Sponsorship Opportunities
Play Therapy: Disney Bound is a fully immersive continuing education conference held inside Disneyland® Resort. Now looking towards its fourth annual year, Disney Bound will gather 50+ licensed play therapists and mental health clinicians from all over the country for a week of clinical training, community, and experiential learning.
Our Spring 2027 theme - The Force at Play - explore the heroic forces in play therapy that guide toward healing, hope, and transformation. This is not a conference with a Disney trip attached. The magic is the method. Play Therapy is built on the evidence that play is how humans heal, and so immersing clinicians in this playful setting is pedagogy in action.
Our therapists are carrying some of the heaviest caseloads in the field. When you invest in the clinician, you invest in every client they will ever see. Research on therapist self-care, vicarious trauma and burnout consistently points to the same conclusion; the quality of a client’s care is directly affected by the wellbeing of their provider. Investing in therapist joy, rest, and restoration is not indulgent - it is evidence-informed. Disney Bound is where clinical rigor and genuine renewal happen simultaneously.
A portion of every sponsorship funds the Disney Bound Access Scholarship, which covers full registration for one clinician per year who could not otherwise attend. This means your investment goes directly toward expanding access to high-quality clinical training for providers who are underrepresented in professional development and overrepresented in the communities that need them most - BIPOC clinicians, LGBTQ+ providers, rural practitioners, early-career therapists, and those serving low-income populations.
Partner with us for a unique chance to promote your business to clinicians nationwide, while gifting vital training and restoration to heroic mental health professionals who dedicate their lives to supporting others.

Expectation
Every sponsor and vendor is invited to become part of the world of The Force at Play: Where Heroes Rise & Joy Lights the Way. This isn’t simply a logo-on-a-banner event. Your table, display, sponsored experience, or attendee gift should feel like part of our Disney adventure.
There’s more than one way to be a hero. Draw inspiration from the heroes, helpers, sidekicks, guides, and forces for good from across Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and popular culture.
We’ll work with you to create something playful and memorable. The sponsors who embrace the theme often become some of the most talked-about parts of the conference.

"To Infinity and Beyond was by far the best conference I have been to. It was a perfect combination of fun and educational. Making great connections, learning useful and applicable topics, and having a magical time all in one week. I can’t wait for the next Disney conference!"
—Stephanie Golden, LPC

"The conference was above and beyond anything I hoped it would be. It provided great information, practical tools, and new ways to approach therapy in magical ways, alongside getting to meet, connect, and grow with strangers that I now consider friends. I did not expect to leave Disney feeling so connected to those that I did not know before arriving. This isn’t just training, it is a full life experience."
