Operation Dreamlift helped 100 special needs and chronically ill children to experience the magic of Walt Disney World for a day.

Disney's outstanding commitment to the communities of Central Florida not only brings magic to families through the Disney Parks and Resorts but through a vast array of charitable giving programs and Disney VoluntEARS.

As "grown ups" we all know the importance of play in our lives. It rejuvenates, revives, and helps us explore worlds of wonder through creativity lifting both our minds and spirits. For those of us who frequent this site, we know that Disney is a leader in allowing adults and children to spend time playing in incredible environments.

There is an incredibly positive initiative that Walt Disney World has been undertaking, quietly for the most part, for the more than twenty years. Its goal doesn’t include public exposure of itself, though raising awareness about its message is a must, and it goes about its business day-in and day-out in as subtle a way as it can muster. Today, I want to shine the spotlight on Disney Harvest.

A look at the annual production put on by groups of Cast Members from throughout the Disneyland Resort to raise money for the benefit of local charities.
