12 big Disney anniversaries to celebrate in June 2020
It’s always fun to look back and celebrate anniversaries, see when attractions opened (or closed) and when movies premiered.
June has a few special days including a special birthday. On June 7, Daisy Duck celebrates her 80th. Daisy made her first appearance in “Mr. Duck Steps Out.” In this 1940 short, Donald visits Daisy for their first known date. But their time alone is cut short as Huey, Dewey and Louie followed their uncle and ruin the moment.
