DISNEY INSIDER PRESENTS: FAN SPOTLIGHT
Walt Disney Meeting Walt Disney
by Penny, 59, Garden Grove, CA

I love Disneyland! In the early '60s I was visiting the Park and was one of the last people to leave. As I was walking down Main Street USA, I spotted an older gentleman walking and looking around like he was in heaven. As I got closer, to my great ... read more

It's the Most Wonderful Time -- for Toys

Once again, the holidays are upon us -- the gifts, the family gatherings, the good cheer. And once again, The Walt Disney Company is partnering with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to help make the holidays brighter for children in need. It's a partnership that goes all the way back to Toys for Tots' inception in 1947 -- Disney animators designed the charity's logo, and the very first Toys for Tots poster. And every year since, Disney donations and volunteer efforts have assisted the annual toy drive.

However, this year will see a few first-time events that are doing more than ever to make the holidays merry for Toys for Tots -- from movie stars pitching in to a special Theme Park offer unlike any you've seen before. Disneyland Resort will be offering Guests a brand-new reason to participate in the annual toy drive. Beginning Sunday, November 26, at 8 a.m., the first 7,000 people to bring a new, unwrapped toy valued at $10 or more will receive a limited-edition commemorative pin.

ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
At the end of each Pixar movie there's a credit listing Pixar babies. Are those the babies born during the making of that film?

Ask Dave Submit a Question!
DAVE'S ANSWER
I checked with Christine Freeman, the archivist at Pixar, and here is her answer: The babies listed in the credits were born to Pixar employees during the making of the current film, and after the issuing of the credits for the previous film. A baby born after the credits deadline can be eligible for the credits for the next film.
