Beckham’s dream was granted earlier this year, but his family still talks about their unforgettable experience, all thanks to The Dream Factory of Audrain County. His family shared:

“We still talk about our incredible family vacation to Disney World every single day. Bedtime chats with Beckham, where we debate which ride is best, have become my favorite part of the day. He and Bronson have asked at least 10 times when we get to go back.

Not only did we visit three Disney Parks, but we also had dinner with Snow White, Grumpy, D***y, and the Evil Queen. We made sure Beckham had an extra special day where he got Mom and Dad all to himself, and we went to Epic Universe, which absolutely blew our minds and ended up being our favorite day of the trip. Beckham is officially a roller coaster guy (to my delight!), and his favorite rides were Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Donkey Kong, and Slinky Dog Dash.

But the most special part of this trip was staying at Give Kids The World Village. “Special” doesn’t even begin to describe this place. It is entirely run by volunteers who were so kind and wonderful to meet. Every child (and family) staying there is a Wish or Dream kid. The Village has fully accessible rides, the coolest zero-entry pool, a pirate-themed splash pad, an arcade, mini golf, daily themed activities (Mickey, Minnie, and even Santa Claus visited!), a movie theater, a spa, and of course… an ice cream shop (ice cream for breakfast is encouraged!) 🍦

We truly cannot thank The Dream Factory enough. They gave Beckham the most incredible experience and even worked quickly to get us an earlier flight so we wouldn’t get stuck in the snowstorm. We will forever be grateful.” ❤️

Kayden’s dream came true, made possible by The Dream Factory of Lexington! His family shares their heartfelt experience below:

“This whole trip was completely the most magical trip of a lifetime. We are truly grateful for Lexington Dream Factory who were at the airport at 4am to see us off and wish us a wonderful trip. To the gentlemen at the airport who led us through security to the lady who welcomed us at the Orlando airport holding a sweet sign with Kayden’s name on it. Then arriving at Give Kids The World Village. It was one of the most magical places in the world. Every person was truly amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure you have the most amazing time. They had Kayden’s favorite thing- unlimited ice cream! 🍦Then every cast member at Disney World and Universal Studios went above and beyond. Each character and cast member spent extra time with Kayden, making sure every moment was a moment he could never forget!

One of the most magical moments was at Universal when Kayden got to meet Spiderman (who is his all time favorite). The workers and manager gave Kayden a spiderman the spidy signed for him. Spiderman spent over 20 minutes playing with Kayden. It was truly a magical moment!

Every person we met made this Mama and Dada cry many happy tears. I could never thank Dream Factory, Give Kids The World, Disney and Universal cast members enough. We will forever be grateful for what you gave our family.” ❤️
