When the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma first visited Reece, he didn’t have to think twice about what he wanted his wish to be. His love for Mickey Mouse is what made Reece choose a trip to Disney World! Reece, a 6-year-old boy full of energy, suffers from hypo plastic left heart syndrome. Not only was Reece going on a trip of a lifetime, he was going to be flying on an airplane for the first time!
Reece and his family arrived in Florida on June 7th to begin their fun-filled adventure. They stayed at Give Kids the World Village, a non-profit resort that accommodates guests to the extreme, providing them with endless bowls of ice cream, tickets to nearby theme parks, and so much more. Reece’s favorite part about Give Kids the World was seeing all the trains on display and getting to ride the trolley train!
Reece’s wish finally came true when he got to meet Mickey and Minnie mouse.“He was smiling from ear to ear,” said Reece’s mother. Give Kids the World also provided the family with park passes to several different amusement parks in the area. Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom was Reece’s favorite roller coaster ride! He also enjoyed feeding the dolphins and petting the sting rays at Sea World.
“Reece has a fantastic time in Disney World,” said Reece’s mother. “This was an experience-of-a-lifetime for the whole family.”
