60th birthday this year. Plenty of
Walt Disney characters were on
hand to celebrate.
To start the festivities was
“Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse’’.
Lanette Todd was featured as the
guest of honour while a group of
youngsters paraded around her,
disguised as a colourful array of
birthday packages, all addressed to
Mickey.
Cinderella appeared on the pro
