Belle is Everleigh’s favorite Princess and when thinking about her wish, the only thing she wanted to do was meet Princess Belle. Disney’s Once Upon A Party was taking place during Everleigh’s planned trip and her mom said, it was clear this aligned with her wish!
"We had a designated volunteer to guide us through the Royal Ball, she was wonderful! She walked us into the venue and showed us to our table. The presentation was incredible, the food was delectable, and the magic was undeniable! We spent precious time with each princess & prince, each one so intentionally conversing with Evie. We danced and mingled with other Disney characters in between meeting the princesses. The night held special moments for everyone, including a “daddy-daughter” dance that ended with Evie receiving a rose and the crowning ceremony where the mothers crowned the princesses for the coronation! It’s impossible to pick just one favorite part, the entirety of the experience was amazing!”

The greatest impact of the wish was for Evie to have a chance to fly on an airplane without it leading to surgery. Since our surgeries are done in Philadelphia about once a year, she has only ever associated airplanes with surgery. But this was different. She was able to enjoy every part of the trip without the anxiety of what will happen next.
