Disneyland Resort has shared an exciting sneak peek at the updated look for one of its most iconic characters, Donald Duck, just in time for the highly anticipated Disneyland70 celebrations. The new version of Donald Duck and his partner Daisy Duck will be exclusively featured at Donald’s Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet at Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, beginning on May 16, 2025.
This character dining experience will premiere alongside Disneyland70 celebrations across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. The campfire-inspired dinner buffet will showcase not only Donald and Daisy but also Goofy, Pluto, and Clarabelle Cow as they greet guests in their newly updated outfits.
Disney Parks fans got their first look at the updated versions of Donald and Daisy Duck through a tweet by Scott Gustin on X (formerly Twitter). In the post, Gustin shared a side-by-side comparison of the new Donald and Daisy outfits compared to their concept art:
