 Zachary’s wish took 6 months to make happen because Club 33 was being remodeled.  We surprised Zachary on his mom’s birthday for breakfast.  OPH made their breakfast extra special and comp’d their meal and the manager and 5 servers totally got involved and worked with our volunteers to surprise Zachary.  The staff was so friendly, helpful and happy to be involved, and made sure the seating was set up so he couldn’t see us.  They were so excited to carry all his gifts to him; and even stayed at the table for a few minutes as he opened everything.  He was surprised with a new laptop with MS Office along with a  TV for his room and Blu-ray player and 5 DVD’s including Beetlejuice one of his favorites.  Then he was surprised with a Select Annual Disney Pass and 3 tickets to take his friends with him.  The last surprise was saved for Sunday two days later which was lunch at Club 33.  He did the CHOC walk that day in the morning and then with his mom’s help they went to lunch as a surprise at Club 33 along with his 2 best friends.  Zachary is a big Disney fan and loves to find all the hidden Mickey’s.  We wrapped everything in his favorite color Red.
