Marriott Vacations Worldwide and Make-A-Wish Grant 100th Wish in Orlando

Marriott Vacations Worldwide is granting its 100th wish through the company’s two-year partnership with Make-A-Wish. Through this sponsorship, Marriott has provided incredible vacation experiences to wish kids and their families within their family of Vacation Club resorts.

Make-A-Wish celebrates World Wish Month in April. As part of the celebration, Marriott Vacations Worldwide welcomed nine-year-old Layla Catts and her family to the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Orlando. There, she was treated to a VIP pool party and took a private pony ride through the petting zoo staff had brought in.

Marriott Vacation Worldwide first partnered with Make-A-Wish in February 2022. The company is proud to support the mission of bringing children’s wishes to life. Since the partnership began, over 20 Marriott Vacations Worldwide resorts has welcomed with kids and their families to enjoy special vacation experiences.

“At Marriott Vacations Worldwide, we know how meaningful vacations can be,” said John Geller, President and CEO, Marriott Vacations Worldwide. “It’s incredible to see the difference our teams make in the lives of these children and their families through this partnership.”

With Layla’s recent wish stay, Marriott Vacation Worldwide’s Orlando properties have hosted seven wish stays since 2022 and have two more planned. Companywide, there have been over 25 wish families welcomed in 2024 alone, with more scheduled to be fulfilled throughout the remainder of the year.
