Highlights of the Magical Journey

- The joyous event took place in the midst of the ongoing global pandemic, showing Disney’s commitment to safety and happiness even in tough times.

The Realists Take
So, our darling patient, Heison, graduates from the School of Disney Dreams in the ‘Most Thematic Outfit Category’! Sporting his ‘Cars’ tee, he zooms from one ride to another, leaving no ride unconquered. He even managed to meet his lifelong mentor, Lightning McQueen himself – talk about some serious car-to-kid wisdom exchange! All this, while the world is caught up thinking if it’s safe to step outside and get the mail. But fear not, the Disneyland crew ensures everyone’s safety while ensuring all dreams come true, virus or not. Tie this in with Make-A-Wish’s magical wish-granting abilities, and we’ve got the real-life fairy godmother we never knew we needed. Or in Heison’s case, a ‘Fairy Car-Mother’.
