The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. From meeting their favorite celebrities to taking a dream vacation, the Make-A-Wish Foundation is dedicated to providing hope, strength, and joy to children when they need it most.

Recently, more than 80 children from all over the world got to experience the magic of Disneyland Paris for Wish Weekend. The children, who had all been granted wishes by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, were able to meet their favorite Disney characters, ride the attractions, and make unforgettable memories.


The kids participated in a special ‘pre-parade’ on April 29 that featured a visit from the three good fairies from “Sleeping Beauty,” Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother, Genie from “Aladdin” and, Mickey Mouse.

A special Marvel-themed Wish weekend occurred the week prior, with three special Make-A-Wish kids and Marvel super-fans visiting Disneyland Paris during the “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3” European Gala. The kids were the guests of honor during the event, which included a a surprise greeting with Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldaña.
