2005 Art of Disne Stamps
Disney had previously been featured on two US stamps. One in 1968, honored Walt Disney himself. Another was issued in 1998 as part of the Celebrate the Century Series, which pictured a scene from Snow White. It was honoring the film because it was the nation’s first feature-length animated film.
In 2004, the USPS worked with Walt Disney artists to create the first stamps in the Art of Disney Series. The set would include the first US stamp to picture Mickey Mouse, even though many other nations had issued Disney and Mickey stamps before. The first set in the series was dubbed the Art of Disney: Friendship, and featured some of Disney’s enduring friendships.
The stamps were issued on June 23, 2004, at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The first-day ceremony was held in front of the park’s Sleeping Beauty Castle and was attended by the postmaster general and Disney’s CEO, Michael Eisener. The postmaster said that with these stamps, “we get the chance to capture the spirit of friendship as it appears in the art, the imagination and the creative tradition of Walt Disney.” Eisner then noted that it was a rare honor for Disney to be featured on our stamps and that he was “pleased that millions will have the chance to brighten their correspondence with Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and other Disney friends.”
The series continued in 2005 with the Art of Disney: Celebration stamps. Each stamp pictured Disney characters celebrating together. They were issued on June 30, again at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. These stamps also celebrated the 50th anniversary of Disney’s theme parks.
The third set in the series honored romance and was issued on April 21, 2006. Each of the stamps pictured one of Disney’s famous couples. The stamps were issued in Orlando as part of the 13th annual Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival at Disney World.
In 2007, the series continued with the Art of Disney: Magic. Each of the stamps features magical characters or magical moments from Disney history. The stamps were issued on August 16, 2007, at the American Gardens Theater at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
The final set in the series was issued on August 7, 2008. Titled The Art of Disney: Imagination, these stamps specifically honored Walt Disney. All of the characters pictured are from films he touched with his creative vision. The stamps were issued at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.
Though not part of the Art of Disney Series, the USPS issued a few more stamps in the years to come that featured Disney characters.

Why is "FOREVER" crossed out in the image?
So the lines in your picture:
- It does not mean that the stamp has expired;
- It does not mean that you cannot continue to use it;
- Nor a postmark;
- It's just an artificial anti-copying line added to the display image.
Note: If the physical stamp you receive actually has this crossed line printed on it, be cautious. It may be a display sample, a replica or a fake stamp, rather than a normal usable stamp.
What are the common types of stamps, and how do they differ?
- Forever Stamp: Valid for standard domestic letters within the U.S. These stamps typically do not bear a fixed face value; they remain valid for mailing a standard one-ounce letter at the current rate, even if postage prices increase in the future.
- Global Forever Stamp: Primarily used for standard international letters or postcards sent from the U.S. to other countries. The main difference between this and a standard Forever Stamp lies in its scope of use and postage value.
- Postcard Stamp: Designed specifically for domestic postcards that meet USPS size standards; the postage rate is typically lower than that for standard letters.
- Additional Ounce Stamp: Used to cover the cost of weight exceeding the first ounce; these are usually used in conjunction with a Forever Stamp or other stamps.
- Two-Ounce and Three-Ounce Stamps: Suitable for heavier letters, greeting cards, wedding invitations, or multi-page documents, eliminating the need to combine multiple stamps to cover the required postage.
- Fixed-Value Stamps: These stamps display a specific monetary value (e.g., 1¢, 5¢, or other amounts) and are primarily used to make up postage differences or in combination with other stamps.
- Commemorative and Thematic Stamps: Typically issued to mark historical events, cultural or artistic themes, holidays, notable figures, animals, or natural landscapes. While suitable for regular mail, these stamps are also popular among collectors due to their unique designs and limited release periods.
It is important to note that a stamp's theme and its postage class can overlap; for example, a holiday-themed stamp might also be a Forever Stamp. When purchasing, check for markings such as FOREVER, GLOBAL, POSTCARD, ADDITIONAL OUNCE, or a specific face value to confirm the stamp's intended use.
