Six-year-old Make-A-Wish guest Wednesday got to help Jack Skellington and Sally finish the holiday makeover of their Magic Kingdom meet-and-greet, moving their corner of Halloween Town into Christmas Town for the season. Walt Disney World shared the story Nov. 6 on the Disney Parks Blog.
Her wish was to help Walt Disney World move from Halloween to Christmas. Disney worked with Make-A-Wish to make it happen, and her sisters came along for the visit.
Hide And Go Shriek, Then “What’s This?”
Jack started things off with rounds of “Hide and Go Shriek” around the meet. When the girls noticed Zero was missing, a scavenger hunt for Jack’s ghost dog turned into a family affair.
Sally shared her favorite song to perform, “Silent Fright,” though her version was mostly dramatic poses. Wednesday answered with “What’s This?” from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the girls took turns with cartwheels and dance parties while their biggest fans cheered for an encore.
A Snowflake That Stays On The Tree
Wednesday received a custom snowflake ornament inspired by the first flake Jack finds when he stumbles into Christmas Town. She hung it on Jack’s Christmas tree, where guests can see it all season, and a matching ornament was waiting under the tree for her to take home.
Her mom, Kelly, told Disney she always thinks about the better times when things get hard. “But this is one memory that will always stick out,” she said. “It’s the beginning of the rest of our lives.”
Disney And Make-A-Wish
Disney says it is the world’s largest wish granter for Make-A-Wish, with a Disney wish granted every hour of every day. Disney Parks also pointed fans to Disney.com/HolidayMagic for ways to help make the holidays brighter for more kids and families.
More Holiday Magic Around Walt Disney World
The season is already well under way across the resort. Magic Kingdom’s Dapper Dans are keeping one of its longest-running traditions alive, and a Disney Unscripted look shows how 20 Walt Disney World Christmas trees go up in one night. Over at Hollywood Studios, a new holiday exhibit looks back at the resort’s Christmas past.
The meet-and-greet is part of a Magic Kingdom already in its holiday look. Main Street’s Christmas decorations went up this week, with the holiday music playing. For Wednesday and her family, the season now has a landmark of its own: the snowflake ornament she hung on Jack’s tree, where guests can see it all season.
