This summer, Pretzel Wishes had the privilege of sending Owen and his family on a magical trip to Disney World!đ°
Owenâs journey with cancer began when he was just 6 months old, and after years of treatments, scans, and hospital stays, this trip was a chance for the whole family to step away from it all and simply have FUN together. And they definitely did.
Owen took on Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, Test Track, Expedition Everest, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and more. As a huge Avatar fan, Flight of Passage was one of his favorites, although the beignets at the hotel may have been a close second.
âThis trip gave me so many great memories with my family. I really loved the rides, especially Avatar, and the beignets at our hotel were the best! My family spends so much time with me in the hospital, so it was so nice to have fun together. It was the best trip ever!â â Owen
His mom told us seeing him so happy and carefree after everything he has been through was incredibly special for their family.
This is exactly why we do what we do. Weâre so happy we could give Owen and his family a few days filled with rides, laughter, good food, and, most importantly, memories together that had nothing to do with hospitals or treatment.
A special thank you to Philly Pretzel Factory - Mount Ephraim, NJ, and Philly Pretzel Factory - Aramingo for helping make this trip possible!
