It’s time to celebrate! As Disneyland Resort heads into the eighth year of its community workforce development initiative, we are excited to announce over $1 million in grants going to local nonprofits and school districts.
Designed to develop and prepare the workforce in Anaheim and beyond, the community workforce development initiative empowers jobseekers and students through programming with school districts and nonprofits. In addition to financial support, Disney VoluntEARS develop meaningful relationships with the organizations, lending their time and talents toward mentorship, training workshops, skills development and more.
Since 2017, the Disneyland Resort community workforce development initiative has impacted more than 10,000 lives and provided more than $7.5 million in support for organizations to grow their workforce programming and develop new programs.
With programs like Anaheim’s Innovating Mentoring Experience (AIME) providing one-on-one mentoring for high school students to career skills development workshops with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire and more, each of these organizations provides valuable resources for jobseekers and serves a diverse set of community needs.
We’re excited to give you a sneak peek at two of the new organizations making a difference in the Anaheim community that are joining the workforce development program at Disneyland Resort:
Founded on a mission to provide warm meals, affordable housing assistance and job training to homeless and low-income families, Caterina’s Club has been an impactful force in Southern California for nearly 20 years. As the organization looks to expand workforce programming through its Hospitality Program, this support will give Anaheim high school students more opportunities to explore future careers in the hospitality and service industries.
This isn’t the first time Disneyland Resort and Caterina’s Club have teamed up: earlier this year, the resort named Caterina’s Club the celebrated charity of the 2024 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend.
Launched in 2016 with a heartfelt mission of “spreading goodness and demonstrating kindness,” Love Anaheim provides a valuable resource connecting service project opportunities with available volunteers to further important causes in the City of Anaheim. With this funding, the organization will bolster its Better Way Anaheim program, which provides skills training and services to community members experiencing homelessness, with the end goal of securing employment.
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Disney VoluntEARS, Disneyland Resort collaborated with Love Anaheim to pack care kits for the Anaheim Inclement Weather Shelter Network and on a series of park beautification projects in Anaheim.
“Following the approval of DisneylandForward, our expanding investment in the Anaheim community and dedication to workforce development remains a top priority for us. That’s why we are so proud to continue supporting schools and nonprofits that are empowering the next generation of leaders,” said Ken Potrock, president of Disneyland Resort. “The incredible work these organizations are doing to make a positive impact in our community is truly inspiring, and we are honored to support their efforts.”

Halloween at Tokyo Disneyland runs from October 1 – November 7, but The Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare overlay returned on September 19 and will run through January 13.
In the stretching room, the main portrait has been replaced with Jack Skellington in his Santa Clause costume.
On the ceiling, a giant Jack Skellington wearing a Santa Clause hat looms over taking up the entire ceiling.
As the ride begins you are greeted by Jack, Sally and the Vampire Teddy.
In the library where the busts are located is Zero decorating the Christmas Tree of books with some garland.
In the piano room, Vampire Teddy ferociously plays piano as Sally looks on.
Oogie Boogie can be seen in his spotlight in different dancing poses.
In the endless hallway, there is a pile of bones as a present for Zero wrapped in ribbon matching Jack’s normal clothes.
There is even a cameo by the iconic monster wreath with glowing eyes.
Leota remains, but Lock, Shock, and Barrel can be seen just outside the window.
In the ballroom Zero dances above while the other ghosts continue the party below. In the window behind Zero, you can see Jack handing Sally a small Christmas present.
The graveyard has been dusted in snow and taken over by the Pumpkin King. The jack-o-lanterns in the curled snow glow ominously on and off.
Opposite of the graveyard in a tree, Vampire Teddy can be seen chaotically hanging Christmas lights.
Rather than the Caretaker and his dog at the base of the descent, it is Jack and Zero. Jack is still wearing his Santa Claus costume holding a sack of toys.
Zero floats at Jack’s feet, similar to the Caretaker’s pup.
The band was still playing in the graveyard, however, they were playing music from “Nightmare Before Christmas” instead of their typical Haunted Mansion tunes.
Rather than the singing busts there were singing jack-o-lanterns.
There is also a reindeer skeleton flying just above your head, likely gearing up for Jack’s big debut as Santa Claus.
Instead of the Hitchhiking Ghosts, Lock, Shock, and Barrel are seen popping out from holiday gifts.
It only makes sense that these three would be the ghouls catching a ride out with you.
Miniature Leota has been replaced with a scene of Sally looking on as Jack flies over the moon to deliver presents as Santa Claus.
Check out our full POV of the Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare overlay from Tokyo Disneyland below.
