Disney Days Brings Together 230 Siblings…And Other Exciting Reunions!
For many children in foster care, being placed apart from their brothers and sisters is one of the most painful parts of their journey.
Disney Days exists to change that, even if just for one day, by giving them the chance to reconnect, laugh, and simply be kids.
What the Day Meant to Kids in Care
Earlier this year, we shared the story of Levi and his sisters, whose journey through foster care took him through 25 homes. Last year, Levi’s Disney World trip with his sisters gave him the chance to just be a big brother again, sharing laughter, rides, and ice cream with the sisters he hadn’t lived with in years.

This year, special moments were happening for 230 other siblings across Disneyland this month (with another day coming at Disney World this October!)
One little girl said, “I just want to be with my brother” before heading onto the Jungle Cruise, while another sibling duo couldn’t wait to ride the Millennium Falcon together. “They forgot they had been fighting about who got to be a pilot and had so much fun they never stopped talking about it the rest of the day.”
Another volunteer watched as a sibling lifted the spirits of her brother with a playful moment: “There was one little girl whose brother was feeling down, but then he got his ears, and she went, ‘You know wassup, brudda!’ and he couldn’t help but laugh so hard, it was great.”
Disney cast members also joined in, sharing smiles and lighthearted antics to make each child feel celebrated. One worker remarked: “I saw a lot of them while I was working! They were so adorable and sweet and so well-behaved. They looked so excited to be at Disney and I tried so hard to make them laugh or be silly with any of the kids that came around!”
This approach allowed us to create moments like these, shared between siblings and volunteers alike, that highlighted the joy of being together and the magic of simply feeling like a kid again.
Disney Days is about creating these moments: giving kids separated by the foster care system the freedom to reconnect, play, and just feel love for a day.
Tremendous Thrills And Totally Tasty Treats
The day was overflowing with moments that will stay in their hearts for years to come.
As one volunteer shared, “Seeing siblings laugh, play, and just be together made every moment worth it.”

For Love Island USA fans, seeing Huda Mustafa and Isabelle-Anne “Belle-A” Walker together was a highlight. Both stars dedicated their day to the children, helping create unforgettable memories. Huda said, “There are good things that happen in life, and I hope that this is one of those moments where they can look back and be like, ‘Hey, you know, life isn’t so bad.’” Belle-A added, “It was such a beautiful day, I’m leaving with my heart absolutely filled.”
Entrepreneur, performer, and former Nickelodeon star Daniella Monet also joined us for Disney Days, making sure everyone in her group had a fun time, and plenty of delicious snacks! She reflected on the the experience, saying “Just see how beautiful these kids are, how sweet their hearts are, how special this day is for them and hopefully making a memory. So grateful for the experience.”
Chrissie Fit Supports Kids Behind the Scenes
Pitch Perfect actress Chrissie Fit joined us at Disney Days as well, quietly dedicating her time to her group of kids, guiding them through the park with heartfelt excitement and joy. Her energy and focus on the mission and the kids attending helped create memorable moments alongside volunteers and cast members.
Together with our incredible volunteers and Disney cast members, these special guests helped create a joyful, supportive, and magical environment for all the children in attendance.
