Many of the wishes Kids Wish Network grants are wishes to go to Disney World. I recently returned from a trip to Disney World, and I had a wonderful time. Walking into Disney, I instantly felt like a little kid again. I can imagine now what a great time our wish kids and their families must have, getting to visit this magical place!

Talk about a wish sponsor going above and beyond!!!! Aidan’s wish to go to Disney World was sponsored entirely by the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 83 in Kansas. I received a message from firefighter Aaron that we should expect to receive a special gift to send to Aidan. This was certainly an understatement. What we received was the most beautiful hand-painted fire helmet personalized with Aidan’s name. I wish I could be there to see Aidan’s face when he receives this most thoughtful gift from the firefighters in Kansas.

Caitlyn couldn’t wait for her fantasy to become reality.  While Caitlyn and her family chose to drive to Disney World for her wish, they first they stopped at Cocoa Beach where Caitlyn experienced the ocean for the first time. They relaxed for a bit and Caitlyn was so excited to dip her feet in the water.

Continuing on their journey, she and her family visited many of the Disney World theme parks.  She also met and received many autographs from different Disney Characters.  Furthermore, Caitlyn received her ultimate makeover at her favorite place, the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique in Disney World.    They made her into the princess that she is!
