Here's what some VIPs have to say about "Walk in the Park," the largest pediatric walk in the U.S.

“The Disneyland Resort has been a proud supporter of Children’s Hospital Orange County for the past 50 years. CHOC ‘Walk in the Park’ is a very special event for our Cast Members, and we look forward to hosting it for the 13th straight year.”
- Michael Colglazier, president of the Disneyland Resort.

“It’s spectacular to see thousands of people line Main Street, U.S.A. on an early Sunday morning to take steps – literally – in support of CHOC Children’s mission and vision. Participants from diverse backgrounds, including individuals, school teams and corporations, are joined together by a common bond. It’s a unique experience – thanks so much to our dear friends at the Disneyland Resort, and the tremendous show of support of our sponsors is a tribute to our community. This year’s event is particularly special, as our hospital celebrates our 50th anniversary.” 

- Kimberly Chavalas Cripe, president and CEO, CHOC Children’s.

Taste of Downtown Disney 2014: A Delicious Recap #CHOCwalk

How often do you get to eat and drink your way through Downtown Disney with friends, while supporting an amazing cause at the same time? Last week we did just that! For the first time, we attended the 7th Annual Taste of Downtown Disney. This incredible night serves as a kick off to the CHOC Children’s Foundation’s annual fundraising drive surrounding the CHOC Walk in the Park.

We had a delightful evening savoring the flavors of the following restaurants:

Catal Restaurant and UVA Bar

Tortilla Jo's

Naples Ristorante E Pizzeria

ESPN Zone

Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen

House of Blues

Jamba Juice

La Brea Bakery

Wonderground Gallery

All guests were broken up into groups, where we each had a different route for the evening. We went from restaurant to restaurant where the drinks kept flowing, the food and appetizers were being passed  around like crazy - our kind of party! We rarely hang out in the Downtown Disney District, so this was really a unique experience. This would be the ultimate date night or girls night out, we think it's perfect for spending time catching up with family. We made a video to capture what a great event this was. If you've never been, you should definitely think about going next year. It was truly a night to remember!

More than just a fun night out on the town, proceeds benefit CHOC Children's.
