food IS a theme park
Tonight has been a very exciting evening around Disney World! We bid a fond farewell to Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, and we said “hello” to Harmonious in EPCOT!
Illuminated barges after ‘Harmonious’
After taking in the sights and sounds of Harmonious, we noticed something extra special as we made our way out of the park (are you ready for this?).
The holiday season can really inspire people to be kinder, more joyous, and more generous to those in need.
Make a Wish collection
But the truth is, no matter what holidays you celebrate or don’t celebrate, it’s always a good time to help others. Earlier this year, we compiled a list of resources for and ways that you can help Cast Members in need in light of the recent furloughs and layoffs. We also shared other ways that you could help others, like by purchasing some of Disney’s Wishes Come True Blue collection to benefit Make-A-Wish.
Now, we’re compiling a list of some fantastic organizations that you can donate to or purchase from to help kids, Cast Members, and more.
Family Volunteer Day is this Saturday, November 23 and Disney has a few great ways to celebrate!

We love whenever we see Disney doing a charity event or encouraging volunteer involvement within communities, and they tend to go big when they do! Most memorably, Disney World set a world record with a sculpture made of 115,527 canned goods to donate in 2010. Well, with Family Volunteer Day, a global day of community service, happening this weekend; there are a bunch of fun ways to pay it forward and celebrate volunteering in the Disney parks!
