Wish Families Transported to a Galaxy Far, Far Away
The planet of Batuu is expecting some very special visitors that will be welcomed to Black Spire Outpost in Galaxy’s Edge. More than 140 Wish families will have the opportunity to explore Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios during special community previews of the new land happening throughout the week.
These families are staying nearby at the Give Kids The World Village. Give Kids The World Village is an 84-acre, nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families.
The Village and its community partners provide children and their families accommodations in fully-furnished villas, transportation, tickets to theme parks, meals, daily entertainment and much more.
Disney has supported the nonprofit resort since it opened its doors back in 1986, and we are honored to be a place where so many of these children’s wishes come true. In fact, more than 8,000 Disney-themed wishes are granted each year at Walt Disney World Resort, continuing our legacy as the top-requested Wish destination among children and their families.
“One moment of magic can make a world of a difference for Wish children and their families,” said Tajiana Ancora-Brown, director of external affairs for Walt Disney World Resort. “We are honored to help these families create treasured, lifelong memories, especially in a land like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where they can become the heroes of their own Star Wars stories.”
The exciting news was shared with families during a celebration at Give Kids the World Village, where they were given the perfect accessories to prepare for their journey to Batuu. With an entire galaxy full of adventure at their fingertips, these special previews will create lasting memories for Wish families visiting Walt Disney World Resort.
These special visits to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continue a series of community previews to the new land, which began when more than 1,000 students from Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida visited for their own imaginative and memory-building experience.
