Fun Find Friday
September 23, 2016
Location: Disney Village, Disneyland Paris
Resort
Disneyland Paris Resort opened up in 1992 and
throughout most of the locations found on the property, you can tell
based off of the films and television shows represented. One of my
favorite examples is found in Disney village in a shop called Disney
Store.
In the center room, guests can find a giant
spaceship, piloted by Mickey Mouse himself that is being orbited by
several smaller spaceships. While most of the characters flying
around are familiar to kids today (Minnie, Donald, Dingo (Goofy for
you English speakers)), there are two characters that may seem
foreign to today's audiences:

One of the characters orbiting around is Launchpad
McQuack, who was first popularized in the hit Disney Afternoon show,
DuckTales and followed up his role in Darkwing Duck. The other
character that can be found goes hand in hand with a display on the
back wall:

The bear coming out of the plane is known by many as
Baloo who first appeared in The Jungle Book and had a follow up role
on another Disney Afternoon show, TaleSpin. In TaleSpin, he had a
copilot who was named Kit Cloudkicker. Orbiting around Mickey in
another plane is the famous copilot who was known for surfing the
skies away from Air Pilots!
