Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other Disney characters were incorporated alongside live-action skits, musical numbers, and serial stories. Walt Disney used the show to help finance and promote his new Disneyland Park, which opened in 1955. The original show remained in syndication into the 1970s and was later revised as the <i> New Mickey Mouse Club</i>.
