Teen Lives Out Princess Dream As Disney’s 150,000th Make-A-Wish Recipient

One young woman got the extraordinary opportunity, thanks to the Walt Disney Company and Make-A-Wish, to live out her dream as a princess and perform two of her favorite songs.

The Walt Disney Company is a place that has built its brand on nostalgia, magic and allowing people to realize their dreams. Disney is the home of Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck and dozens of other memorable characters. It's more than just beloved characters and animated films. Disney is a place that lets kids battling life-threatening conditions be kids again and forget their harsh and unfair reality for a few hours.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mikayla documents her dream coming true thanks to the Walt Disney Company and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Mikayla, as she mentions at the beginning of the clip, wanted to perform at Disney – at the Once Upon a Wish Ball. She adds that her wish was the 150,000th one granted by the House of Mouse.

To get her dream underway, the young woman heads into a sound recording studio and works with a Walt Disney music producer. The woman gives Mikayla some helpful tips, hints and pointers, as the video shows. 

After her time in the studio was over, Mikayla was off to costuming to get fitted for her big performance. She spots two dazzlingly beautiful dresses but ultimately does settle on one.

Then, Mikayla was sent to rehearsal. She practiced with several professional singers before her big performance the following evening. The young woman more than holds her own with those seasoned professionals. 

When the time comes for Mikayla to take the stage for her big performance, she knocks it out of the park. She seems right at home on stage, not showing any nerves or apprehension. 

By the end of the clip, Mikayla is overwhelmed with emotion. She is in tears as she lovingly and tenderly hugs her parents.
