Louie's Eleven
As Dewey, Louie and Donald are looking in on the museum of Emma Glamour's party, Donald notices a woman ordering everyone around. Donald asks who she is, and Louie says that she's Daisy, Glamour's personal assistant. They need to get her pass if they want to get on stage. Donald can't help but have immediate heart eyes for her, but brushes it off and moves forward with the plan.

As Daisy leaves the room, Louie tells Donald to follow her and get the stage pass. He follows her to the elevator, where he watches her complain about the party, before breaking a vase next to her. The elevator arrives and Donald quickly runs forward, but lets her on first (although he does get stuck in the doors).

Inside, Donald notices the stage pass. He says that it's a beautiful night, but Daisy says that it's been terrible and asks what floor he wants. Donald then "accidentally" hits every button, which Daisy is annoyed by given that she wanted to get back fast. Donald attempts to grab the stage pass, but she notices and he quickly apologizes for being to close. Webby then cuts the power to the elevator and Donald ends up getting caught on Daisy's purse. They argue and try to get undone but it just end up getting worse. They then both notice that the elevator is stuck, and Daisy immediately blames Donald. Donald tries to defend himself, but can't really and the two start to argue. Donald accidentally brings up his "big break" in the process and Daisy suspiciously asks what he means. Donald admits that his band is crashing the party, much to Daisy's shock, and annoyance.

They're eventually able to get untied from each other, when Daisy realizes the stain from her coat is seeping onto her dress. She removes the coat, and reveals a beautiful dress. Donald compliments, which Daisy initially thanks him for but slightly brushes it off. She says that she made it herself and was hoping that Glamour would see it and put on her IT list, so that she can be a real designer. It's now not gonna happen because of the Caballeros dumb plan. She didn't expect Glamour to listen to her either way. Donald says that no one listens to him either, they don't understand him. Daisy says that's weird, since she understands him perfectly and they share a smile. Daisy decides that since they're not going anywhere, Donald should sing her something. Donald is hesitant at first, but does sing, which Daisy loves. Once he's done, Daisy decides that Glamour is gonna hear both of them, and throws her purse at the trapdoor above. A ladder falls down and they out.

In the vents, they search for an exit, and end up a vent over the main room, seeing the hostage situation that has gone down. Daisy asks what happeed, and Donald notices the kids, and tries to find another way out. Daisy follows behind, but pauses a moment to ask that he has kids. They find another vent and continue to watch what happens.

As Falcon grabs Glamour and Mark Beaks, Donald and Daisy leap from the air vents and pin him to the ground. He is able to free himself and fights the two. Donald starts to attack him in a rage, but Falcon throws him across the room. Daisy becomes enraged and is able to knock out Falcon before the police arrive to take him. Glamour recovers herself and starts to blame Daisy for how the party had a hostage situation, but Donald stands up to Glamour and tells her that Daisy was the one to save the party. Glamour says that no one speaks to her that way, but Daisy tells her that they do now. Glamour gives in and tells Daisy that her dress made the IT list. Donald and Daisy then share a smile as the party returns to normal.

As the Three Caballeros perform, Donald starts to sing and everyone instantly covers their ears, except Dewey, Louie and Daisy. Dewey says that it's too bad that the band didn't make the IT list given that Donald's singing is terrible, but Daisy says that she could listen to him sing all night. The two then share one last smile.

New Gods on the Block!
Donald is setting up the house boat for his and Daisy's date, when he is interrupted by Storkules. He tries to get Storkules to leave as fast as possible, just as Daisy arrives. She says hi to Storkules, as Donald assures her that he was leaving. He says that they have a date, and Daisy says that it's their second one. Storkules comes to the conclusion that they're going to be married and hugs them. Daisy asks who Storkules is, and Donald just gives a long sigh.

