Orlando, FL

It's time for a stu-u-pendous celebration, as everyone's favorite purple dinosaur arrives in Orlando as part of his 20-city BIG PURPLE BUS TOUR. Barney is hitting the road, spending time with friends across the country as he commemorates 20 years of imagining, dancing and learning.

During his stay in Orlando from February 22nd - 24th Barney will be stopping by a local children's hospital to pay a visit to some special friends, and will also drop by two local Toys"R"Us stores.

On Friday, February 22nd, Barney will visit children at the Arnold Palmer Hospital, part of the Children's Miracle Network. During this private visit Barney will take pictures with kids during some bedside meet and greets. He will also leave behind a collection of toys from his brand new toy line from Jakks Pacific, and donate a DVD library of favorite Barney titles to the hospital.

On Saturday and Sunday, February 23rd & 24th the tireless T-Rex will host a meet-and-greet birthday party at two Toys"R"Us stores. Children will have the opportunity to present Barney with a super-dee-duper birthday card that they design and create right at the Toys"R"Us store!
