Wish Types

At When You Wish Upon a Star, we believe every child deserves something special to look forward to. Whether it's meeting a hero, experiencing an unforgettable adventure, or enjoying precious time together as a family, we're here to help make magical wishes come true.

All wishes fall into one of the categories below.<

To Do

Does your child have a dream experience they've always wanted to enjoy? A "To Do" wish is all about making that dream a reality. From exciting adventures and VIP experiences to special events and once in a lifetime opportunity, these wishes are designed to create magical moments and memories that will last forever.

To Meet

Many children have a hero, role model, or someone they have always dreamed of meeting. A "To Meet" wish gives them the opportunity to meet a favourite celebrity, athlete, performer, creator, or inspirational figure. These wishes focus on creating unforgettable moments of connection, joy, and excitement.

To Travel

For some children, their greatest wish is to visit somewhere special. A "To Travel" wish can provide a memorable UK break or overseas adventure, giving the child and their loved ones the chance to spend quality time together, make treasured memories, and enjoy a well-deserved escape from the challenges they face.

Disneyland Paris

A wish to visit Disneyland Paris offers families the chance to experience the magic of Disney together. From meeting beloved characters and enjoying spectacular attractions to creating unforgettable family memories, these wishes provide children with a truly enchanting experience filled with wonder and excitement.

Walt Disney World, Florida

For many children, a wish to visit Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is the ultimate dream come true. From magical theme parks and world-class attractions to unforgettable Disney experiences, these wishes create precious memories for the whole family and offer a truly once in a lifetime adventure.
