Disney Magic Returns to CHOC Inpatient Room Visits
- In a heartwarming display of classic Disney charm, beloved cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse have returned to the inpatient rooms of CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) for the first time since 2019.
- The dynamic rodent duo, featuring Mickey’s classic red pants and Minnie’s trademark polka dot dress, brought their unique brand of magic and cheer to the patients and their families, brightening up the hospital atmosphere in a way only Disney characters can.
- This was achieved as part of Disneyland Resort’s ongoing commitment to spread joy among its local community, particularly those battling health issues.
- The initiative is grounded in an understanding of the therapeutic benefits of happiness and light-hearted entertainment, especially in a hospital setting.
- The initiative forms part of Disneyland’s larger scheme of community engagements, highlighting their dedication not only towards entertaining guests within the park but also contributing to the wellbeing of its neighbouring communities.
The Realist’s Take
If you ever doubted Disney’s mantra of making dreams come true, just ask the kids at CHOC who got a surprise face-to-face (well, face-to-mask) visit from the world’s most famous mice. Seems like Disney isn’t just about princess crowns and overpriced turkey legs, but also about a mouse in red shorts and his polka-dot-dressed girlfriend doing good in their hood. So next time you’re grumbling about the long lines at Space Mountain, remember that Mickey and Minnie are doing double duty – spreading magic inside and outside of the Magic Kingdom. Because nothing says ‘get well soon’ quite like a mouse with oversized shoes and a squeaky voice!
