Scrooge McDuck and LaunchPad Return to Disney World this Summer
Get ready for great character interactions this summer! You do not want to miss this exciting lineup of characters coming to Walt Disney World.
Scrooge and Launchpad at Disney World
Many Disney fans still reminisce over so many of their favorite characters missing at Walt Disney World Parks.
One of my (Donna) family's favorite character interactions was located at the former DinoLand USA at Disney's Animal Kingdom. My kids still talk about meeting both Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad McQuack.
While DinoLand USA is now extinct, both Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad McQuack return to Walt Disney World this summer, along with several other pals.
H2O Glow After Hours 2026
H2O Glow After Hours returns this summer at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for 13 neon-filled evenings beginning June 2 through September 5, 2026.
Donald Duck and Daisy Duck are joining the festivities, bringing their beach-party energy and dance moves to the DJ Dance Party, along with special appearances by Chip 'n' Dale as the Rescue Rangers, Scrooge McDuck, and Launchpad McQuack, and Powerline Max.
