Disney, the global entertainment giant, has unveiled its “Wish Together” campaign, a heartwarming initiative that celebrates its enduring relationship with Make-A-Wish®. This collaboration is not just about celebrating a partnership but also about making dreams come true for children battling critical illnesses.
Celebrating Wishes and Dreams
The “Wish Together” campaign is timed perfectly with the upcoming theatrical release of Disney Animation’s musical comedy, Wish slated for November 22. This film transports audiences to a magical realm where wishes become reality. In the spirit of the movie and the campaign, Disney has introduced the “Wish Together Sweepstakes.” Lucky participants stand a chance to win an enchanting family vacation for four, which includes a luxurious three-night stay at a Disney Deluxe Resort hotel and a dreamy Disney Cruise Line® voyage to The Bahamas aboard the Disney Wish.

Disney is not just offering a dream vacation; they’re making every sweepstakes entry count. For each free entry received until January 31, 2024, Disney pledges to donate $5 to Make-A-Wish. Their goal? To raise up to $1 million to transform the lives of children grappling with severe health challenges. The hashtag #WishTogether encapsulates the essence of this joint venture, urging everyone to come together for a noble cause.
Lisa Haines, Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at The Walt Disney Company, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “At Disney, we’ve always believed in the magic of making wishes come true. Our relationship with Make-A-Wish has spanned over four decades, and it’s a testament to our commitment to delivering joy to children and their families.”
Leslie Motter, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish America, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the profound impact of wishes on children and their families. She highlighted the significant role Disney plays in their mission, with one in every two wishes in the U.S. involving Disney.

Disney’s commitment to the cause doesn’t end with the sweepstakes. They’ve also launched a Wish product collection, featuring a delightful array of costumes, apparel, toys, and more. To sprinkle some more pixie dust, Disney will donate 10% of the sale price of these items to Make-A-Wish, aiming to raise another $1 million. This generous offer is valid for purchases made at US Disney stores, shopDisney.com, Disney Cruise Line® ships, and Disney-owned locations at Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort.
