What’s Happening:
- Starting today through October 1, 2021, any U.S. resident over 18 can nominate a person who inspires them for “Disney Magic Makers.”
- The new contest will honor fifty nominees with a trip to Walt Disney World to celebrate the resort’s 50th anniversary celebration and a one-year subscription to Disney+.
- Nominations can be made by visiting DisneyMagicMakers.com. Disney is also encouraging others to celebrate their hometown heroes with social media posts using #DisneyMagicMakers on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok.
- Disney will also be donating a total of $400,000 to four non-profits: Make-A-Wish, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and The Nature Conservancy. Each showed innovative ways to continue serving their communities during the pandemic.
What They’re Saying:
- Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks Experiences and Products: “All of us at Disney have been inspired by the countless acts of goodwill by people across the country throughout the pandemic,” said. These magic makers and their stories have changed us in ways we never imagined. That’s why we’re so proud to celebrate those who continue to make everyday magic a reality.”
