The covid-19 pandemic caused the Wwish to be put on a momentary hold for Ky and his family. Thankfully, the Wish has come true three years later, and Ky and his family will be attending Disney World at the end of this month.
Ky and his family were also treated to a beautiful boat ride across St. Louis Bay and a pizza party with his immediate family.
