Inspired by flapper girls of the 1920s, Minnie made her public debut in the short Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928. Her first spoken words, "Yoo-hoo!", have become a signature catchphrase synonymous with the character.
Donald Duck - 90 Years Old
Who knew Donald’s middle name was Fauntleroy?! Donald's first appearance was in The Wise Little Hen (1934), but it was his second appearance in Orphan's Benefit that same year that introduced him as a temperamental comic foil to Mickey Mouse.
Throughout the next two decades, Donald appeared in over 150 theatrical films, several of which were recognized at the Academy Awards. In the 1930s, he typically appeared as part of a comic trio with Mickey and Goofy and was given his own film series starting with Don Donald (1937).
These films introduced Donald's love interest and permanent girlfriend Daisy Duck and often included his three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

The Grand Legacy At The Park hotel is currently hosting a Oogie Boogie costume contest. All costumes are welcome, but how cool would it be if we had someone dress in a Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy or Pluto costume?
