Help Turn Pixar Pal-A-Round Green for Earth Day
This week, the Disneyland Resort opened up voting for the Environmentality Art Challenge Project. For this challenge, cast members repurpose materials to create art displays. If more than 5,000 votes are cast (by guests and cast members alike), the Disneyland Resort will light up the Pixar Pal-A-Round attraction in green on Earth Day.
