An Update on an Original

Mickey Mouse and Friends Souvenir Tray

Happy Black Friday & Happy 3rd Anniversary to my blog.  Disneystore.com is celebrating with me by releasing, or should I say re-re-releasing, an early souvenir tray from Walt Disney World.  

The Orange Bird is a new addition and the hungry crocodile has been replaced by a happy hippo.  You can compare all the changes over the years by checking out my early posts:  "Look Out Donald" & "Where Did Donald's Nephews Go?"

  

Florida Orange Bird

Florida Orange Bird Plate

The Florida Orange Bird has made a remarkable recovery this year.  A native of Adventureland, it was placed on the endangered species list in the mid-80's after its popularity of the 70's waned.  This plate has the early WDW logo on the back.  I have also seen a bell, mug and other plates with this same design.  You can read more about the Orange Bird at Imagineeringdisney or WDWRadio.
