Real stories from the families who’ve experienced a Kidd’s Kids trip.

In their own words

What the trip means to our families.

Every family arrives carrying something heavy. They leave carrying something else. These are the moments they wanted to share.

Avery House Family

“The entire trip from arriving at the hanger on departure day to the flight back home was just above and beyond what we could have imagined.  We made friendships that we hope to last a lifetime. We rode all the rides…some over and over again!  The Epcot fireworks show and private viewing party was such an amazing experience. The pressure of planning and organizing a trip like this was all taken care of so that we could sit back, be present with our kids and just have the best time at Disney World.”

Carter Large Family

“Carter had a blast at the send-off party and absolutely loved the slinky dog ride. His sister, Cadence, loved hanging out with the other families and getting her own time with them. Experiencing this amazing trip was truly special. As parents it was probably the first time we have ever relaxed fully when going on a trip. The staff and volunteers make everything wonderful so that we got to just enjoy the days and make memories!”

Cayman Stephens Family

“The trip was the one of the most amazing experiences we've had as a family! We were treated like royalty. All the staff and volunteers were just so happy to be there and take care of all involved to make sure we all had the best time ever. Other than having a pass that allowed us to go to the front of the line at any ride, our favorite memory was the dessert bar by the lake while we had front row seats at the fireworks show. So much fun, smiles and laughs every day we were there. Thank you, Kidd's Kids!”

Eric Deleon Family

“One of my most cherished memories from the Kidd’s Kids trip was seeing Eric experience pure happiness — the kind you can’t fake or force. He had the most fun he’s ever had in his life. When we got home, he told me, “I’m so grateful they do these kinds of things for us,” and it truly touched my heart. It meant the world to him because without Kidd’s Kids, we likely never would have had the chance to share those moments together. Hearing him rate the trip a 10/10 was the best gift we could have received. We’ll carry those memories with us forever!”

Annalynn Magallon Family

“In our normal life we get told “No” a lot. “No she can’t ride this” and “no it’s not wheelchair accessible” but at Disney, we got “Yes” after “yes”! So many rides were accessible and my daughter who loves thrill was able to get all the thrill she wanted.”

Rylee Labus Family

“The most cherished memories of the Kidd’s Kid’s Disney trip were the attention to details and schedules that were given to take the thought process out of the trip. We were able to just take off and literally catch every ride and quite a few shows. Endless laughter, great food, great treats, gift of family pictures and souvenirs were a priceless and constant gift. We felt beyond blessed! It was a dream come true.  A dream we didn’t even know existed for our family. We are forever grateful!”

Miles Orpinel Family

“Every time I think back on this trip what I remember most is all the smiles. The smiles that were glued to my children’s faces from sunup to sundown. All the families, Kidd’s Kids staff, and volunteers that go around to the parks with you. Every single one of them helped with those constant smiles. The whole experience was nothing short of magical. The relationships that were formed were a bond like no one could understand. It’s sharing the experience with families on very similar journeys that could relate like most people cannot. No matter what anyone looks like, how they get around, or what their diagnosis is. It was a time to put all appointments, and therapy visits aside to have fun.  It is truly a trip of a lifetime! We are forever grateful for the opportunity.”

Scotty Walker Family

“My favorite part of the trip was seeing my son be able to get on rides that he would not be able to ride at other theme parks. I want my son to know that he can do anything in the world that he wants to do and going to Disney gave him a glimpse into that. My next favorite part was seeing my entire family be so carefree. My husband was skipping down the street like he was a child; I almost cried joyful tears. To have that weight lifted off for a moment was such a blessing.”
