Disneyland Paris Grants Its 25,000th Wish and the Story Behind It Will Melt Your Olaf-Sized Heart
Disneyland Paris is celebrating a truly magical milestone after granting its 25,000th wish for seriously ill children since the resort opened in 1992. The resort shared the touching story of Lou, a young Frozen fan whose wish experience marked the landmark moment. Through Make-A-Wish France, Lou was invited to be part of the March 28 inauguration ceremony for Disney Adventure World’s new World of Frozen, where she believed she would simply perform “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” for guests.

But Disneyland Paris had an extra sprinkle of pixie dust planned. Lou was surprised with a performance alongside her favorite singer, French musician Santa, who played live on piano, as well as the park’s high-tech walking Olaf animatronic. It turned the celebration into a storybook moment worthy of Arendelle itself, and made the 25,000th wish one to remember.
The celebration continued on March 29, when 40 Make-A-Wish families from across Europe were among the first guests to experience Adventure Way and the new World of Frozen. Disneyland Paris also shared just how far-reaching its wish-granting efforts have become, with 50 partner organizations across Europe, more than 1,000 wishes fulfilled in 2025 alone, more than 20 nationalities welcomed last year, and hundreds of VoluntEARS and cast members helping make the magic happen.

It is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most powerful attraction at a Disney park is pure heart.
