On August 3, 2025, thousands of supporters of the Children’s Hospital of Orange County will be making their way before the crack of dawn to the Disneyland Resort for the annual CHOC Walk in the Park. The CHOC Walk will see the supporters walk through Disneyland and then Disney California Adventure before the parks open. Generally, it would also be before most locations in the Downtown Disney District open. However, because of the CHOC Walk, some of these locations will be opening early, and some will also be offering discounts to walkers. Below is a look at the times that various locations will be opening on the morning of the CHOC Walk, and also the discounts that will be offered.

*Offers valid only on 8/3/2025 at participating locations in DOWNTOWN DISNEY® District for CHOC Walk in the Park participants. Must present the 2025 wristband at a participating location to receive the offer. Offer may not be combined with other offers or promotions and cannot be bought, sold, or exchanged for cash. Offers are subject to availability and change without notice. Disney is not responsible for the offer or its fulfillment.
The CHOC Walk in the Park begins at 5:30 AM with walkers making their way through both parks. In previous years, the walk has ended in Downtown Disney. Recently, they have ended in Disney California Adventure. After the walk, walkers end up in the Downtown Disney District. This makes it easy to access these locations and their offerings either way.
Participation in the CHOC Walk does not give walkers access to the parks after the walk, unless they were able to fundraise a CHOC Walk ticket by raising $375 ahead of the walk. Reservations and valid admission are required for anyone wishing to visit the parks after the CHOC Walk.
There is still time to support Team Daps Magic for this year’s CHOC Walk. If you feel so inclined, please visit chocwalk.org/dapsmagic to support. Any amount makes a difference and is greatly appreciated!
