樂園今年邁向十周年，希望繼往開來，與年輕人結伴成長，鼓勵他們發揮創意及展現才能。樂園將首度與香港設計中心合作，支持和推行一項啟發年輕人才能及把創意融入社區的計劃－「快樂D計劃」。由本地知名設計師、建築師及迪士尼幻想工程師帶領，啟發「迪士尼幻想工程香港挑戰賽」得獎學生發揮創意，把構思以藝術方式落實，將歡樂及創意帶到全港，與眾同樂。
As HKDL heralds its 10th anniversary in 2015, the resort hopes to continue to grow with the younger generation whilst encouraging them to be creative and demonstrate their talents. To achieve this, HKDL will launch a brand new program with the Hong Kong Design Centre called Happy “D” Project. This community outreach program aims to bring happiness and inspire people with creativity through community art. The program will pair the winning students from the ImagiNations Design Competition with Imagineers from HKDL and top-notch local masters of design from various disciplines, including architecture, product design and communications. The students will be inspired by their mentors to design art pieces in any form to bring happiness to the community.

香港迪士尼樂園度假區行政總裁金民豪表示：「在這個中國傳統喜慶節日，我們及一眾演藝人員非常高興，可以與賓客及全港巿民一同福氣盛放，為新一年注入正能量。作為本港最主要的演藝娛樂事業僱主之一，樂園重視培育年輕人，鼓勵他們發揮創意，盡顯才能。」
Andrew Kam said, “We are very pleased to continue bringing happiness to our guests here at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort during this traditional Chinese New Year festival. As one of Hong Kong’s largest employers in the entertainment industry, HKDL is committed to nurturing the younger generation by inspiring their creativity so that they can demonstrate their talents.”
樂園度假區行政總裁金民豪表示，香港迪士尼樂園今年將再次與香港青年協會合作推出「Disney Friends for Change 青年資助計劃」。去年資助計劃延伸對社區活動的支持，鼓勵參與的學生設計及推行了80項的社區服務計劃，為社區及有需要人士注入生氣。
He said HKDL will continue to join hands with the Federation of Youth Groups to support the “Disney Friends for Change” program this year. Using grants from HKDL, they successfully designed and initiated 80 programs in 2014 that have brought positive energy to those who are in need in society.
去年參與該計劃的鄭穎欣，在香港演藝學院主修中國舞及舞蹈教育，在去年年中，成功獲得樂園資助後，利用本身專長，在社區多次免費教授低收入家庭小朋友跳舞。她表示：「一直希望可以善用個人才能，將自己所學的技術和興趣，與有需要人士分享。透過樂園的資助，令我可以夢想成真，與一班志同道合的年青人組成義工隊，為區內有需要人士服務。」
Ceci Cheng, a student at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts majoring in Chinese Dance, received a “Disney Friends for Change” grant in mid-2014. As a talented dancer, Cheng has arranged free lessons for young children from low-income families. She said, “I’ve always wanted to make good use of my talents and share my skills and interests to those in need. The grant from HKDL made my dream come true, and I have used it to build a volunteer team with friends to serve the community.”
同時，樂園會繼續投放資源，與多間本地大專院校合作，為本地學生設立多個獎學金，鼓勵及培育富潛質的年輕人。由2007年推出至今，已有逾370名學生受惠，總資助金額達480萬元港元。
In addition, HKDL will continue to launch various scholarships with different local institutions to nurture young talents. Since 2007, over 370 students have benefited from HKDL’s scholarships, which have totaled to more than HK$4,800,000.
