Dream come true for Disney loving boy

Seth (pictured in his pram) got to meet Winnie the Pooh, one of his favourite characters

A four-year-old who has epilepsy has been able to meet his favourite Disney characters in a "once-in-a-lifetime" charity event.

Seth, from Oswestry, Shropshire, is also non-verbal and communicates with his eyes, and cannot travel abroad due to his health.

He and his family were invited to attend A Disney Wish, along with more than 200 other seriously ill children.

"It was magical from the start, his face just lit up," said Seth's mum, Vicki.

The event, at Hoar Cross Hotel in Staffordshire, was run by the entertainment giant alongside charity Make-A-Wish.

"I didn't even know Disney UK was a thing until I actually received the email," Vicki said, adding: "We would love to take him to Disneyland Paris, but with all the complications with his health it’s hard.

"We wouldn’t want to be in another country if we ended up in hospital with a language barrier."

The three-day event included decorated sets, activities, and entertainment.

Seth was also able to see and meet his favourite characters, Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore.

Vicki told BBC Radio Shropshire: "His face was just like, 'I normally see you on the telly, how are you there?'

"It was lovely watching him interact with the characters.

"He doesn’t orally interact with people, because he doesn’t like to be touched, but the characters and staff were absolutely amazing.

"It was very important, it was once-in-a-lifetime really. Every day is a blessing to us, because we never know what’s going to happen."

"I think I've got about 300 pictures altogether," she added.
