Disney Fans Meet The Oregon Ducks! 🦆 Historic Eugene & Nike Roots

Our Pacific Northwest road trip brings us to the vibrant city of Eugene, Oregon, famously known as TrackTown USA! As massive Disney fans and sports enthusiasts, we could not wait to spend the day exploring the beautiful University of Oregon campus. We stopped by for a fantastic lunch right on campus and had an absolute blast diving into the local spirit. 

One of our favorite highlights was seeing the legendary Oregon Ducks mascot in the Ducks store, especially learning all about the throwback history of how the University of Oregon officially partnered with Walt Disney to use Donald Duck as the inspiration for their beloved mascot! 

Beyond the amazing campus spirit, Eugene holds a massive place in sports history as the ultimate birthplace of Nike. 

To wrap up our amazing day, we headed over to downtown Eugene to explore the historic Broadway and Pearl District. Wandering through the charming streets, checking out the local shops, and experiencing the downtown culture was the perfect way to finish a super fun day.
