Disney Ultimate Toy Drive: Donations Crucial for 2025 Toys for Tots Campaign. The Disney Ultimate Toy Drive aims to create moments of happiness and joy for children and families in need this holiday season. Disney Consumer Products, Disney Ambassadors, Disney Experiences, and across The Walt Disney Company are getting into the Holiday giving spirit. You can join in helping to donate!
The Walt Disney Company has launched its annual Disney Ultimate Toy Drive to benefit the Marine Toys for Tots Program, emphasizing the urgent need for donations this 2025 holiday season. The drive aims to deliver toys to children and families nationwide.
Disney’s collaboration with the Marine Toys for Tots Program spans over 75 years, a tradition initiated by Walt Disney himself. In 1947, Walt Disney and his animators designed the original Toys for Tots train logo, which is still in use today. This longstanding partnership continues to be a primary effort in bringing holiday cheer to children in need.
The Walt Disney Company has also just released the brand new holiday short: Disney’s 2025 New Holiday Short, Featuring John Goodman as ‘Doodle’, Directed by Taika Waititi
