Disney Imagineers transform hospital

Post by Loomis »

I saw this story last week or so, but it seems to be doing the round again today. I thought it was quite sweet.

Disney transforms atrium at Arnold Palmer Hospital

http://www.westorangetimes.com/articles ... ness03.txt

Walt Disney World characters and ambassadors unveiled a new, medieval-themed garden atrium recently at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. The celebration took place just days before Christmas.

The project was a gift from Disney Imagineers and cast members who donated more than 3,500 hours of time and talent to transform the hospital's atrium into a storybook setting that tells the tale of a medieval fantasy garden.

More than a dozen detailed sculptures of Disney characters now welcome young patients at the hospital.

“This has been a very exciting time for us as we've watched so many talented folks from the Walt Disney Company pour their hearts and souls into this project,” said John Bozard, president of Arnold Palmer Hospital. “They did an amazing job and the atrium will help ease the concerns and fears of every child who walks through our doors.”

That's a nice thing to do. Nice to see Disney contributing to those in need as well as for themselves... Thanks for updating Loomis!
