Disney Celebrates World Wish Day With PhotoPass, Theme Park Events and More!
If you’re lucky enough to be at the Magic Kingdom today then you can celebrate a momentous occasion! Today is World Wish Day, a celebration of the incredible work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Disney began its commitment to making wishes come true for wish kids and their families 42 years ago. On this day, Disney celebrates all of the wish kids that they’ve formed connections with over the years including those that have gone on to become Disney Cast Members!
If you’re at the parks today, then snap a photo with a brand new Disney PhotoPass lens to commemorate the occasion. It’s available now on the My Disney Experience and Disneyland Apps. You can check out the World Wish Day lens below:

In addition, Disney typically invites alumni to serve as Grand Marshals during the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom Park. You can check out a video of the World Wish Day parade experience from 2022 below:
During Disney’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, the company also paid the celebration forward with a special license plate created by Disney World to benefit Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida. Through this endeavor, Disney was able to raise over $1.5 hal million dollars in contributions.
Since 1980, Disney has helped bring wish families together to enjoy experiences that inspire hope and resilience through a partnership with Make-A-Wish. This has included exclusive events like the inaugural wish voyage aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Over the years, Disney has granted more than 145,000 Disney wishes globally.
