Disneyland and Make-A-Wish have joined forces to bring the galaxy far, far away a little closer to home by creating an unforgettable experience for 19 wish kids and their families. Dubbed the first-ever Star Wars Wish Event, this enchanting 5-day adventure promises to have left a lasting impact on everyone involved.
From the moment families stepped onto the hallowed grounds of the Disneyland Resort, they were welcomed into a tailor-made Star Wars saga. Each morning began with a themed breakfast setting the stage for a day packed with immersive activities. The young Jedi apprentices and budding Sith Lords eagerly constructed their own droids at the Droid Depot, followed by a thrilling scavenger hunt that culminated in the creation of personalized lightsabers.
Dining experiences were anything but ordinary. Kids could indulge in meals that echoed either the light or dark side, fully immersing them in the Star Wars universe. Perhaps the most spellbinding moment occurred in Batuu, where a specially staged nighttime show featured an electrifying lightsaber duel between Kylo Ren and Rey.
Disney’s collaboration with Make-A-Wish is not new; it’s a partnership grounded in nearly 45 years of making dreams come true for children with critical illnesses. From that very first wish granted at Disneyland Resort, more than 155,000 wishes have been fulfilled globally, adding priceless moments of joy and magic to countless lives.
Disney’s ongoing commitment to Make-A-Wish and the special memories created through this Star Wars event are a testament to the power of dreams and the magic of believing.
