It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not only because of the holidays (naturally), but because it’s birthday time for a very special someone at Disney World!
Walt Disney
That’s right: light up 119 candles, because December 5 is Walt Disney’s birthday! And we found the PERFECT gift to celebrate — and commemorate!
Hot on the heels of Mickey Mouse’s birthday on November 18 (ya know, in case you wanna send belated b-day wishes!), Walt’s birthday is comin’ up fast!
Magic Kingdom
Affectionately known as Walt Disney Day, December 5 is undoubtedly a special day in Disney World, and an apt opportunity for fans across the globe to celebrate this filmmaking legend!

While you may not be able to give Walt any gifts, you CAN treat yourself to something special in his honor, and we found the PERFECT pin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
One Man’s Dream
To celebrate the holiday, The Darkroom is stocked with Walt Disney Day 2020 pins, which feature a photo of a smiling Walt surrounded by a castle and Tinker Bell showering him with pixie dust!
