How to celebrate Family Volunteer Day at Disneyland, Disney World
Disneyland and Walt Disney World will be celebrating Family Volunteer Day on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, and are inviting guests to join.
Family Volunteer Day is a global day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support their communities.
At the Walt Disney World Resort, the day will kick off at 10:30 a.m at the Disney Springs Marketplace stage. Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, Bob Chapek, will be joined by Mickey Mouse and friends to celebrate the Aguirre family from Texas, who were recently named the first-ever Disney and Points of Light Volunteer Family of the Year, following a nationwide search and vote on ABC’s “Good Morning America”.
After the celebration, guests can head over to a nearby “Volunteer Village” between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to take part in volunteer activities that support local nonprofits. Volunteers can help Clean the World, write postcards for Operation Uplift, and participate in a nature activity with the Disney Conservation Fund.
While at “Volunteer Village” guests can also help build a giant mystery-themed Lego mural that will be donated to Clean the World. Anyone who participates will be eligible to receive exclusive offers at select Disney Springs retail and dining locations valid that day.
Disney will also donate $1 for every purchase transaction at Once Upon a Toy and Goofy’s Candy Company at Disney Springs on Nov. 23 to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
At the Disneyland Resort, visiting guests can stop by Disney California Adventure park between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. PT to create keepsake badges for Inside the Outdoors teachers and students. Anaheim City visitors or residents can also join Disney VoluntEARS between noon and 2 p.m. PT at Farmers Park to pack comfort kits for Mercy House, or at Eucalyptus Park to pack kits for Chrysalis.
