Disney’s 79th annual toy drive benefiting the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is underway for the 2026 holiday season, with online donations and collection locations at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, U.S. Disney Stores and Aulani.
Guests can donate a new, unwrapped toy during a visit, but the drop-off deadlines differ by location. Disneyland Resort collections begin Monday, November 16, 2026.
Where to donate in person
Through December 11, 2026, toy donations can be dropped off at U.S. Disney Stores, select locations at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort, and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.
At Disneyland Resort, collection boxes will be available from November 16 through December 10, 2026. Those boxes will be at select retail locations in the Downtown Disney District and in stores at all three Disneyland Resort hotels.
Bring a new toy and leave it unwrapped for the in-person drive.
Online donations through December 24
The online drive runs through December 24, 2026. Visit DisneyStore.com/ToyDrive to purchase a gift from the specially curated selection. The gift will be delivered directly to Toys for Tots.
That gives fans a way to participate without bringing a toy to a resort or store. The online donation window also continues after the in-person collections end.
A connection dating to 1947
Disney’s relationship with Toys for Tots began in 1947, when Walt Disney assigned animators to design the original train logo that the organization still uses.
Disney VoluntEARS and employees help assemble collection boxes and donate, sort and distribute toys each year. The drive is part of Disney’s 2026 “Make the Holidays Magic” campaign supporting children and families.
