Happy Birthday Donald Duck!
Donald Duck’s birthday is June 9th! He was born in 1934 which makes him 80 years old this year. Doesn’t he look great for his age :). Donald debuted in “The Wise Little Hen” Silly Symphony cartoon and was immediately loved by all. Today we are celebrating Donald with all of our Disney friends in a fun Donald’s Birthday Party Blog Hop. After you read through our fun game below be sure to hop over to all the blogs to see all the other great ideas to celebrate Donald’s Birthday.
Our addition to the party is a fun game called Donald Duck’s Quacky Hoopla Game. We found this fun game on Disney’s Spoonfull Site so head over there for the step by step details of the game. It’s a simple ring toss style game, but the fun is in making your own Donald Duck Pin (water bottle). This also makes it easy to know which water bottle is yours later in the party.
The template for your Donald can be found on the Spoolful Site Here or you can use our pre-colored one by clicking here. Simply cut out the template, color with your favorite colors, use tape (we used packaging tape) to apply the Donald face to the water bottle and start the ring toss fun. We used dive rings for a pool, but you can also cut the center out of a paper plate.
Again be sure to hop along with the blog hop and check out all the other ways we are celebrating Donald’s Birthday with out friends.

Our Favorite Food This Week: Honey Chicken
Location: Yak and Yeti Counter Service- Animal Kingdom
Price: $9.99
Welcome to this week’s Favorite Food Friday where we share our favorite foods with our friends. This week we head to the Animal Kingdom and try the Honey Chicken at the Yak and Yeti Counter Service. The meal comes in a container and includes Tempura Chicken, Carrots, Broccoli, Honey Sauce, and White Rice. Overall the food was great with a nice honey taste, but it was very hard to mix it up due to the size of the container and the quantity of food. The rice is on the bottom so trying to stir it up was a challenge without some chicken ending up on the table.
Have you tried Yak and Yeti counter service? What did you think?

Disney Travel Tip
Many of us love to travel with our extended family to Disney or we let our families know that we are planning a Disney trip and they just invite themselves, who isn’t looking for any reason to travel to Disney. As your travel party grows you may find it hard to book your favorite restaurants. Some restaurants are configured in such as way that there are few places for large parties, which make these reservations hard to come by. One thing to consider when you aren’t able to get in is to split the group. Yes I know it sounds drastic, but if you split the group and are able to get times that are close to one another you can request tables next to each other when you check in at the restaurant. You may have to wait an extra minute or two to get in as they get tables next to each other, but this saves you from missing your favorite restaurant.
This week we have linked up on the Travel Tip Thursday Blog Hop with our friends at Love Our Disney. Be sure to hop through and check out the other great tips.

Ever walk by the building below in Tomorrowland and wonder, hmm that’s an odd building wonder what it was used for.
For those of you that visited the Magic Kingdom before the passport style ticket was born you will definitely remember this building. I remember standing in this line with my parents many times. Scattered around the Magic Kingdom were ticket booths, where you purchased your tickets to experience an attraction. The ticket booth above is the last one standing at the Magic Kingdom today, you will find it on your way to Space Mountain in Tomorrowland in its current use as a Disney Vacation Club information area. The most recent loss was the one located near Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, after its use as a ticket booth it changed over to a camera shop and souvenirs before Pooh’s tree was moved across the path from the play area to it’s current home in front of the Winnie the Pooh attraction.
Passport style tickets replaced the A to E tickets in June of 1981. You will still people use the phrase E ticket to refer to the newest, most advanced, and/or most popular rides and attractions. While the A ticket would only get you on the Carrousel and the Main St Vehicles. Other attractions were in between with B, C, and D tickets.
Do you remember purchasing tickets at these ticket booths?
