LOS ANGELES -- In 1980, a young boy named Frank Salazar, nicknamed "Bopsy," had a wish to visit Disneyland. It was the very first wish officially granted by Make-A-Wish.
Since then, Disney and Make-A-Wish have forged an enduring relationship with over one 175,000 Disney wishes granted.
From celebrations down main street to sports themed experiences, cruise line adventures to meeting their idols, these wishes can act as a turning point in the emotional and physical health of a child, with the majority of wish kids going on to survive their illness and lead happy and healthy lives.
So join host Joey Graziadei in taking a look back at the enduring impact of over four decades of magic and joy brought to children around the world by Disney and Make-A-Wish.
"Lasting Wishes: A Disney and Make-A-Wish Celebration," now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
Disney is the parent company of ABC Localish and this station.
