Disney Ultimate Toy Drive supporting Toys for Tots 

Join cast members and guests as they bring joy to children in need this holiday season by donating to the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive. Disney kicked off the toy drive with a $500,000 donation to Toys for Tots. Join in and donate a toy online at shopDisney.com through this Dec. 24, 2021, or donate a new, unwrapped toy in person through this Dec. 14, 2021 at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World (where you’ll find collection bins at the World of Disney® store, Marketplace Co-Op, Star Wars Galactic Outpost and Disney Springs® Welcome Center) or at Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort (where collection bins are located at the World of Disney® store, Star Wars Trading Post, and Resort Hotel stores).

50 for 50 Disney VoluntEARS Challenge

In honor of The World’s Most Magical Celebration, Disney cast members are celebrating the 50^th anniversary of Walt Disney World by challenging themselves to complete 50 hours of personal volunteer service and attend 50 VoluntEARS events before the end of the 18-month celebration. Disney VoluntEAR events include supporting local holiday events, mentoring students in the local community, sorting donated toys, helping to feed those in need, and more. We’re so grateful to support the personal dedication of our cast members to make a difference in local communities around the globe.

Disney Matching Gifts 

When cast members donate to their favorite charities, The Walt Disney Company matches those eligible donations dollar-for-dollar from $25 up to $25,000, per individual, per year. It’s a great way to double the personal impact of our cast members on Giving Tuesday and every day, supporting eligible nonprofit causes that are important to our cast.

Walt Disney World also recently donated a total of $3 million to local nonprofits including: Give Kids The World Village, Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Heart of Florida United Way, Hope Partnership and ELEVATE Orlando.
