Disney donates coins from Wishing Wells to local charity

Walt Disney World Resort Guests Turn Wishing Well Coins into Support for Teens in Need

Some $20,000 in coins that tourists tossed into Walt Disney World’s wishing wells and fountains became a Thanksgiving gift for Central Florida’s largest homeless shelter.

Allison Krall is the CEO of the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. She says she’s thankful, especially with everything Disney has gone through during the coronavirus pandemic.

The company also contributed Thanksgiving meals for the charity’s residents. Disney’s chefs cooked up a Thanksgiving feast for 650 coalition residents and other homeless guests.
