The first time I ever saw clips from Walt Disney’s Hawaiian Holiday short was when the Disney Channel debuted DTV in the ’80s. DTV used snippets from various Disney animated projects to create music videos with contemporary and “oldies” music. For example, Hawaiian Holiday was featured heavily in Annette Funicello’s “Pineapple Princess” from 1960.
The short was pretty simple. Donald, Goofy, Mickey, and Minnie are on vacation in Hawaii. And, of course, various hijinks happen, and I’m 100% sure Donald calls someone a “son of a #$%*” during one of his tantrums. The cartoon also features a lot of classic Goofy slapstick. All around, it’s a classic.
It’s not hard to see why Hawaiian Holiday has stood the test of time. The bright colors, lively music, and exotic vacation vibes make it an easy watch that transports you to the aloha spirit of the islands. Watching it again always makes me imagine what it would have been like to vacation in Hawaii with those characters, embarking on a carefree, adventure-filled trip, where the only thing that matters is enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
When planning a trip to Hawaii yourself, you can tap into that same feeling of fun and adventure. Whether you’re walking the beach or taking in a sunset from a lookout point, the island’s beauty is all around you. But to truly capture that carefree, laid-back vibe of a Disney-style vacation, you might want to consider a scooter rental during your trip. Scooters offer a relaxed yet efficient way to explore, giving you the flexibility to cruise along the coast or visit charming local spots with ease.
It’s a great way to channel that playful, adventurous spirit—without the hassle of trying to find parking or worrying about traffic. Just hop on, take in the sights, and enjoy your very own Hawaiian holiday, just like the characters in that classic Disney short.
Being that it is Summer, it makes perfect sense that Super7 would choose right now to release a new set of Disney ReAction figures based on this particular 8-minute Walt Disney toon. The gang is all here, even Donald in his hula skirt! Each character has five points of articulation and comes with an accessory. Goofy has his surfboard. Donald’s got a lei and ukulele. Minnie also gets a lei, while Mickey comes with a guitar.
The characters can be purchased individually at $18 a pop or as a set for $72. ReAction figures are “made to order” and are not mass-produced.
