Orlando International Airport (MCO) celebrated the milestone arrival on their official Instagram account (FlyMCO), welcoming the “Wish Flight” with a special message: “Welcome to Orlando, Wish Flight!✨ In celebration of World Wish Month, our friends @makeawishamerica, in partnership with @americanair and Disney, have granted the wishes of 28 children and their families to visit @waltdisneyworld! It was a pleasure to celebrate their arrival on a one-of-a-kind, chartered flight from DFW. Wishing everyone an incredible experience and the most magical time.”

American Airlines played a crucial role by generously donating a chartered aircraft and contributing to the overall travel experience.
