The Walt Disney Company has proudly supported the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots Program for over 70 years, dating back to 1947 when Walt Disney and his animators designed the original Toys for Tots train logo that is still used today. Disney is pleased to continue this tradition with the World’s Ultimate Toy Drive.
