Disneyland Resort welcomed 5-year-old Make-A-Wish kid Lilo and her family before Disneyland Park opened for a Cinderella-themed wish moment during Disney Week of Wishes.
The visit gave Lilo a private Main Street, U.S.A. arrival, a Fairy Godmother surprise, and her own experience with Cinderella after a princess makeover.
The wish
Lilo wished to meet Princess Cinderella at Disneyland Resort, according to Disney Parks Blog. Her family first connected with Disney during a holiday party at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, where Disney hosted a Stitch character visit and a Zootopia 2 movie screening.
When Lilo arrived at Disneyland Park, 158 Disneyland Resort cast members lined Main Street, U.S.A. before park opening to welcome her family.
The Cinderella moment
Fairy Godmother made a surprise appearance in Cinderella’s royal coach and helped Lilo into the coach for an early morning story time.
Lilo later visited Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for hair, makeup, and a Cinderella dress before meeting Cinderella herself.
Disney Week of Wishes
The Disneyland visit is part of Disney Week of Wishes, a companywide celebration of Disney’s work with Make-A-Wish.
Disney says a Disney wish is granted every hour of every day. Since the first official wish was granted at Disneyland 45 years ago, Disney has worked with Make-A-Wish to grant more than 175,000 wishes around the world.
