Southwest Airlines Kicks-Off 2007 Kidd's Kids Trip With Complimentary Transportation and a High-Flying Party

Deserving Families Depart for a Four-Day Walt Disney World Vacation!

WHAT: Lights, Camera, Action! Southwest Airlines is getting the party
started with a movie-themed event at Southwest Airlines
Maintenance facility, located at Southwest Headquarters. Local
radio personality Kidd Kraddick is sending more than
45 deserving families to Walt Disney World in Orlando and the
festivities will start in Dallas. The trip allows children with
special medical needs to get away from their daily stresses and
enjoy a family vacation. Southwest is providing complimentary
air service between Dallas and Orlando and one heck of a
send-off party!

Nintendo is providing the inflight entertainment! Each Kidd's
Kids family will receive the coolest travel companion for
kids - the Nintendo DS video game system. Nintendo DS is the
hottest-selling portable video game system in the world right
now, and all of Kidd's Kids will be receiving the newest color
for the system, the stylish Crimson/Onyx. To provide Kidd's
Kids with some fun activities for the flight, Nintendo is also
providing two of the coolest new games for Nintendo DS, DK:
Jungle Climber and Mario Party DS. Don't tell ... this part is
a surprise!

And finally, you can't forget the food! Making sure no one has
an empty stomach; Chick-fil-A is providing breakfast for the
families and lunch onboard this year's annual Kidd's Kids trip.

Kidd's Kids trip was to Sea World(R) in San Antonio and
benefited five families. Due to the generosity of Kidd's
listeners and corporate donations, Kidd's Kids takes between

through the cracks" of other organizations that grant wishes or
