Disney Makes Wishes Come True At Their ‘Once Upon A Wish Party’
Walt Disney World was already perhaps the most magical place in the world, but for one special night, the resort somehow got even more enchanting when Disney World held the Once Upon A Wish Party.
The soiree brought together 50 remarkable wish kids and their families for a night of celebration and meet and greets with many of the Disney Princesses.
A Magical Night
The celebration proclaimed wish kids as royalty for the day. It also allowed them to meet over 30 Disney princesses and characters. Additionally, there was a tea party in Wonderland and a royal ball.
“Granting wishes is some of the most important work that we do at Disney,” Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said. “We’re humbled that so many wish kids choose Disney—it’s an honor, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. It tells us what our brand and the Disney experience mean to people.”
The event was extra special for Mikayla, whose wish was the 150,000 granted by Disney. The 17-year-old from Palm Beach Gardens who started her battle with cancer three years ago wished to perform at Disney. She did so in royal style, singing a collection of Disney classics, including “Beauty and the Beast” alongside Belle and The Beast.
Disney and Make-A-Wish Are A Perfect Pair
Over the years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have proven to be a match made in heaven. Disney has been the largest wish granter in the world for Make-A-Wish, with one out of every two wishes granted in the United States being a Disney Wish.
“As the number one wish granter for our organization, Disney is helping deliver joy when it’s needed most,” said Leslie Motter, Make-A-Wish America’s President and CEO.
“Through their stories and characters, Disney is creating unforgettable wish-granting experiences. Like Once Upon A Wish Party that allows families the space to create happy new memories together that I know will last a lifetime,” Motter said.
