Donald Duck created by Walt Disney himself debuted in “The Wise Little Hen” in “Silly Symphony” back in 1934 and has been adored by hundreds of thousands of Asian guests since the resort’s opening in 2016. This one-of-a-kind duck has made so many laughs, smile and quack! Did you know that in 1936, Donald Duck appeared in a comic in The China Press alongside other Walt Disney cartoon characters offering Christmas greetings? After that, the loveable duck appeared in a number of cartoons and comic books throughout China and became a much-loved character due to his adorable fiery temper! Donald Duck made his TV debut on Chinese television with his pal Mickey Mouse in 1986. Broadcasting every week a 30-minute show on the China Central Television Network!

On the 9th June, there will also be a special birthday ceremony near the Storyteller Statue featuring Donald Duck and his friends, Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto.
