Disney’s Ultimate Fairytale Escape Sweepstakes Raised More Than $1 Million For Make-A-Wish
For nearly 45 years, The Walt Disney Company and the Make-A-Wish Foundation have worked together to grant life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses.
As the world’s largest wish-granter, Disney uses its beloved characters, iconic parks, and powerful sports partnerships to turn dreams into reality and create unforgettable experiences for kids and their families.

Last year, the company celebrated the granting of its 170,000th wish.
In addition to granting wishes for children around the world, Disney also participates in numerous fundraising initiatives for Make-A-Wish.

These include the recent Ultimate Fairytale Escape Sweepstakes.

Last October, Disney partnered with Make-A-Wish and Dude Perfect to give one fan the ultimate Disney vacation.
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. grants wishes for 19 children fighting critical illnesses in first large-scale wish-granting event at Disneyland Resort – Blaze Your Path: A Star Wars Adventure.
The Fairytale Escape Sweepstakes was held from October 2025 through February 4, 2026.
To enter, all fans had to do was fill out an online form. To secure extra entries, however, you could make a donation to Make-A-Wish.
