“Little orange bird, in the sunshine tree…”
Disney World fans are still nostalgic for the little Orange Bird, and Disney has unveiled some new merchandise that’s guaranteed to squeeze money from their wallets.
New merchandise includes plushies, hats, purses, dresses and more.
And the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival introduces a whole bunch of new Orange Bird merchandise including mugs, t-shirts and posters.
The Orange Bird was first introduced in 1970 as a mascot for the Florida Citrus Commission, which sponsored The Enchanted Tiki Room. He even had his own theme song, written by the Sherman Brothers.
The Orange Bird was missing for a number of years, but returned to the Sunshine Tree Terrace in the Magic Kingdom where he’s best known as the icon for the popular Citrus Swirl dessert.