Donald and Daisy attempt to have their date, but things feel a little awkward with Storkules still there. Donald asks Daisy if she wants some punch, but Storkules takes as a question for him, before realizing his mistake. He goes to get them punch and Daisy quickly asks why Storkules is still there. Donald starts to apologize, when Storkules returns with the punch. Storkules asks Daisy her intentions with Donald, and Daisy says that they're to get to know him better. Storkules insists that he can tell her loads about him, then asks what she does for a living. Donald says that Daisy is a fashion designer, and Storkules starts to ask more questions. Daisy needs to step out for a moment, and Donald tells Storkules that he needs to leave. Storkules decides this means he needs to find a way to improve the date more and runs off.

Donald is distracted waiting for Storkules as he and Daisy have drinks outside. Daisy gets his attention again, and cuddles up to him. Donald starts to relax when he notices Storkules with cupid's arrow. He tries to tell him not to, but Storkules shoots the boat and knocks them into the water. Daisy angrily gets out of the water, and sadly decides that maybe their date was a mistake. She walks away, as Donald floats on the water in despair.

Daisy is driving away from the manor, questioning whether or not to continue seeing Donald, when she sees a Titan in the rearview mirror. She then quickly drives back to the mansion and through the woods, finding Donald in the hand of the Titan. It then swallows Donald, and Daisy screams. It's about to grab her when Storkules is able to hold its hands back. Storkules thinks they can save this, when Daisy yells that it killed her boyfriend. They both then hear Donald inside the Titan's stomach happily cheer over Daisy calling him her boyfriend.

After everyone gets thrown up by the Titan, Daisy rushes to Donald's side to check on him. The two smile at each other, and Donald places his hand on Daisy's face before realizing that it still has gunk on it. She laughs it off and the two kiss. Storkules then interrupts them and calls them a great couple. He then carries them off as they all walk away from the Titan.

Sheldgoose Square Dance

 * -|Classic Cartoons =

Daisy is first introduced in the 1937 short film Don Donald, however she is not given the name "Daisy" until the 1940 short, Mr. Duck Steps Out.

Don Donald
This short takes place somewhere in Mexico. Donald appears, riding on a mule. He rides towards the house of Donna (Daisy). She comes out to greet him, and takes a turn riding the mule. When the mule kicks her off, Donald laughs. Daisy takes this very poorly, and slaps him in the face. The two wind up in the middle of a classic Donald shouting match; arms flying and legs bouncing. Daisy pushes Donald into a water fountain, then cracks a guitar over his head. She storms into her home, and rips apart a picture of her and Donald.

Donald, looking to win back Daisy's favour, trades his mule in for a car. He returns to Daisy's home, and when she sees the car she kisses him. The pair take the car out for a joyride, but soon encounter troubles. Donald is ejected from the car, and Daisy is sped around the desert. Eventually she, too, is thrown from the automobile, landing in a mud puddle. Donald again laughs at her misfortune, and Daisy hits him with the car's horn. She then pulls a unicycle out of her purse, and angrily pedals herself back to town.

Mr. Duck Steps Out
This is Daisy's first appearance under her current name. The short opens with Donald preparing for their date, with a signed picture from Daisy visible on his dresser. He kisses the picture a number of times, before grabbing a box of chocolates and happily dancing towards the front door. However, Donald's nephews try and tag along. He locks them in a closet, but when he arrives to Daisy's house he discovers that the boys have beat him there. He chases them inside, but before he can punish them, Daisy appears. Donald seems instantly lovestruck, and explains that he brought his nephews along with him. Daisy sees this as being "very considerate".

Donald sends the boys off to get some ice cream, then joins Daisy on the couch. She plays hard to get, batting her eyelashes and beckoning him towards her with her tail. Before they can do anything, the boys return with their ice cream, knocking Donald off the couch and into the radio. Music starts playing, and Donald convinces Daisy to join him in dancing. Antics ensue, with the triplets entering into a battle with Donald for who gets to dance with Daisy.

