KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Dreams are coming true for 27 Make-A-Wish Foundation "wish kids." For the first time, the children and their families boarded "The Best Flight Ever" to fly on a one-of-a-kind, chartered plane from New York to Orlando to fulfill their wishes to go to Walt Disney World Resort.
Make-A-Wish, American Airlines, The Walt Disney Company, and The Points Guy came together to grant the wishes of children battling critical illnesses.
"The Best Flight Ever" had interactive games, a special snack menu, surprise moments, and live entertainment including Genie from Aladdin on Broadway. One of the kids on board was Elias, he has a very rare genetic disorder. His father, Alexander, said doctors didn't believe Elias would make it past three days, and has since had 16 heart surgeries.
