Today is World Health Day and in the midst of a global pandemic, it’s more important than ever to honor the healthcare workers that are working around the clock to ensure the safety of people around the world. The Disney Parks celebrated World Health Day with castle projections and more in their theme parks around the world. Here’s a look!
