Sydnee DELIGHTS in Ice Cream for Breakfast!

Eight-year-old Sydnee and her family flew to Orlando for Sydnee’s special wish trip to Walt Disney World® Resort. The family stayed at Give Kids The World – a village for children with life-threatening medical conditions - and they were given the royal treatment at area theme parks, with VIP passes to the front of most lines.

Sydnee survived an adult-size disease, after she was diagnosed last year with a rare blood disorder and stage four cancer. Sydnee’s cancer has returned, and she has now undergone a stem cell transplant.

As for Sydnee though, she was focused solely on just having fun on her magical wish trip. “I liked the big rides, especially Splash Mountain and I liked the animals at Animal Kingdom. One of my most favorite things was an ice cream parlor at Give Kids The World that was open 24 hours a day. You can have it for breakfast, if you want,” she exclaimed. Also, Mayor Clayton tucked Sydnee and her siblings into bed the last night of their stay and she absolutely loved that.

Sydnee’s family truly enjoyed seeing her so bubbly and enthusiastic, and are so very appreciative of everyone who helped support her wish.
