The magic begins at sunrise that day. At the hangar, volunteers have been working for hours to prepare the children's welcome. And what a welcome awaits them! As the children arrive, a send-off party begins under two giant planes. Celebrities, musicians, dancers, and costumed characters mingle with the delighted kids.

Prepare to board

The volunteers work feverishly to greet the now wide-eyed children and ensure trip organizers have all required details about any special needs the children may have. After a fun and celebratory morning show, it's time to takeoff!

Off to Disney

The flight goes by quickly, with entertainment from the flight crew and a healthy breakfast. After the plane touches down, it's time to get on the waiting buses and drive the short distance to Disney.

The Magic Kingdom

In the Magic Kingdom, the groups head off in search of fun. And what a euphoric day for everyone! There's a new thrill around every corner, with exciting rides, breathtaking shows, all their favourite Disney characters, yummy treats and plenty of new friends.

Homeward bound

Nothing finishes off a magical day better than fireworks — and Disney knows how to light up the sky! Afterwards, the tired but happy group makes their way back to the airport. Once back on the plane, most of the children are soon fast asleep, dreaming of their adventure with Mickey, Donald Duck and company. The plane ride home goes by in a flash — or a snooze — and they're back in Toronto.

Another magical journey comes to a close for Dreams Take Flight!
