Contact: Michelle Bergman 818-560-8231 Disney Recognizes VoluntEARS of the Year Cast Member Mike Woodhall Receives the First-ever “Show Your Character” Award for Outstanding Volunteerism and Creation of “Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT” BURBANK, Calif (May 7, 2003) – In honor of National Volunteer Month, Disney recognized its most outstanding VoluntEARS’ commitments to outreach and participation in community events. Since its inception in 1992, the Disney VoluntEARS program, which develops opportunities for Disney employees to contribute their time, expertise and effort to make a positive impact on the community, has served more than 200 cities, 47 states, and 24 countries on six continents. “We are proud to acknowledge and celebrate our employees who give so much of their time and effort in their communities and who embody Disney’s commitment to enable and encourage people to get involved as volunteers,” said Michael D. Eisner, chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. This year, Disney awarded the first-ever “Show Your Character” award to Disneyland Resort’s Mike Woodhall for his outstanding volunteerism and support of military personnel through his creation of Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT, a program through which employees send messages of support and thanks to U.S. servicemen and women. Disney’s OPERATION UPLIFT was started in 1995, following its successful trial during Operation Desert Storm. During that conflict, Mr. Woodhall read a letter in the newspaper from a serviceman who said that the troops didn’t get much mail, but when they did they knew people back at home cared. That struck a chord with Mr. Woodhall and he began writing to the troops to thank them for their efforts and to let them know people at home did indeed care about them. -

Winter 2015 • Volume24 • Number4
Winter 2015 • Volume24 • Number4 If Disney Files Magazine was a grocery store tabloid, the headline on this edition’s cover may read: Giant Reptile to Terrorize China! Of course, we’d never resort to such sensationalism, even if we are ridiculously excited about the imposing star of the Roaring Rapids attraction in the works for Shanghai Disneyland (pages 3-8). We take ourselves far too seriously for such nonsense. Wait a minute. What am I saying? This isn’t exactly a medical journal, and anyone who’s ever read the fine print at the bottom of this page knows that, if there’s one thing we embrace in theDisney Files newsroom, it’s nonsense! So at the risk of ending our pursuit of a Pulitzer (close as we were), I introduce this issue with a series of headlines crafted with all the journalistic integrity of rags reporting the births of alien babies, celebrity babies…and alien-celebrity babies. Who wore it best? Disney’s Beach Club Villas vs. the Brady family! (Page 13) Evil empire mounting Disney Parks takeover! (Pages 19-20) Prince Harry sending soldiers into Walt Disney World battle! (Page 21) An Affleck faces peril at sea! (Page 24) Mickey sells Pluto on the street! (Page 27) Underage driver goes for joy ride…doesn’t wear seatbelt! (Page 30) Somewhere in Oregon, my journalism professors weep. All of us at Disney Vacation Club wish you a happy holiday season and a “sensational” new year.
