CHOC Walk in the Park is Back! A Magical Tradition Returns to Disneyland Resort on August 2, 2026

Calling all superheroes, community champions, and friends of CHOC! The wait is over. Mark your calendars, because on August 2nd, 2026, the magical gates of Disneyland Resort will swing open for the return of one of Orange County’s most beloved traditions: CHOC Walk in the Park! This year’s walk is set to be bigger, brighter, and more full of magic than ever before.

For over 30 years, CHOC Walk has been a powerful testament to our community’s spirit. It’s a chance for us to walk together, side-by-side with our fellow Orange Countians, celebrating the bravery of our young patients and honoring the dedicated healthcare heroes who work tirelessly at Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

What Makes the CHOC Walk So Special?

CHOC Walk isn’t just about walking. It’s about coming together as a community to celebrate the resilience of our youngest and most vulnerable members. It’s a day when the usual hustle of life stops, and we all unite with a single purpose: to support a world-class children’s hospital.

But, of course, a huge part of the magic is where we walk. There’s nothing quite like the experience of walking down Main Street, U.S.A., past Sleeping Beauty Castle, through Fantasyland, and under the monorail track just to name a few places – all before the park officially opens to the public.

This is a rare, unique, and deeply memorable experience that will stay with you and your family for years to come. CHOC Walk offers the perfect blend of family fun, community spirit, and the unparalleled enchantment that only Disneyland can provide.

A Day of Community, Connection, and Celebration

This year’s CHOC Walk in the Park promises to be an event to remember. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

• Pre-Walk Entertainment: Kick off the day with a pre-walk celebration, and special guests. Get pumped up for the main event!
