Oswald The Lucky Rabbit Is Coming To The Disneyland Resort!

Have you heard of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? Oswald hit the animation scene back in 1927, predating even Mickey Mouse. From the time of his inception until 1928, Walt Disney actually produced 26 individual Oswald the Lucky Rabbit animated shorts, before he left the studio that he worked for and the rights to Oswald, behind. It was then that Walt took a look at Oswald, rounded his ears, and gave him a more... mouse-like appearance, thus creating Mickey Mouse.

The Walt Disney Company got the rights to Oswald back in 2006, in exchange for allowing sports broadcaster, Al Michaels, who was under contract with Disney at the time, to leave the company and go work for NBC Universal. Then, earlier this year, Oswald made his first Disney Parks appearance, at Tokyo DisneySea.

So, the point of my story is that Oswald is now coming to Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort! Beginning September 14, 2014, you'll be able to find him to meet, chat with, and take pictures, on Buena Vista Street.

Hope you enjoyed the short history lesson and have a great time meeting Walt's "first" Mickey Mouse!
