Disney Week of Wishes 2025: Disney Princess Wishes Granted Around the World

[Disney4me]

Across the globe, Disney Experiences is making wishes come true in honor of World Wish Day® 2025. But these aren’t just any wishes – they’re Disney Princess wishes, where tiaras sparkle, red carpets roll out, and fairy tales are unfolding in real life for children who can use a little magic.

And this year, we’re celebrating with the first-ever Disney Week of Wishes. All week long, we’ll be sharing inspiring stories from across the company of the life-changing wishes granted by fan-favorite Disney characters and teams around the world! 

“Wish-granting is some of the most important work we do in Disney Experiences,” Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences, said. “These moments are life-changing for the kids and families. They build them up with strength and resilience, and they have a lasting impact on them – and also on us. We are so honored when kids chose Disney to grant their wish, and it’s a very special privilege to share these experiences with them and help them make joyful new memories.” 

What is World Wish Day®? 

• World Wish Day, celebrated annually on April 29, marks the anniversary of the wish that inspired the creation of Make-A-Wish® – the global organization that grants wishes to children with critical illnesses.  

• On average, a Disney wish is granted every hour of every day. For nearly 45 years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have worked together to grant over 165,000 wishes! 

• During Disney Week of Wishes, Disney and Make-A-Wish are coming together to bring happiness and joy to kids and their families worldwide. 

Here’s how Disney Week of Wishes is coming to life in our Parks and Resorts!

Three Disney Cruise Line Wishes Take Place Aboard the Disney Wish

The magic of Disney wishes extends to the high seas for three wish kids who set sail on an unforgettable voyage aboard the Disney Wish.  

• Anthony (17), a devoted Disney and cruise fan, embarked on the ultimate adventure at sea, including attending Olaf’s Royal Picnic alongside Anna and Elsa.  

• Kara (12), who for years had dreamed of going on the “big boat,” finally saw her wish come true, alongside her parents and sister, Ella, whose own wish was granted last year.   

• Delaney (15) experienced her own magical journey, making unforgettable memories as she explored the ship’s enchanted offerings and met her favorite princesses. 

Behind the Scenes: A Royal Shopping Spree & An Unforgettable Princess Party

Once Upon a Wish Party at Disney World wouldn’t be complete without a touch of Disney magic from Disney Consumer Products. From princess gowns and accessories to toys, books and more, wish kids are getting to experience it all in royal fashion. The magic continued at Disney Store Ontario Mills. Sisters Kehlani (6) and Camila (3), who are both wish kids, were welcomed by fairy godmothers at Disney Store Ontario Mills who sprinkled some extra pixie dust on their special day. Each child received a princess makeover before making their debuts as Princess Anna and Queen Elsa and running around the store to pick out dolls, plush toys, dresses and more. 

Nearly every Disney wish is made even more unforgettable with the magic of our products, allowing kids to bring a piece of the magic home with them.
