<b>Who</b>: Postmaster General John E. Potter; Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Michael Eisner; and George Wendt, who played Norm on the award-winning television series “Cheers.”

<b>What</b>: The U.S. Postal Service will dedicate four postage stamps depicting Walt Disney characters.

<b>When</b>: 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

<b>Where</b>: In the forecourt of Sleeping Beauty Castle at the Disneyland Park

<b>Background</b>: 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 (<i>Man of the House</i>) 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. Mickey and his friends, through the magic of The Art of Disney: Friendship, will be available at Post Offices and Philatelic Centers nationwide beginning the next day, June 24.
