ORLANDO, Fla. - Registered Florida car owners who love Disney World have a chance to be a part of history and help critically ill children at the same time.

A specialty Walt Disney World Resort license plate is being released to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Proceeds of the license plate will go to Make-A-Wish of Central and Northern Florida.

"Disney has a longstanding relationship with Make-A-Wish, dating back to 1980, and since then, more than 140,000 Disney-inspired wishes have been granted, with more than 8,000 taking place each year at Walt Disney World Resort," according to Disney Parks Blog.
