In an enchanting collaboration, Disneyland recently teamed up with Make-A-Wish for their first-ever Star Wars Wish Event, creating an unforgettable experience for 19 special families. Held at the iconic Disneyland Resort, this five-day event was packed with activities to immerse the children in the galaxy far, far away.
From the moment they arrived, these young Padawans and their families were treated to a Star Wars adventure like no other. Kicking off with a themed breakfast, the kids then moved on to constructing their very own droids at the depot, bringing their imaginations to life. The fun didn’t stop there; they embarked on a thrilling scavenger hunt, piecing together the components for their unique lightsabers.
Dining at the event took a creative twist. The immersive Star Wars-themed meals allowed the young heroes to choose their allegiance—light side or dark side—based on the dishes they selected. Adding to the excitement, a special nighttime show in Batuu featured Kylo Ren and Rey in an electrifying duel that lit up the night sky.
For nearly 45 years, Disney has been a beacon of hope for children facing critical illnesses, partnering with organizations like Make-A-Wish to grant over 155,000 wishes worldwide. Initiatives like this Star Wars-themed event exemplify Disney’s commitment to making magical memories for those who need it most.
