Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable animated characters in the world.  Millions of people love Mickey and even more love all things Disney.  Most Disney lovers are also collectors of their favorite characters.  Everything from a Mickey Mouse watch, to a t-shirt, and collectible figurines can be found.  And now Disney Checks can be purchased as well. 

Paying the bills is something everyone has to do once a month.  You can make it a much more pleasant experience by using checks that reflect your interests.  There are Mickey Mouse checks and Disney Princess checks.  If you are a fan of castles there are even Disney Princess castle checks.  Many of the Disney checks also have matching Disney checkbooks and Disney address labels as well.

If you are a fan of classic Disney movies then there are checks for you as well.  They contain images from beloved movies such as Dumbo, Pinnochio, Alice in Wonderland, and Lady and the Tramp.  Tinkerbell checks are also available. 

Ordering Disney checks online can be a convenient and cost saving measure.  Banks often charge a premium to order checks at your local branch and they may not have a very large selection to choose from.  If you place an order online then you are cutting out the bank as a middleman and we can pass the savings on to you. 

Disney Prepares for Presidential Pardon Turkeys

If you have ever wondered what happens to the turkeys that the President pardons for Thanksgiving, then here is your answer.  They go to Disney World!  According to a recent article the pardoned turkeys have called Disney home since 2005.  For over 60 years the President has been pardoning a turkey, the traditional food on Thanksgiving.  Normally they had been going to a farm in Virginia before the change was made to Disney.

Disney spokesman Duncan Wardle remembers it a bit differently. One Thanksgiving, chatting about the pardoned turkey over coffee, someone on his staff said, “Doesn’t that make him the happiest turkey on earth? We should bring him to the happiest place on earth.”

Last year’s birds — named May and Flower via online poll_ are currently living the good life at Disney World in Florida, where they were flown by a United Airlines flight that was renamed “Turkey One” for the occasion.

The pardoned turkeys are well taken care of at Disney with a special diet, handling, and private quarters.  The turkeys are generally overweight when they arrive, so a new diet is implemented to help them slim down.  The turkeys that will pardoned this year will go to Disneyland in California where they will be visible to the public at Big Thunder Mountain Ranch.
