Wish Kid Has Play Date at ‘Mickey’s House’’

ORLANDO, Fla. (April 2022): Logan’s favorite songs, movies and shows are all about Mickey Mouse. He lights up with excitement when he sees him, and really wished to visit “Mickey’s House”and meet his adored mouse. Logan got his dream playdate, and it was everything he wished for and more. “I started crying when he met Mickey Mouse,” said his mom Katelyn. It was a joyful and meaningful moment his family will always cherish. Logan also loved the rides, especially Splash Mountain which he rode twice.

His family’s Florida adventure continued at LEGOLAND, where they enjoyed more rides, shows and amazing LEGO sculptures. Logan was also full of smiles at Universal Orlando, getting to ride the Transformer attraction four times, meeting Sponge Bob, and dancing with Minions. His wish was a very special time for his family to live in the moment and celebrate everything that brings him joy.

To make all this magic possible, Kids Wish Network purchased his family generous Disney gift cards for their theme park tickets and many other incidentals like dining at the parks and shopping for souvenirs. LEGOLAND tickets were courtesy of Merlin’s Magic Wand, and Universal Orlando provided admission for its theme parks. Kids Wish Network also purchased his family a gift card to choose their preferred hotel accommodations.

Logan’s health struggles began as a newborn baby when he was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease. Scarring and inflammation of the lungs causes them to stiffen, making it difficult to breathe and carry oxygen to the bloodstream. He’s endured lengthy hospital stays, and at one point was on life support for several weeks. He recently had a lung biopsy, and continues to see several specialists to monitor his health. Logan requires continuous oxygen.

Many Thanks
