Donald Duck Joins “Disney Fab 50” Sculptures at Walt Disney World

“Who’s the leader of the Club that’s made for you and me?” While yes, Mickey Mouse is the correct answer, we can’t help but think of Donald shouting “Donald Duck” in the background! As the sculpture count continues to grow for the Disney Fab 50 sculptures, Disney’s newest addition would likely say he should have been the #1 reveal! Nonetheless, Walt Disney World’s preparations for their 50th Anniversary (The World’s Most Magical Celebration”) are well underway and we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of 50 fabulous character sculptures that will be located throughout each of Walt Disney World’s four parks. Even though many Disney fans are focused on the exciting new nighttime spectacular coming to Magic Kingdom called “Disney Enchantment”, and the new spectacular coming to EPCOT called “Harmonious”, we can’t help but get excited to spot Donald Duck and all his friends. Check out the latest details below with Donald’s addition!
