Imagine a place where living life is a pure fantasy, where running into a life-sized version of your favorite cartoon character and having your picture taken in front of a real palace is possible; where Walt Disney’s vision of a place where kids can truly be kids has come to fruition. All this and more was a dream-come-true for a three year old named Sarah. After arriving in Florida, Sarah and her family were greeted by a huge sign held by a representative of Give Kids the World.

Following the warm welcome, Sarah and her family made their way to the hotel and rested for the fun-filled week ahead. The next day, Sarah spent the afternoon at Give Kids the World; relishing in the free amenities which included swimming pools, activity centers, restaurants and of course and ice cream and snack shop; every kid’s dream!

After receiving all the necessary materials they needed to thoroughly enjoy themselves while at Disney World, Sarah was accompanied by her family to the Magic Kingdom where Cinderella’s Castle came into plain view and where Fantasy Land was just a few feet away. Going on rides such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh really brought the experience to life for Sarah.

Sarah was herself a princess; skipping lines for rides and receiving the utmost royal treatment. Sarah’s week encompassed everything from meeting some of her favorite Disney characters such as Mickey, to taking part in the Little Mermaid show at the former Disney’s MGM studios to emulating her role model…Cinderella!

Sarah’s parents state, “The wish was SO incredible. Sarah loved it more than anything I could have imagined. Just watching her face light up when she met the princesses or the characters was priceless.”
