“Light Up the Season” with D23 at The Walt Disney Studios on Sunday, December 11th

D23 Members will once again be able to “Light Up the Season” at The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California on Sunday, December 11th.

What’s Happening:

  • Every December, The Walt Disney Studios gets a little more magical as the spirit of the holiday season sweeps across the Studios Lot with twinkling lights, music, and seasonal decorations for the annual holiday party for cast members and employees.
  • Continuing the tradition, The Walt Disney Company is extending the invitation to D23 Members and their guests for a special encore “Light Up the Season” evening at the fabled Studios.
  • This festive evening celebrates that special Disney time of year with wintertime activities and games, shopping, photo opportunities, and delicious treats!
  • Continuing the decades-long commitment to the Marines Toys for Tots Program, attendees are invited to donate new, unwrapped toys for kids and families in need in local communities during D23’s “Light Up the Season.” Disney’s relationship with the Marines Toys for Tots Program dates back to the program’s beginnings in 1947, when Walt Disney and his animators personally designed the original Toys for Tots train logo, which is still in use today.
