California plans a Disneyland-themed license plate that could raise money for children’s hospitals statewide. Fans must help reach the preorder goal before the plate moves forward.
Disneyland fans who want to show their love for the Happiest Place on Earth will soon be able to attach a California license plate to their cars that pays tribute to the Anaheim theme park.
The California State Treasurer’s Office announced on Tuesday, May 5 plans to launch a Disneyland-themed specialized license plate that will raise money for children’s hospitals throughout the state.
The proposed Disneyland license plate will advance through the California Department of Motor Vehicles application process if 7,500 fans express interest during the preorder phase of the project.
You can join the Disneyland license plate preorder interest list at the California Treasurer website.
The design review process for the new Disneyland plate will begin once the interest threshold has been reached.
The California treasurer’s office and DMV will reveal the design and launch presale orders in the coming months.
The specialized Disneyland license plates will cost $50 for a standard plate and $103 for a personalized plate on top of the $40 to $83 annual DMV renewal fee.
Proceeds from Disneyland license plate sales will benefit the 13 children’s hospitals in California that treat kids with medical conditions like cancer, congenital heart disease and cystic fibrosis.
The Walt Disney Company donated $100 million in 2018 to support 1,700 children’s hospitals in 45 countries around the world.
The annual CHOC Walk at Disneyland raises up to $3 million each year for Children’s Hospital of Orange County and has raised more than $40 million over the past three decades.
Disneyland has had a long relationship with CHOC that dates back to before the hospital opened when Walt Disney served on the founding board and helped secure funds for construction.
Today, the hospital features Disney-designed touches that include an 18-foot-long lobby mobile and a Turtle Talk with Crush attraction similar to the show at Disney California Adventure.
