When: 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

Where: In the forecourt of Sleeping Beauty Castle at the Disneyland Park

Background: The U.S. Postal Service will dedicate The Art of Disney: Friendship, a set of four postage stamps honoring friendship as it appears in the art of Walt Disney. The stamps feature Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck and a host of Disney friends. And thanks to a new set of stamped postal cards and stamped stationery available that day, the Postal Service and Disney are making it easy to write home. George Wendt will serve as guest narrator for the event.

Anaheim, as host city to the event, holds the unique distinction of being the only city in the nation where the stamps, postal cards and stationery will be available on June 23.
