It was an event 30 years in the making!
To celebrate the CHOC Walk in the Park 30th anniversary, a fundraiser party was held inside Disney California Adventure after the park closed to regular guests.
This party – titled “CHOC Adventure in the Park” was open to participants who raised $250 or more for Childrens Hospital of Orange County.
While the official party started at 9pm and went until midnight, participants could enter Disney California Adventure as early as 5pm.
There were so many fun surprises all around the park! We had several photo ops, character meet and greets, a private showing of World of Color, and all attractions were practically a walk-on!
Thanks to my media status, I was able to enter the VIP area which was set up at Lamplight Lounge. I enjoyed appetizers, desserts, a glass of wine, and a beautiful view of Pixar Pier.
The Disney Junior building was transformed into a character meet and greet area. I got to meet Mushu, Rapunzel, Naveen, and Jasmine. I introduced them all to Choco Bear, the CHOC mascot!
I also was able to chat with Thor and Black Widow over at Avengers Campus.
At the end of the night we got a rare surprise – Mickey and friends saying goodnight in their pajamas!
It has been a real honor to partner with CHOC Walk in the Park for the past few years and hopefully the early morning fundraiser walk will return in 2023!
