VIDEO: Disney Welcomes Wish Families Aboard the Galactic Starcruiser
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog than you’ve no doubt seen our coverage of Disney and Make-A-Wish linking up to give kids a once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Last week, Disney finally welcomed the first travelers aboard the Halcyon. The crew was also on hand to make extra magic for the Make-A-Wish kids! They had the chance to board the ship before it opened to the general public.
You can check out the footage of the experience below:
I think if there’s one takeaway from the video above, it is the importance of Make-A-Wish and the awe and wonder as the families and kids boarded the Galactic Starcruiser for the first time. It’s so moving to see their faces light up as they explore the ship. While onboard, all of the guests had the chance to great their own unique experiences on board. The choices made forge a path that has you working for either the Resistance or the First Order.
“Oftentimes, wishes play a key role in helping children build the physical and emotional strength needed to fight – and even overcome – a critical illness, and I have loved hearing from our wish families and chapters across the country as they share their Star Wars stories with us,” Make-A-Wish America president and CEO Richard K. Davis said.
Since Disney’s first collaboration with Make-A-Wish over forty years ago, more than 145,000 Disney-related wishes have been granted. This special Wish voyage was a reminder of how important it is to bring these families together to enjoy beloved characters and stories.
