Purple Day is the largest epilepsy awareness initiative celebrated around the globe and with the World Showcase being in Epcot, it makes for the perfect place to host the event.
Even coordinators have been collaborating with The Epilepsy Association of Central Florida to create a magical day for families to gather, share stories and form lasting bonds as Walt Disney World Resort invites you to travel around the globe at Epcot World Showcase. Purple Day will kickoff with breakfast at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort and end the evening by lighting the Spaceship Earth at Epcot PURPLE!
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness.
This event will be held on March 25, 2018. You can register here if you would like to join in on the fun!
Partial day tickets are available as well as a discount for multi-day tickets. They also offer scholarship opportunities for persons with epilepsy and their families.
