On July 16th, children at the Children’s Hospital and the pediatric department of Toulouse University Hospital received a very special visit from Mickey and Minnie. Alongside the Disney VoluntEARS, they filled the day with joy.
After meeting the Disney Characters, the children were invited to take part in a variety of creative workshops, including decorating water bottles, painting, making personalized bracelets and creating badges, allowing them to carry a little Disney magic with them wherever they go.
Thanks to this visit, the children, their families and the hospital staff were able to enjoy a special, timeless moment with Mickey and Minnie.
Positive experiences play an essential role in children’s care journeys. They bring hope, joy and the strength needed to better cope with the challenges of illness. With this in mind, Disneyland Paris works with hundreds of hospitals across France to offer thousands of young patients moments of escape and magic.
Since 1991, with the support of the Disney VoluntEARS, the company has organised more than 40,000 visits for hospitalised children across nearly 500 healthcare facilities in France and Europe, helping to brighten their daily lives despite the challenges of illness.
