86 Wishes and Counting

Cooper: One ELLE of a Harry Potter Universal Adventure 

Cooper, an 11 year old from Johnston, IL, wished for a family trip to Universal Studios.

Cooper and his family travelled to Orlando in August and had one ELLE of a great time.

Cooper highlighted some of his favorite moments in the thank you 

to ELLE:

"Thank you Elle Foundation for granting me the one Elle of a Harry Potter Universal Adventure wish!  I had so much fun in Florida with my family. It was great to have a vacation so that all my family (Mom, Dad and older brothers) could all be together having fun. My favorite activity was when I got to go to Ollivander’s Wand shop and Mr. Ollivander helped me chose my wand. I also had the best time on the rides—I got to ride SO MANY rides. My top 3 favorite were Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Jurassic World VelociCoaster and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  We also got to ride on some cool water rides and we all got really wet.  I am so glad that I got to go on this trip and am really happy that Elle made it so special for me and my family."

Kaylee: One ELLE of a GKTW and Orlando Family Trip  

Kaylee, an year old from Baytown, TX, had originally wished to go to Disneyworld but was delayed due to COVID so ELLE was very excited to get Kaylee and her family off on the trip! They stayed at GKTW and spent many happy days at the park, meeting and taking pictures with Disney characters Moana, Daisy Duck, the Little Mermaid and the Toy Story gang…she even learned to wield a light saber! 

From the Family:  

"From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for making Kaylee’s trip to Disneyworld a possibility and such a success. This trip would have never been possible without your team and the amazing people that donate to ensure children get their wishes granted.

We had the best week of our lives and Kaylee enjoyed every second of it! Seeing her so full of joy made the experience that much more unforgettable." 

Ella: One ELLE of an Animal Lover's Orlando Adventure

Ella, a 10 year old from Cypress, Texas is a huge animal lover who wished to swim with the dolphins and go to Animal Kingdom.

Ella and her family travelled to Orlando in April and had one ELLE of a great time!

Her trip included a stay at the Grove Resort and Water Park where she had a blast on the Flowrider and took a ride on Lake Austin in a Swan Boat with her parents.

One of her favorite things was Dolphin Cove where she had an up-close-and-personal visit and swim with a dolphin. 

Next a fun day was spent at Animal Kingdom on safari checking out cheetahs, giraffes, rhinos and all her favorite animals.
