 Hollywood Studios

There are many opportunities to collect autographs at Disney's Hollywood Studios. For some characters, this is the only park where you can meet them for photos and autographs. The lines in this park are generally shorter than at the Magic Kingdom. At Hollywood Studios, I would recommend seeing Prince Caspian, the Incredibles, Playhouse Disney characters if you have little kids who enjoy the shows, Lightning McQueen & Mater, Mike & Sully, and the characters from UP. I haven't been to the Star Wars weekends yet, but I've heard that there are a lot of great characters to meet at these special events, as well as some of the actors who performed the roles in the movies. Most of the characters at Hollywood Studios are in special, themed areas specific to the character and are available throughout the day. Then there are rotating characters at the Magic of Animation building. These characters vary and may change multiple times throughout the day. As a result, you never know who you're going to get, but that can be fun if you have the time.

Characters that can be seen on normal days:
Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Sorceror Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto
Chip & Dale
Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Green Army Man*
Prince Caspian*
Power Rangers Green*, Yellow*, Pink*, and more*
Elastigirl*, Mr. Incredible*, Frozone*
Genie
Playhouse Disney: Handy Manny*, Jojo & Goliath*, Annie*, Quincy*, Leo* & June*
Indiana Jones* & Marion* (after the stunt show)
Lightning McQueen* & Mater* (they can't sign autographs because they don't have hands!)
Mike Wazowski* & Sully* (they can't sign autographs because Roz won't allow extra paperwork!)
Russell*, Mr. Fredrickson (Carl)*, and Dug* from UP

Characters that are sometimes available:
Belle
Mulan
Mary Poppins & Bert, Penguin
Villains: Captain Hook & Mr. Smee, Cruella DeVille, Frollo, Governor Radcliffe, Jafar, Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Queen of Hearts, the Snow Queen, Evil Queen
Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee, the White Rabbit
Rafiki
Snow White & Dopey
Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore
Pinocchio, Gepetto
Lilo & Stitch
Max

Darth Vader*, Boba Fett*, Stormtroopers*, Darth Maul*, Clone Troopers*
Jedi Mickey*, Stormtrooper Donald*, Vader Goofy*, Leia Minnie*

* = only available at this park
Tomorrow, on to Animal Kingdom.
