A follow-up letter from Dylan's family after the wish trip:

I want to thank you for the wonderful trip you have gifted us. Thank you very much from all of us. Dylan says the Star Wars Day was the BEST DAY of his life.You guys are AWESOME and I LOVE you! And he will never, ever, EVER forget this trip.
We have taken many photos almost 2000 between our camera and my sister Danielle's. Danielle had even borrowed my mom's camcorder.

You and MakeAWish are truly a blessing. Everything was so perfect and a MAGICAL experience. Once I thought it was the greatest moment and his wish had come true, it went a step further. I couldn't control my tears when Dylan had the meet and greet with the characters. His facial expression was an expression I had never seen before. Unfortunately, none of us got it on camera

, it was so quick and we were just as surprised as he was. In the video, we have the back of him and when he made the expression and got excited, he also did a little jump at the same time. It was when James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Obi Wan, Dylan's favorite character, said, "I have a bad feeling about this" in Dylan's ear. Ashley the voice of Ashoka Tano is another one of Dyl's favorite from Star Wars the Clone Wars, she did lines from the episodes with him. I bet Dylan was thinking, finally someone who knows the lines. Dee Baker (voice of Captain Rex/Clone troopers) and Bruce Spence were also surprises for him too. He was also very excited to meet Anthony Daniels, C3PO! They seemed to have a connection

We spent the 1st day at Magic Kingdom, Dylan rode on all the rides he wanted too. His favorite was Pirates of the Carribean. That evening, we visited Epcot. We were chased out by a rain and wind storm, that lasted for about 15 minutes, the park was almost closed anyways. The 2nd day was his special day. He did the meet-and-greet, received his wonderful gifts, he had a lot of Star Wars toys, but amazingly enough did not get any duplicates. He even received a lightsaber replica that he has always wanted but we could never get for him, THANK YOU. He walked in the parade, attended Jedi Academy (he enjoyed that very much, he was so serious), took pics and autographs of more Star Wars characters and made a lightsaber. He got on all the rides there also. His favorite was, Star Tours. He rode it 6 times. The scariest was Hollywood's Tower of Terror, because his bottom came off the seat! The next day, we went to Animal Kingdom, hit all the rides and went back to Hollywood Studios. Dylan"s choice, of course. He was so sad to leave that night, he cried and fell asleep.
The next day, we went to Universal Studios, Adventure Island first. Dylan loved the Marvel area. He went on the Spiderman ride twice, it was our 1st ride and our last ride of the day. We had a great time, we got drenched on the Popeye wet ride and the Jurassic Park ride right afterwards, Dylan loved the wet rides. We made all the rides Dyl was able to go on in both theme parks at Universal. Dylan loved everything, even the rental car.

He made a lot of friends, as usual, at all the parks. All adults of course. It was a great experience that we all very much enjoyed!!!

Again, THANK YOU with all my heart. His wish, definitely, has been granted in many ways. You made it so special for him, this memory he will treasure for the rest of his life.
