Disney Brings Halloween Cheer to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital

Disney teamed up with the Starlight Children’s Foundation to bring some Halloween magic to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Mickey and Minnie Mouse made a surprise visit, dressed in festive costumes, delighting the young patients. Along with the character appearances, children received Disney Halloween costumes, books, and toys, creating a joyful escape during their hospital stays. For families like Gabby’s, who spend long periods in the hospital, these moments offer much-needed relief. “It really helps her get through the harder moments,” shared Gabby’s mom, Kelly Evans.

This visit is part of Disney’s broader Halloween initiative, delivering 20,000 costumes to 450 children’s hospitals and care centers across the country, kicking off the company’s Season of Giving. “We celebrate Halloween big in our parks, and we celebrate big with our community too,” said Tajiana Ancora-Brown, Disney’s Director of External Affairs. Beyond the fun, the event allows families to create cherished memories during stressful times, bringing a little Disney magic where it’s needed most.

These Halloween celebrations are just one way Disney continues to spread happiness and hope, offering children and their families a chance to celebrate despite the challenges they face.’
