Welcome to Dreams Take Flight Ottawa

One day each year, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa takes a large group of children from the National Capital Region and nearby communities on a fun-filled one day adventure to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  

An aircraft is donated by Air Canada and crewed by Air Canada employees who volunteer their services.  A Volunteer Corps works throughout the year to raise funds for aircraft fuel, park admission and other costs, and to organize the logistics of this busy day. 

Flights, park admission, food, souvenir allowance, clothing and more are provided at no cost to the family.

Ottawa Flight Information

What you should know if you are dropping someone off or you are traveling on the Ottawa Dreams flight:

Meet and Greet

If you live in the Ottawa / Gatineau area  you will meet your group leader and other kids going on the flight about 2 weeks before flight day. You will see a presentation about how your day will go, what to bring, and what to expect! The “Meet and Greet” is a good chance to ask questions, but if you have questions in advance you can also ask your contact person.

What to Bring

  • If you take medication, please come with a 2 or 3 day supply.
  • Adults coming on the flight must have a passport.
  • All children should be dressed for warm weather in Orlando.

Arrival & Parking

It is important that you are at the Canada Reception Centre on time (flight time TBD), because there are many things that have to be done before we leave for Orlando.

If you are accompanying a child on the flight or dropping a child off at the Canada Reception Centre, please park in the parking lot that you are being directed to by our volunteers on the morning of flight.

Schedule at the Canada Reception Centre

  • Upon arrival please check-in at the children’s or adult check-in stations.
  • Proceed to your Disney Group Name where you will meet your group and Group Leader.

At Disney World – Magic Kingdom

Children will be in groups of 6 with an Air Canada group leader and additional chaperones. Each group will go through Magic Kingdom at their own pace. Food, drinks, and lots of water will be provided. Each child will select a souvenir from Disneyland. Please do not send money with your child.

Your group will stay together at all times during the day. There will be a group leader and other adult chaperones – depending on the needs of the group. You will have enough time to go on several rides . Think ahead about what your most favorite things to do at Disney world will be as your group leader will want to know – and therefore plan a day for all to enjoy.

Your group will meet on Main Street at 6:00 pm to begin departure from Magic Kingdom.
Group leaders will have cameras and there will also be photographers at Magic Kingdom to take group and “action” photos. Dreams Take Flight Ottawa will create a photo album for your memories.

Back in Ottawa

Parents can call Air Canada, 1-888-247-2262, for live flight arrival time (Flight Number AC7182) or www.aircanada.ca.

Group Pictures

A photo book will be provided to the Agencies for the children that they nominated. It will be the Agencies responsibility to provided the photo book to each child.  Make sure your agency has your correct mailing address!

This is a No Smoking Day – absolutely no tobacco products allowed all day!
