Holiday Carol: It’s Giving Time from the Disneyland Resort

In the spirit of the holidays, and the annual tradition of the Disneyland Resort, we hope you’ll enjoy caroling about some of the ways the Disneyland Resort supported the local community in 2013 to the tune of “Silver Bells.” Happy holidays!

$17 million, in donations,
Includes tickets and cash,
Disneyland
Has a feeling
Of giving.
Playground building,
Toy bins filling,
Granting wish after wish,
And from the community you’ll hear:

Disneyland, Disneyland,
It’s giving time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, care packaging,
Soon reaching troops far away.

Funding youth grants
‘Round our city
With the Angels and Ducks,
As ACT Anaheim meets
Needs of the children.

A classroom made
With concrete laid
By 30 VoluntEARS,
And from Ecuador’s students you’ll hear:

Disneyland, Disneyland
It’s giving time in the city
Ring-a-ling, arts granting,
Soon putting on student plays.

Thirty years, helping others,
Dressed in VoluntEARS shirts,
Disneyland
Has a feeling
Of giving.

Patients listening
Mickey’s visiting,
Bringing smile after smile,
And from the community you’ll hear:

Disneyland, Disneyland,
It’s giving time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, scholarships in spring,
Soon funding their college way.

Strings of floodways
To the ocean
Collect trash and debris,
Disneyland helped launch
Adopt-A-Channel.

Watch the teams flock
To the CHOC Walk
Raising millions each year,
And from the participants you’ll hear:

Disneyland, Disneyland,
It’s giving time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, contributing,
Soon to more causes next year!
