ANAHEIM — Who can say they’ve helped pull off a cosmic jailbreak alongside an actual Avenger?<\/p>\n
For 9-year-old Coen, a big dream came true when he finally met the man behind Captain America’s shield.<\/p>\n
Coen’s wish was the heart of a much larger mission at the Disneyland Resort, as Avengers Campus turned into a hero’s headquarters today for an event called “Wishes Assemble.”<\/p>\n
As part of “Disney Week of Wishes,” nearly 40 wish kids and their families arrived at the park for a day of superhero magic.<\/p>\n
The kids spent the morning training like heroes and listening to stories with famous creators like MrBeast, Mark Rober, and Dude Perfect.<\/p>\n
The excitement grew even more when Captain America himself walked into a Marvel art class. Actor Anthony Mackie surprised the group and gave a Hasbro Captain America action figure to every child there.<\/p>\n
While most people just watch the movies, Coen got to live one.<\/p>\n
He traveled to the park with a wish to meet his favorite hero and spent the afternoon riding Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! side-by-side with Mackie. Together, they helped “break out” the Guardians on the fast-paced ride.<\/p>\n
Throughout the day, wishes came to life across the Disneyland Resort through personalized moments with talent, immersive experiences and a private evening celebration.<\/p>\n
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Marvel, Disneyland Resort and this ABC station.<\/p>\n
