When ten-year old Paige imagined her Wish, she envisioned a big boat with slides, seeing dolphins, and magical moments with Mickey Mouse and Belle. This perfect mix of adventure and fairytale charm led to one enchanting idea that would bring her to a Disney Cruise with her family! 

The stage was set for Paige to set sail on the adventure of a lifetime, but first she celebrated in style right at the Dr. J. Peter McPartlon Wishing Space. Surrounded by friends and family, she enjoyed a special Wish Celebration complete with custom cruise-themed cookies, a cozy Moana movie screening in the immersion room, and plenty of laughs. Special thanks to Wish Granters Mike, Kristle, and Courtenay for helping bring this moment to life! 

Once aboard the ship, Paige’s Wish truly began to shine. “We had a wonderful time,” her mom shared. “Paige didn’t want to leave the ship!” From their ocean-view room with a balcony, bunk beds to delicious meals, and special onboard surprises, the family was treated to comforts and perks they never expected, including an elaborate cake, made possible by icing smiles! 

One of the most heartwarming parts of the trip was the incredible support from the on board Wish Coordinator, who checked in often to ensure everything was smooth sailing. “They gave us treats each day and at the end they told me that the photo package was free,” Paige’s mom said. “It was awesome!” 

The adventure didn’t stop there. Paige had the joy of meeting Mickey Mouse and her favorite Disney princesses — including Belle from her favorite movie Beauty and the Beast — and even got to meet a dolphin, one of the most anticipated moments of her Wish, creating memories that will last a lifetime.  

Paige’s story is a beautiful reminder of how a Wish can provide not only magic and joy but also the space to simply be a kid. 

Special thanks to the vendors who helped make Paige’s celebration so special: Disney Cruise Line, Paint & Drip, Ladylily’s Place, & Pizza Hut.
