He first appeared on June 9, 1934. Today, we’ll show you how to make your very own Donald Duck cupcake so you can celebrate at home.

Ingredients

  • Batch of baked cupcakes
  • White frosting
  • Yellow Swedish Fish candies
  • Kitchen knife or scissors
  • Small black jellybeans
  • Tube of black decorating icing

Directions

  1. Frost the cupcakes, using the knife to pull the frosting up into a couple feathery peaks at the top of the head.
  2. For a duck bill, slice a yellow Swedish Fish candy in half lengthwise. Then press the two halves into the frosting, separating them slightly, at the very edge of the cupcake top (opposite the feathery frosting peaks).
  3. For eyes, press two black jellybeans into the frosting. Use the black decorating icing to pipe on curved eyebrows about 3/8 inch above the eyes.

Petition For Disney To Stop Casting POC Meet and Greet Characters with White Entertainers Goes Viral

Petition For Disney To Stop Casting POC Meet and Greet Characters with White Entertainers Goes Viral. Some Disney Parks fans are not happy with how Disney has been “whitewashing” many of the meet and greet characters found in the theme parks around the world. So much so, that it has sparked a petition online to only cast POC entertainers in roles such as Black Panther, Jasmine and Aladdin, Moana, and more.

The creator of the petition writes: “Disney claims to care about people of color, but they continue to cast white men and women in fake spray tans for these particular roles. Important characters such as; Jasmine, Pocahontas, Moana, Black Panther, Li Shang, and Aladdin, within the Disney entertainment arenas around the world, need to be played by the people of color they were brought to life by. It’s extremely disrespectful to the community of color and it needs to stop. Young kids come to the parks looking forward to meeting these characters, aka their personal heroes, and are instead, sadly greeted by white men and women in cheap spray tans. Disney has more than enough monetary resources and beautiful actors to choose from, there is absolutely no reason as to why this should be allowed to continue. So please sign this petition in hopes of making these much needed changes a reality. ”

Currently the petition has 19,658 signatures out of the requested 25,000, with a high chance that many more will be added to the roster by the time you read through this article.

We know entertainment is a tough business to be in, but this never should have been an issue in the first place. There are thousands of entertainers that audition year after year for these roles and though many entertainers in the parks fill multiple face characters roles per their job description, roadblocks should be kept in place to allow for diversity amongst the Entertainment Cast Members, particularly in roles for a POC characters from the films and shows. There is no reason to replace characters with various ethnic backgrounds out of convenience with entertainers that do not share that same heritage.

Have you had this issue when visiting the Disney Parks? Does it ruin the magic for you and your family when a character is blatantly not represented by the proper actor/actress? Then you can sign the petition and support the cause by CLICKING HERE to let your voice be heard.

Will Disney adopt new cleaning strategies for their resorts when reopening

Disney Resort

The latest trend among hotels is the renewed focus on brand-name cleanliness. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started, more than two dozen major hotel chains have announced new partnerships with cleaning product companies, academic scholars, and health organization leaders. Florida hotel chains are following this example to reassure tourists how it’s safe to travel again. Will Disney adopt new cleaning strategies for their resorts when reopening?

On April 21st, Marriott announced its new Global Cleanliness Council, which includes advisory members from Ecolab, Cornell University, and Perdue University. Arne Sorenson, the president and CEO of Marriott International explained his reasoning for the company’s new partnerships in response to the pandemic.

”We are living in a new age, with COVID-19 front and center for our guests and our associates. We want our guests to understand what we are doing today and planning for in the near future in the areas of cleanliness, hygiene and social distancing.”

In the coming months, expect to see hotel cleanliness initiatives transform into a primary marketing tool. Many hotel chains are seeking brand-name partnerships to enhance their message to the public. For instance, Hilton launched their “Hilton CleanStay with Lysol” initiative that has them paired up with Lysol and experts from the Mayo Clinic. The tourism industry wants to ensure the safety of travelers by showing proof of how they are committed to new health practices.

With so many major hotel chains announcing their new health and safety agendas, we might see Disney follow suit with their own special initiatives. Time will tell if they do announce similar partnerships for their resorts.

Drone pilot received tresspassing warning for trying to get photos of Disney World

Drone

Looks like Dumbo and Peter Pan are not the only ones flying in the sky above Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Last month, Disney security observed a drone the size of a frisbee flying within 100 feet of Cinderella Castle. It surprised the Disney workers when they witnessed an unauthorized drone passing through Walt Disney World Resort. The incident happened on May 20th, 2020.

According to the incident report, the man who owned the drone was issued a trespass warning. An off-duty Orange County deputy found the 40-year old Minneola man piloting the drone from the parking lot of an apartment complex. The name of the drone pilot has not been released since he wasn’t charged with a crime. Several sheriffs cars arrived on the scene when they found the drone pilot near Reams Road. He didn’t live at the apartment complex, but he traveled there so he could get close enough to pilot his drone. The man thought there would be no harm in him filming. Since then, he deleted the footage he filmed and apologized for his actions.

“I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong,” he said. “I don’t want to get into more trouble with Disney.”

Walt Disney World Resort does not permit unauthorized drones, and the FAA authorizes a no-fly zone for the property. The good news is that no harm came from this incident, but it is a reminder that Disney security is looking out for the safety of guests on the resort premises.
