After nearly 45 years and 155,000 wishes granted for Make-A-Wish, The Walt Disney Company is still creating new and inventive ways to grant wishes to children facing critical illnesses.
Disney — the largest wish-granter globally for Make-A-Wish — is “constantly finding innovative and uniquely Disney ways to grant wishes at our parks and experiences around the world,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, and Make-A-Wish America board member, said.
Last year, Disney approached Make-A-Wish with a brand-new idea for a wish experience. “We trusted that the experience would be something these families would never forget,” Leslie Motter, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish, said. “In true Disney fashion, the experience was above and beyond our wish kids’ wildest imaginations.”
Almost a year of planning paid off when Disney welcomed 19 wish kids and their families from across the country to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in September for the first-ever multi-day Star Wars-themed Wish Event at Disneyland Resort: Blaze Your Path: A Star Wars Adventure.
