Donald Ducks 75th Birthday

[lazy daisy]

Is everyone aware that this year is Donalds 75th birthday. This is one of the reasons we planned to go this year!

I sure hope I'll look as good as the duck when I'm 75!

March 13th...same birthday mine!

FYI: (from wikipedia)

Donald's birthday is officially recognized as June 9, 1934[2], the day his debut film, The Wise Little Hen, was released. However, in The Three Caballeros (1944), his birthday is given as simply "Friday the 13th", which is in reference to the bad luck he experiences in almost all his cartoon appearances. Donald's Happy Birthday (short) gives his birthday as 13 March.

BTW, I was born on a Friday too! AND this year, March 13th is a Friday.

Donald is my boy!

We are going to be down there on march 17th, I didnt realize March 13 was his birthday in the cartoon short. I really hope Disney does something to recognize this,,,,,maybe a PIN??????

I have pictures of Donald and me when I was 18. ( a few years back) in the picture he is so tiny and cute. He looked so young then. Lets see that was 34 years ago so at the time he was 41 when I first met him. Sure didn't look his age at all.
