Overview
- Disney launched its annual Week of Wishes, a global push with Make-A-Wish that coordinates nearly 200 tailored experiences across parks, studios, and media.
- Cast members and employees assembled more than 10,000 wish kits nationwide to mark the moment families learn a wish is coming, with travel tags, memory books, and keepsakes included.
- Walt Disney World rededicated a newly reimagined Wish Lounge at Magic Kingdom on Monday, offering Make-A-Wish families a quiet space to rest with new artwork inspired by Disney wish stories.
- Program highlights this week include a first-of-its-kind Avengers day at Disneyland Resort for nearly 40 families with appearances by Anthony Mackie and Paul Bettany.
- The campaign builds on more than 175,000 wishes granted over 45 years, and Disney will honor Bob Iger with the inaugural WishMaker Lifetime Achievement Award for 110,000-plus wishes during his leadership.
