Donate to a Special Cause!
Disney Springs is a great place to get the holiday shopping done! It is also a drop off location for a very special organization. While looking for the perfect gifts, consider making a donation during the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive.
The Walt Disney Company has supported the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation for over 70 years and kicked off this year with $500,000 donation! If you want to participate in the drive, simple drop off a new, unwrapped toy at World of Disney, Marketplace Co-Op, Star Wars Galactic Outpost, or the Disney Springs Welcome Center.
