Madison Stewart, 13, has a personality as big as the trip Make-A-Wish sent her on over the summer. She had wished to swim with the dolphins and she got the chance to do that. But the non-profit made sure Madison did much more while she was in Orlando, Florida.
“I rode the Tower of Terror,” she said of the “scary” ride. “One time, that was it.”
Madison also rode the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom park, where she said she sat in the front row for the big drop.
On a trip to Gatorland, a theme park and wildlife preserve, she was able to feed alligators.
“My dad’s bother was terrified of me feeding the alligators. He said, ‘don’t turn your back!'”
Madison’s mom said the trip had a “ton of once in a lifetime experiences”.
