Operation Dreamlift 2011

In one extraordinary day, nearly 90 children boarded a plane at Trenton-Mercer Airport and soared toward a dream come true — a whirlwind adventure to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. The day began before sunrise, with excited children arriving around 5:30 AM to dance, laugh, and meet some of their favorite characters before taking off aboard a Miami Air International flight.

Once in Florida, the children spent five magical hours exploring the parks, enjoying thrilling rides, and meeting beloved Disney characters. By evening, they were back on the plane, returning home with hearts full of joy and memories that will last a lifetime.

This unforgettable experience was made possible by the incredible efforts of the All-Volunteer Mercer County Chapter, whose dedication and fundraising brought Operation Dreamlift to life. We’re also deeply grateful to the volunteers, families, friends, and local businesses who supported this journey — and to Miami Air International for their generous partnership and safe travel.