The battle climaxes with the boys filling Donald with popping corn, sending his body moving erratically across the room. Daisy doesn't seem to notice that anything is amiss, and continues dancing with Donald. When the popping corn finally settles, Daisy declares "What a jitterbug!" and kisses Donald numerous times on the face. A smiling Donald, covered in lipstick marks, is shown as the film fades out.

Donald's Double Trouble
The short opens with Donald on the phone with Daisy. She is breaking up with him, telling him that he needs a more "pleasant" personality. Donald is distraught and despondent over this, until he bumps into a duck that looks identical to him. However, his personality is Donald's polar opposite; refined and eloquent. Donald convinces Dapper Duck to pretend to be Donald to win back Daisy.

Dapper arrives at Daisy's house and instantly woos her with his proper manners. As Dapper kisses Daisy on the cheek, Donald realizes that he's made a big mistake. He tries to stop Dapper from kissing her again, but Dapper assures him that everything is going according to plan. Donald follows the couple to the local carnival, keeping track of each time Dapper hugs and kisses Daisy. He grows more and more jealous as time goes on, especially as he witnesses Daisy kiss Dapper.

Dapper takes Daisy next to the Tunnel of Love. Donald pulls Dapper aside, showing him the number of kisses they've shared. Dapper again assures him that all is going to plan. Donald passes him a note, begging Dapper to take Daisy anywhere other than the Tunnel of Love. Dapper quickly rips up the note, and he and Daisy board the ride. Donald jumps in the water and swims after them, continuing to beg Dapper to leave Daisy alone. When Dapper again refuses, Donald charges into the ride after them. They fight, and eventually emerge from the ride in the arms of what they believe to be Daisy. However, Donald and Dapper are holding each other. Daisy comes storming out of the ride, screaming and waving her arms. Dapper and Donald panic, and run off together as Daisy continues yelling.

How to Have an Accident at Work
In this short, Daisy is Donald's wife. They have a (unnamed) son together. Daisy appears as a very tired housewife, constantly insisting to their young song that "Daddy's right".


 * -|Mickey Mouse (2013) =

In "The Adorable Couple", Mickey and Minnie try to make Donald and Daisy as happy as they are. Donald and Daisy are seen bickering with each other, and generally just not enjoying each other's company. Mickey and Minnie take the couple tandem bike riding, dancing at the park's bandstand, and try helping them enjoy the sunshine. Every plan, however, seems to backfire. It becomes apparent that Donald and Daisy genuinely enjoy bickering with each other, and they can get along just fine with Mickey and Minnie even if they don't have the same sort of relationship. In the end, Mickey and Minnie's sunshine and Donald and Daisy's raincloud makes a beautiful rainbow.

In "Captain Donald", it is revealed that Donald only wears his sailor's outfit because Daisy "loves a man in uniform". At the end of the episode, she offers him a pilot's uniform instead.

Fanon
Donald and Daisy are one of the beloved couples within Disney's iconic and central characters, next to Mickey x Minnie. The support for DonDaisy grows each time they appear in Mickey Mouse and Disney Duck related medias and fandoms, as well as among those who grew up watching the two Disney ducks. However, there is a subsection of fans who dislike Donald and Daisy's relationship, as they view it to be toxic. They cite the constant bickering between the two, especially in the classic Disney cartoons and Legend of the Three Caballeros. That being said, even people who dislike the pairing tend to agree that the DuckTales reboot is the best, and most healthy portrayal of the ship thus far.

On AO3, DonDaisy is the third most written ship for Donald, the most written romantic ship for Donald, and the most written ship for Daisy overall. It is also the tenth most written in the DuckTales (Cartoon 2017) and Disney Duck Universe tags, the seventh most written in the DuckTales (Cartoon 1987) tag, the sixth most written in the Disney Ducks (Comics) tag, the fourth most written in The Three Caballeros (1944) tag, the third most written ship in the Legend of the Three Caballeros (Cartoon) tag, and the second most written in the Mickey Mouse and Friends (Cartoon) tag.
