Jacere’s Big Disney Adventure

Three-year-old Dreamer Jacere and his family experienced the magic of a lifetime on their Toby’s Dream Foundation Dream trip to Disney World and Give Kids the World Village, a first-time adventure filled with joy, wonder, and unforgettable family moments. 

For Jacere, the excitement began before the vacation even officially started. It was his first time flying, and he handled it like a pro. He sat by the window, watching the world below with amazement, calm and curious the entire time. Mom said, Jacere made it clear, this trip was “all about having fun.” 

One of the most magical moments of the journey was meeting Mickey Mouse. Jacere was overjoyed, especially during the Magic Kingdom nighttime castle parade, where fireworks lit up the sky and pure happiness filled the moment. Magic Kingdom quickly became his favorite park, where he got to see Mickey twice, along with Goofy, Minnie, and so many other beloved characters. 

Jacere also loved the thrills of the parks. He was just tall enough to ride Slinky Dog Dash, which became one of his favorite attractions. At SeaWorld, Elmo’s World Ride brought big smiles, and throughout the trip, Jacere showed no fear, whether it was the rides, flying, or trying something new. He embraced every experience with excitement and confidence. 

Give Kids the World Village added a deeply meaningful layer to the trip for the entire family. One especially cherished moment was when Jacere and his mom created his star and placed it into the galaxy at the Village. This experience was dedicated not only to Jacere, but also to his godmother, who had recently passed away. Seeing the star light up and knowing they could return to visit it brought comfort, connection, and lasting meaning to the experience. 

Jacere also enjoyed the Candyland playground at Give Kids the World, where he was free to run, play, and just be a kid. His parents loved watching him explore without limits, fully embracing the joy of the moment.  

Reflecting on the trip, Jacere’s family describes it as truly magical, an unforgettable first Disney experience for everyone. They visited five different parks, saw everything they could, and made memories that will last forever. 

As they look back, the family hopes this experience isn’t goodbye, but rather the beginning of many more joyful adventures to come. As they shared, “It was everything, it was really a great experience.” 

Jacere’s Dream trip was filled with laughter, love, remembrance, and magic, exactly what a Dream should be.  

Toby’s Dream Foundation is thankful for the teamwork, time and efforts put forth by the many organizations and people that made this Dream possible.
