Preston Arsement goes behind the scenes at Disney with Make-A-Wish

What’s up, gamers! Today I’m sharing one of the most awesome experiences of my life. I had the honor of partnering with my good friends at Disney and the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help grant the wish of a legendary kid named Ernie from inside Disneyland.
As soon as I arrived, the magic kicked in and I felt like young Preston again on a family trip to Disney.
My first mission? I needed to help set up the room where I’d meet Ernie before he arrived! We ordered a mountain of pizza and brought in two gaming setups so that we could play Minecraft together. And of course I had to hook him up with some new Fire Merch! When Ernie arrived everything was perfect! I could tell right away that Ernie was an amazing and genuine person. We hit it off immediately as though we had known each other for years. The party was planned for an hour, but we had so much fun we continued on for four hours straight. Oops!
Some of you might know my friend and Fortnite pro: Clix. He was at the event granting wishes and jumped in to visit with Ernie and I. Sharing this moment with old friends and new friends was incredible.
Then it was time for the next celebration to begin. Some of the biggest YouTubers in the country were gathered together with one common goal: give the best day ever to some of the coolest kids on the planet. Everyone from Mr. Beast to Mark Rober to Rebecca Zamolo. All the creators participating in the event gathered together and all of the Wish Kids made a grand entrance on their very own red carpet. This was an epic moment where the kids were the stars, and the creators were the fans!

After the park had closed, Mr. Beast re-opened Cars Land for everyone in attendance, and I got the chance to ride roller coasters with a group of Fire Nation members. We were screaming, cheering, and laughing the entire time. Pure fun. Pure joy.
Big, big thanks to our friends at Make-A-Wish and Disney for putting together such a magical experience. It was a true blessing to connect with so many incredible people, and help spread positivity.
