Ketrin, Dorina, Dávid, and Tamás had been eagerly awaiting this Disneyland Paris adventure. Our journey was filled with touching, emotional moments.

It began with the warm, friendly welcome from Wizz Air at the airport. Ketrin’s worries and fears—not only about flying but also about the strange-looking device that lifted both wheelchairs up to the boarding level of the aircraft—quickly faded thanks to the encouragement of the Wizz Air staff. Onboard, in addition to a kind welcome, the children received special attention. Later, they were even invited into the cockpit and continued their exciting journey as happy recipients of gift packages.

Upon arriving at the elegant Disneyland hotel, another surprise awaited the children’s team: a new package filled with games and treasures. At the reception, we were met by Francesco, a French-speaking Italian volunteer, who became our friendly, resourceful, and highly attentive guide for the afternoon exploration. He expertly helped us reach the various attractions and shows on time, and we greatly appreciated his local knowledge and willingness to assist.

The Pixar film Together, accompanied by a live orchestra, the personal encounters with costumed characters, and the open-air and indoor adventures set in various magical worlds—by rail, roller, water, or air—all offered unforgettable experiences for both children and parents. It’s true that the more thrilling adventures evoked mixed feelings among our more daring team members (like the free-falling elevator in the Tower of Terror).

By the evening of the first day, the group was so tired that we postponed the fireworks until the following day. We later regretted this decision, as the Easter weekend crowds grew even larger by then. Still, we watched in awe as the fireworks were enhanced by a dazzling light show, dancing drones, and a beautiful musical soundtrack.

Fortunately, with the Wish card, we received priority access and special attention everywhere, though even with this, navigating the crowds in a wheelchair was not easy. On the second day, the large group split into smaller ones—the boys ventured into the bolder, more action-packed "territories." The spectacular parade of storybook characters brought tremendous joy and excitement to the children. Magnificent floats and costumes passed by, and everyone watched in wonder. During our walk through the park, we witnessed several touching moments when passing characters gave special attention to the girls in wheelchairs—with warm smiles, kind words, hugs, high-fives, and of course, the obligatory group photos.

On the final day, our time was limited due to our return flight, but we still made room in the schedule to relive our rat’s-eye-view dash with Rémy through the thrilling dangers of the Ratatouille ride—amid giant feet and towering kitchen equipment.

By the end of the trip, the children were filled with a thousand new experiences and were thoroughly exhausted—not surprising, considering the enormous “MAGIC package” they received in just a few days.

On behalf of Tamás, we would like to thank Wizz Air Hungary Ltd, Disneyland Paris, Jet Travel, Henkel Magyarország Kft., the team of 'Csudapest' community server and Paplovagnak, and our private supporters, among them Tímea for making Tamás’ dream come true.

Gergő knows everything about airplanes. In his free time, he explores various airports using 3D simulations, and he dreamed of flying on a “real, big” passenger aircraft – to anywhere. Since his brother Benedek’s wish was connected to the Vatican, it was only natural that the two brothers would travel to Rome together.

Gergő was fascinated even by the airport security check, and while waiting to boarding, he constantly watched the planes on the runways. The special wheelchair boarding was also very exciting, but no sooner had we taken a seat on the -at that time- empty plane than the captain came to greet the boys! He had a great conversation with Gergő about different airplanes, discussed the type of aircraft we were flying on, and what to expect.

Soon, Gergő was truly above the clouds, observing everything from his window seat. At the end of the hour-and-a-half flight, he praised the landing, and during disembarkation, he even got a peek into the cockpit, which brought him great joy.

On his way out, he was amazed at the size of the airport in Rome and the planes lined up there. He enjoyed the few days of vacation in Rome, but perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that he was looking forward to the return trip – another chance to fly.

We thank our supporters – Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., Forbes Hungary, Feldobox - FDB Kft., Veszprém – Balaton Christian Culture Foundation, Mr. Péter Rudolf, the director of Vígszínház and the management of the theatre, as well as the audience of the performance, for making Gergő's dream come true.

Benedek has been serving as an altar boy since the age of seven. His father even built a small chapel for him in their yard, which he furnished beautifully. Benedek wants to become a priest, so it’s no surprise that he wished to meet the Pope when he encountered a genie. This wish was fulfilled during Holy Week before Easter— already a significant occasion — but 2025 is also a Holy Year, which makes a visit to the Vatican particularly meaningful.

Immediately after our arrival, we headed to St. Peter's Basilica. Benedek was fascinated by the square, the basilica, the atmosphere of these, he just turned his head back and forth. Unfortunately, due to Pope Francis’ health condition, a personal meeting with him could not take place. However, Benedek was received by Cardinal Rolandas Makrickas, the coadjutor archpriest of the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. After passing through the Holy Door, he immediately began a conversation with Benedek, and they then prayed together in front of Pope Francis' favorite sacred image, the Salus Populi Romani. (A few days later, this visit took on a somber significance when the Pope was buried in this basilica, near the sacred image.)

During our stay in Rome, we also visited the Holy Stairs and the Lateran Basilica, but of course, we couldn’t miss the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain either.

On the day of our departure, thanks to the Pontifical Hungarian Ecclesiastical Institute, Benedek was also able to attend the Chrism Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica, which filled him with deep devotion.

Benedek’s brother, Gergő, was also able to travel with him. He had always wanted to fly, so these few days became an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

We would like to thank our supporters—Wizz Air Hungary Ltd., Forbes Hungary, Retroplusz Trading and Service Ltd., Veszprém – Balaton Christian Culture Foundation, Mr. Péter Rudolf, director of the Vígszínház and the management of the theatre, the audience of the performance, as well as our private donors—for helping make Benedek’s dream come true.
