Did you know that November 18th marks Mickey and Minnie’s birthdays? While the date for Mickey’s birthday changed several times, November 18th is the date determined, and that has become accepted as his and Minnie’s birthdays. Other dates that were considered were October 1st, the day Walt first began drawing Mickey, as well as the dates when he debuted in his first and second films, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin’ Gaucho, both of which were never distributed. Thus, Walt Disney Archives founder Dave Smith determined the public premiere of Steamboat Willie to be the couple’s official birthday.

Major changes are about to hit Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

It was announced that Disney World would be getting eight new rides, which is super exciting, but in order to enjoy these rides, we have to deal with construction. You can expect to see construction in all four parks starting in 2025.
