Receiving a wish from another organization would not disqualify a child from consideration, unless the prior wish was a trip to Disney. However, priority is given to children who have never received a wish.
Immediate family are included. Both parents (or legal guardians) and siblings are permitted to make the trip with the child. In the case of a single parent family, one other adult (grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc...) may accompany the child as well.
