Highlighting the event is a 30th anniversary reunion of the animated classic “Aladdin” featuring Linda Larkin, the voice of Princess Jasmine, and Jonathan Freeman, the voice of Jafar.
“Children with critical illnesses face countless appointments, treatments and hospital stays, and they are often told ‘no’ due to the limitations of their illness. Give Kids The World offers wish children and their families a week of ‘yes’ where they can forget their worries, experience joy, and spend priceless time together creating unforgettable memories,” Give Kids The World President and CEO Pamela Landwirth said in a news release. “We are grateful to our tremendous partners at Walt Disney World® and to the many sponsors, donors and participants who are making DIS Con possible for the benefit of the precious families we serve.”
