Big Disney fans are familiar with some pretty important dates, like October 1st (the opening date for Disney World), December 5th (Walt Disney’s birthday), and November 18th (Mickey and Minnie’s birthday).

But even some of the most devout Disney fans may not know why they should be celebrating January 22nd.
What is the big deal about January 22nd? Why should you plan to celebrate it? And, perhaps most importantly, how should you plan to celebrate?

Well, January 22nd is National Polka Dot Day and the one, the only, Minnie Mouse, the queen of polka dots herself, is inspiring the 2023 celebration! You can celebrate in #minniestyle, which is not limited to fashion but can also encompass self-care, cultivating friendships, and more.

Now, how are you gonna celebrate this monumental holiday? Well, we have some ideas to help you get your polka dot day festivities rolling.
