On this day in 1985, Mickey Mouse and Disneyland Ambassador Melissa Taylor embarked on a 30-day flight around the world. They were promoting Disneyland’s 30th anniversary celebration, which began the previous month.

Thousands of prizes were given out, like new GM cars, watches, plush toys, and admission tickets. [40 years ago in 2025]
