toy drive

Join in the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive supporting Toys for Tots and help us inspire joy and hope this holiday season. Donate a new, unwrapped toy in person through Dec. 12, 2022. Donation bins are located in the Downtown Disney District near World of Disney, at Star Wars Trading Post and at the three Hotels of the Disneyland Resort. The U.S. Marines will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Dec. 10-11, 2022, near the Downtown Disney LIVE! stage to accept donations as well.

Disney’s tradition of supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves’ Toys for Tots program dates back to Walt Disney, who personally supervised the creation of the Toys for Tots logo. Disney also was a founding sponsor of the program when it began in 1947. Today, the Disneyland Resort is proud to continue supporting this tradition.
