4-year-old St. Peters girl surprised with trip to Disney World

ST. PETERS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - A 4-year-old girl from St. Peters received the news on Monday that she will be going to Disney World with her family this month.

Addilynn lives with a nervous system disorder and other medical issues. Her classmates at the Learning Experience in St. Peters told her that her wish to go to Disney World would be granted.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her; we would never be able to do it on our own. Really, it’s just ... kind of speechless,” said Becky Shelton, Addilynn’s mother.

The preschool helped raise money for Make-A-Wish to support Addilynn and other children like her.

She and her family are set to leave for Disney World on Nov. 17.
