Every Make-A-Wish experience begins with that one question - a wonderful and magical question that indulges the imagination and empowers the spirit. Wishes are limited by a child’s imagination. Generally, wishes fall into four categories:

Many children wish to visit their dream destination. Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort are the two most popular destinations. Other children have wished to go to the Oregon coast to play on the beach, to New York City to see a Broadway play, or to San Diego to see Shamu at Sea World. This is the most popular type of wish we grant.

 

Saben spent five days in sunny San Diego as he fulfilled his wish to go to Legoland California! Saben LOVES legos and that was his wish... to be in Lego Heaven.

Saben and his family were also able to visit the beautiful California Beach, the San Diego Zoo and Sea World, where he had a special lunch with Shamu.

 
Some children wish to meet someone very special – a celebrity, role model or hero. Oftentimes, these translate into wishes to meet their favorite actors and actresses, singers, or athletes. These popular celebrities are very accommodating and touched when they find out a child’s one wish is to meet them.
 
 
Some children are looking for their most prized possessions. Computers and entertainment centers are popular with teenagers. While younger children prefer play houses and swing structures.
 
 
Many wish children seek to live out their dream by becoming someone they hope to actually become as an adult. Whether it is becoming a truck driver or panda keeper, these wishes are actualized in the most realistic details and setting, so the line between fantasy and reality is magically blurred.
