The Stuhlsatz Family

Disney World * Our First Family

Shadow Jumpers’ success helping families take on the sun can be traced back to the very first family we were able to assist, the Stuhlsatz Family from Wichita Kansas in 2018. We organized an all expenses paid trip to Disney World so EPP kids Clint and Hattie could experience the wonder of Mickey and friends without the fear of a reaction.

“We cannot express how awesome it was to be the first family selected for assistance from Shadow Jumpers. They sent us a kick off package to surprise our kids full of protective clothing, Disney gear, and a note announcing our sun proof vacation to Disney World. They were crazy for weeks with excitement leading up to our trip"

FUN FACT: The Stuhlsatz were selected as part of Shadow Jumpers’ LIGHT THE MOMENT program in 2018. Before personalized experiences, Shadow Jumpers in its early years would pre determine where it would send a family and have families apply to be picked.

By 2021, Light the moment was reworked into the assistance program Shadow Jumpers has today.

“Shadow Jumpers put us in a hotel suite located in the Animal Kingdom (traditionally the sunniest park when walking around) so we could watch the animals from our balcony on our own terms during those peak sunny afternoon hours.”

“The most exciting benefit provided by Shadow Jumpers was our exclusive VIP tour guide.”

“He arrived equipped with a well-thought-out plan designed to navigate the parks efficiently, allowing us to skip all the lines while minimizing our sun exposure each day. Additionally, he shared helpful tips and tricks for exploring the park independently and even brought UV umbrellas for the children!”
