Porter wished to go to Disney World!
He specifically was so excited to meet Peter Pan. We let Peter Pan case members' know when we got there. When Peter Pan came out it was so magical. He called Porter by name and brought out a special 'leaf' that had signatures from all of his friends. Peter was so kind and patient with Porter. He engaged Porter as they talked about where they wanted to go to visit in Neverland together. Just this interaction was indescrible in the magic it possessed.
After Porter met Peter Pan, we rode the Peter Pan ride which Porter loved. As we excited the ride, a cast member was waiting for Porter with a hat from Peter Pan and Minnie Mouse ears for Porter's sisters. All of us around eyes were wet with tears. It was a such a magical moment that would have never been made possible without Make A Wish. I have absolutely no doubt no one in our family will forget meeting Peter Pan.
Make A Wish gifted us dinner also with Marvel Characters. These characters were so kind and so sweet to Porter. Engaging him and the joy they brought was again indescrible. The time at that meal will be a story that all of my kids will remember.
It was so fun to spend the days counting down together and dreaming of what was to come. All five of our kids watched videos on different rides and learned all about Disney and Universal. I'm not sure we have ever had anything else in our family unite our family so much as just the excitement of preparation of Porter's trip.
