COLUMBUS, Ga. ( WRBL ) — About three weeks ago, a Columbus child was granted the wish of a lifetime – as Make-A-Wish Georgia surprised her with an all-expenses paid, family vacation to “The Most Magical Place On Earth.” The Price Family sat down with WRBL for an exclusive interview about their trip to Walt Disney World and what it means to them.

Bethel Price, 8, was born with a congenital heart defect (CHD). Bethel’s wish had been nearly a year in the making and she says it exceeded her expectations.
It was like, ‘Wow,’ this is better than I heard it would be.

“Over the past 43 years, Make-A-Wish and Disney have granted wishes for more than 150,000 children with critical illnesses worldwide.” According to the nonprofit, “one out of every two wishes granted in the U.S. has been a Disney wish.” And with the help of Make-A-Wish Georgia, that was the case for Bethel.
I met Mickey Mouse and the Minions at Give Kids The World. And then I met Pocahontas.
