Nominate your Magical Neighbors! They might win a trip to Disney World!

National Neighbors Day is September 28, and Disney wants to celebrate!

Disney has joined forces with the neighborhood network, Nextdoor, to create a new interactive map of the United States that shows the locations of neighborhoods across the country where acts of kindness and generosity are taking place and inspiring others to do more of the same.

But that’s not all.

Disney Magic Makers was launched so that those who are making a difference in their communities–making “Magic” for others–might be recognized and rewarded for their kindness. In honor of National Neighbor Day, Disney fans are encouraged to nominate someone they know who’s making a difference in the lives of others.

So far, Disney has received close to 30,000 nominations from states all over the country. To date, the states with the most nominations include California, Florida, New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

Map outlines of California, Florida, New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania showcase their nomination percentages—see which state leads the way as fans nominate their favorite Magical Neighbors. Florida shines brightly on the map as the home of Disney World, where every vote adds a bit more magic to this star-studded lineup.
