Italian American actor Gary Sinise has brought over 1,000 children of fallen service members to Disney theme parks free of charge. The program is called the “Snowball Express” and operates through the actor’s nonprofit organization, the Gary Sinise Foundation.

While most versions of the claim name the specific theme park as Disneyland, located in Anaheim, California, the Snowball Express actually brings its participants to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, annually. Further, although minimal, participating families are responsible for some costs of travel like airport transportation and luggage fees.
