ABOUT US

WHY: For as long as I can remember Disney has been my haven. I watched every movie Disney has ever made and convinced my parents to take me to Disney World for every birthday. Living with Disney as a child helped me to dream big. The "anything is possible" aspect of Disney is an innocent but beautiful belief that every child should have. Every child deserves the opportunity to indulge in fantasies, in magic, and in their imagination. These indulgences are what lead kids to dream big, become passionate about something, and these passions fuel them to work hard, and eventually lead to success. Financial woes or unfortunate circumstances should not bar children from experiencing the magic of Disney; thus Fantasyalnd was born.

WHAT: Created by Wofford College junior, Kulsoom Haq, Fantasyland is a non-profit project aimed at providing the magic of Disney to the underprivileged children in the community of Spartanburg, SC. Each Spring, Fantsyland is held on the campus of Wofford College in Spartanburg and caters to more than 400 children in the community. It consists of several areas each with a different theme inspired by a Disney character. The point of Fantasyland is to fully immerse these children in the magic of Disney to give them that complete Disney World experience, which many of them may never have the chance to experience. Fantasyland is a huge collaboration of a lot of passionate and talented people from the community.

WHEN: Fantasyland 2015 will be held on Saturday, March 14th, 2015 from 12 pm to 4 pm. To RSVP, please click here.
