If you’re a Disney baby who lives in Florida, and wants to show off your love for Mickey and friends wherever you go, Disney has some exciting news for you!
This week, the newly redesigned Walt Disney World specialty license plate will be available in local county tax collector’s offices and license plate agencies (DMVs) throughout the sunshine state.
Previously, Disney World provided various vanity license plates for Florida residents to purchase for their vehicles. In 2020, Disney World released a special 50th anniversary-inspired vanity plate for Florida residents to purchase in 2021.
This year, Disney has announced that the new Disney World-themed license plate will come with proceeds benefiting a worthy cause.
“It’s a perfect way to add a little more pixie dust to your car while supporting a great cause,” Disney said. “It will continue to directly benefit Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida, allowing us to grant even more wishes for children facing critical illnesses and their families.”
So far, over $2 million has been raised for the Make-A-Wish chapter through license plate sales.
“Disney is our largest wish granter in the world, and they know just how important it is to create joy and hope for children and families who need it most,” said Anne Cuba, President & CEO, Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida.
“This new license plate is the latest way we are making big impacts for wish families in Florida, and I can’t wait to see it hit the roads soon as even more Florida drivers join us in making wishes come true.”
