For over 75 years, the Walt Disney Company has had a close relationship with Toys for Tots. In fact, the Marine Corps charity’s iconic red train logo was designed by Disney animators! In furtherance of this relationship, Disney offers a Toys for Tots toy drive through their official web store each year!
In the midst of the holiday shopping frenzy, we must take a step back and remember what the season is all about.
Magic Kingdom Christmas tree
Disney’s annual toy drive is back for the 2023 season, and we’re here to show you how easy it is to donate and support Toys for Tots. You don’t even need to visit any stores in person or find a donation center to participate — all you have to do is visit the shopDisney website! We’ll show you how.
If you’re interested in giving back to a good cause this holiday season, Disney is making it REALLY easy for you!

The Disney Ultimate Toy Drive works with the Marine Toys for Tots program to provide toys to millions of families in need during the holidays, and now you can make a donation to support this cause!
 It’s basically stating the obvious at this point to say that Disney World can get very expensive.
The price might be pretty steep!
Between the park tickets, hotels, restaurants, and gift shops, you might be dropping more cash than you’d like to during your vacation. But you don’t always have to feel guilty about spending the money, especially since Disney actually has a lot of partnerships and programs that give some of the money you spend to charities and other good causes! Here are ten ways that buying Disney products can benefit the world. [Read more…]
Happy Holidays from all of us at DFB!
Holiday Mickey!!
The year is coming to an end and the holiday season is upon us! Between trying a lot of new holiday Disney snacks, going to Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT, and trying to snap the cutest pictures of Mickey and the gang in holiday attire, we haven’t even started to think about buying presents! WE STILL HAVE TO BUY PRESENTS! Thankfully, shopDisney has us covered! [Read more…]
Ah, beignets, how we love thee. Whether they’re peppermint, Mickey-shaped, or extra boozy, we love those bites of fried joy!
Peppermint Beignets
If you’re a lover of Disney beignets (basically, if you’re human), we’ve got a special treat for you: a way to get free beignets!
Today Disney officially kicked off the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive on Good Morning America.

The Disney Ultimate Toy Drive supports the Marine Toys for Tots program with a goal to help kids in need and inspire hope during the holiday season. You can also help donate to support this toy drive, and here’s how!
2020 was quite a unique year for everyone, including The Walt Disney Company.
Cinderella Castle
All of the Disney theme parks around the world temporarily closed for a period of time, and some have had to shut down again or have remained closed. Things have been tough for those in the community as well with many Cast Members having been furloughed or laid off, and so many dealing with loss due to the pandemic. But, in a time of difficulty, so many have also reached out to help others in need.
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.
Do you have holiday shopping on the brain? It’s about that time of year!
