When Patsy and her family arrived in Orlando, they joined the other kids and families who participated in WishFlight. Together they stay at Give Kids The World^® Village in Kissimmee, Fla., and play to their hearts’ content at Walt Disney World.

Thanks to Disney’s support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, wish families enjoy tickets to Walt Disney World, special visits from Disney characters and many other magical surprises.

The Something mAAgic Foundation worked year-round to raise more than $46,000 to fund WishFlight and the accompanying festivities. It has raised $500,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation during the past 10 years.
