Disneyland Resort Hosts Make-A-Wish Families From Around the Country for the First Ever ‘Blaze Your Path: A Star Wars Adventure’
Disneyland marked a magical milestone earlier this week when the resort hosted 19 Wish children from around the country for the first-ever Blaze Your Path: A Star Wars Adventure.
The first multi-day Star Wars-themed event at Disneyland brought together Make-A-Wish kids and their families who had made Star Wars-themed wishes.

The adventure began in Batuu, where each child chose whether to follow the light or dark side of the Force. From there, the kids and their families got to build their own droids, go on a scavenger hunt around Batuu to assemble a lightsaber, meet surprise characters, and then participate in an immersive private dinner and dessert party in Galaxy’s Edge.
A Galactic Surprise
Before setting out, however, the children were surprised by Disney Consumer Products, who delivered Star Wars backpacks containing collectibles from a galaxy far, far away. These included LEGO sets, Funko Pops!, pins, and more.

“We’re humbled that so many children choose Disney to make their dreams come true,” said Josh D’Amaro. “We’re constantly finding innovative and uniquely Disney ways to grant wishes at our parks and experiences around the world.”
Disney Continues to Make Millions of Wishes Come True
After their Star Wars adventure, the Make-A-Wish families will spend the rest of the week at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and visit Disneyland’s parks.

“It’s a testament to the passion and commitment to the Make-A-Wish mission that Disney continues to find new and creative ways to deliver truly life-changing experiences for wish kids and their families,” said Leslie Motter, president and CEO, Make-A-Wish America. “This event gives wish kids and their families a chance to feel like a normal family again – perhaps for the first time since the start of their medical journey. The stress, fear and anxiety that come with their illness are the furthest things from their minds.”
