Five year old Daryl is a budding food and music connoisseur. Possessing quite a sweet tooth, he loves to eat anything chocolate, and has a penchant for tropical fruits such as guava and papaya. One of his favorite activities is going to Jewel to shop for groceries. Daryl also appreciates music of any kind, especially if it’s played live, and loves games that involve music in some way. Daryl also loves Clifford, the big red dog. One of his favorite past times is being read his stories or watching the Clifford movies or television shows.
In February of 1999 Daryl was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Although there are several complications, Daryl continues to remain both positive and brave. Daryl and his parents believe that Disney World would be a well enjoyed and much-needed break from Daryl’s medical struggles. His parents knew he would love Disney World, and that it would be an uplifting and exciting experience for Daryl.
In March, Daryl’s wish came true, and he started his fairytale journey to the Give Kids the World village in Florida with a limo ride to the airport. The Give Kids the World Village is a place for kids just like Daryl battling life threatening illnesses. Daryl loved every minute of it! Daryl got to eat ice cream in the ice cream palace, and go into the Castle of Miracles, but his absolute favorite part was riding the train from the Amberville Train station! Daryl’s parents said he didn’t have a care in the world when he was riding that train! Daryl’s Disney World vacation was exciting and fun from start to finish. He will definitely remember his journey for years to come!
