Resort donates more than $12.4 million, providing support to tens
of thousands of individuals and families in Southern California

ANAHEIM, Calif. – March 19, 2009 — The Disneyland Resort has
published its 2008 Community Report, which highlights the company’s
approach to addressing crucial issues related to the environment, the
workplace, and the community – with a special emphasis on children and
families. The report details the combined outreach efforts and
contributions of the Disneyland Resort and its Cast Members, including
cash, in-kind donations and volunteer time that totaled more than
$12.4 million and touched tens of thousands of lives.

“We are a company known for creativity and innovation and we’ve
applied these concepts not only to our operations and attractions, but
also to our approach to community involvement and corporate
responsibility,” said Ed Grier, Disneyland Resort president. “We give
back in a variety of ways that benefit the environment, the community,
and our own Cast. I am particularly proud of our 20,000 dedicated and
diverse Cast Members who spent nearly 82,000 hours helping others last
year.”

Disneyland Resort’s commitment to assist those in need and to protect
the environment was evident through the company and Cast Members’
involvement. In 2008:

• Cast Members and Guests recycled more than 5,269 tons of materials.

• Blood donated at Disneyland Resort drives saved 3,306 lives.

• More than $8.6 million of in-kind merchandise and equipment donations were made to schools and community groups and diverted from landfills.

• Disneyland Resort executives served on 47 non-profit and industry boards.

• Nearly 600 children with life-threatening illnesses were granted “wishes” at
  the Disney Wish Lounge.

Since the company’s earliest days, a tradition of community service
has been integral to its culture. Walt Disney himself frequently
visited children in hospitals and guided resources toward supporting
organizations that helped children. The dedication of the new
Disneyland Resort Ambulatory Clinic lobby at Children’s Hospital of
Orange County last May exemplifies this philosophy. The new clinic,
funded in part by a $1 million donation from the Disneyland Resort in
2006, continues Walt’s legacy of generosity and helps to ensure that
children throughout Orange County will continue to receive the
critical care at first-rate facilities. Other community partnerships,
along with examples of local economic support, can be found in the
report.

Disneyland Resort is making concerted efforts to embed environmental
stewardship into the decisions and actions of its Cast Members and
Guests through its programs and policies. Teams work diligently to
identify and understand the impact that Disneyland Resort facilities,
operations and products have on the environment. The cornerstones of
the Resort’s approaches – conserving water, energy and ecosystems,
reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and inspiring others to
take action for the environment – are detailed in the report.

Cast Members’ growth and success is encouraged and supported through a
number of training and development opportunities. In addition, the
Resort offers programs that encourage a healthy and balanced lifestyle
both in the workplace and at home. The report highlights several
initiatives including the “Disney College Program” and “One Simple
Change,” demonstrating why working for the Disneyland Resort can be a
positive, life-changing experience.
