Disneyland is celebrating World Wish Day by dedicating three windows on Main Street to Make-A-Wish.
For the first time ever, Disneyland Resort dedicated its Main Street store windows to an organization, rather than a person.
Typically, individuals who have contributed to Disneyland are honored on these windows. Many well-known Disney people have windows on Main Street U.S.A., including the Sherman Brothers who wrote the music for "Mary Poppins" as well as "It's a Small World.""There's a lot of excitement behind it because it's a 40-plus year relationship. So this isn't something that happens overnight," said Disneyland Resort ambassador Mark Everett King, Jr.
One window is for Make-A-Wish, a second for Chris Greicius, whose wish inspired the creation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The third window will honor Frank "Bopsy" Salazar, whose wish to visit Disneyland was the first official wish granted by Make-A-Wish over 40 years ago.
