What Is “Disney Celebrating America”?

 

“Disney Celebrating America” is a company-wide tribute to the 250th anniversary of the United States, also known as the Semiquincentennial.

At its heart, this celebration is about community, optimism, and shared dreams — values that have shaped both America and Disney’s story for over a century.

“At its heart, America’s story is one of imagination, ambition, and possibility — the same ideals that have guided Disney since the beginning,” said Robert A. Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
