One special thing Disney did is release a heart-warming short called “From Our Family to Yours” commemorating their partnership with Make-A-Wish with a story inspired by family togetherness and nostalgia. Disney later announced that they would be releasing an adorable key inspired by that short, and now, the “From Our Family to Yours” Collectible Key is FINALLY HERE!
