As you read this, 130 ecstatic kids are scheduled to be winging their way to Disneyland.
The ecstasy quotient is highest at Sir William Macdonald Elementary on Vancouver's east side, where 40 young children are realizing a dream their families simply can't afford.
Agatha Reid is delighted her son Alan will be Disney-bound today.
'It's a dream come true for him,' the happy mother said yesterday.
'I'm a single mother with five kids. I'm really glad that this school has a connection with Dreams Take Flight.'
Through the national non-profit organization (dreamstakeflight.ca), Air Canada donates a plane for the day and Air Canada employees fundraise to give the kids the trip of a lifetime."
