Disney World Brings Holiday Joy to Veteran Families

Disney World Brings Holiday Joy to Veteran Families

As part of Disney’s commitment to honoring military members and their families, Disney VoluntEARS continued their annual tradition of bringing holiday joy to Orlando Fisher House. These dedicated volunteers brought joy and magic to families in need during the festive season.

This tradition began in 2019 when the Disney SALUTE veteran employee resource group first delivered beautiful Walt Disney World decorations to Orlando Fisher House to bring some extra holiday joy to veterans and their families who are going through challenging times.

Orlando Fisher House stands as a beacon of hope for veteran families in need. It’s one of nearly 100 comfort homes nationwide built by Fisher House Foundation. These warm and welcoming spaces offer complimentary lodging, allowing families to stay close to their loved ones while they are receiving medical care at a nearby hospital.

For years, Disney has supported Fisher Houses across the nation through Disney VoluntEARS events like this and more. 

Disney’s tradition was made even more special this year as they joined teams from both the Fisher House and Orlando VA Medical Center to officially open a new outdoor kitchen area.

Disney was honored to provide funding to help renovate this new social grill space that will be a place where families can come together while supporting their heroes who are receiving care. Following the ceremony, expert Disney Chefs helped officially open the newly renovated outdoor patio by serving up a delicious lunch.

“It is always a magical day when Disney comes to our Fisher House to spread some Holiday cheer for our guests,” said George Denby, General Manager of Orlando Fisher House. “We are grateful for their generous donation to renovate our outdoor kitchen; this will allow our families to spend more time together and enjoy delicious meals.” 

In addition to what took place in Florida, Fisher Houses in Hawaii, Los Angeles and Long Beach will also receive some holiday décor and cheer.

Advancing the support to the military communities through Disney VoluntEARS events like this are just some of the ways Disney continues its century-long tradition of saluting U.S. military service.
