The Vistalli family’s house stands as a beacon of festive cheer, a spectacle adorned with not just twinkling lights but a cast of Disney characters. Gary Vistalli, the creative force behind this dazzling display, takes pride in the 71 cutouts gracing their lawn, continually adding new characters to delight passersby. A devout Disney enthusiast, Gary aims to extend the magic of Disneyland to his neighborhood during the holiday season.
Yet, this isn’t merely about decorations. Their home serves as a hub for generosity, hosting a toy drive that draws crowds of contributors. Despite facing her own battle against breast cancer, Kristen Vistalli actively participates, finding strength in aiding families in need. For her, this drive fuels her determination to persevere through her treatment.
Their annual toy drive, now in its fourth year, collaborates with the Antioch Police Department, ensuring that over 100 families receive gifts, leaving a lasting, positive impact on the community. This initiative brightens Christmas for children who might otherwise receive no presents at all, highlighting the profound effect of collective goodwill.
