The boy who walked off an Allegiant Air flight to a rude applause is set to go to Disney, but his sick father isn't sure if he can go.

Giovanni Alvarado, 7, was removed from an airplane in Washington state last month because of an allergic reaction to dogs on the flight.

Passengers reportedly clapped as the boy and his cancer-stricken father George left the plane.

After hearing the story, Southwest Airlines offered to fly the family to Disneyland free of charge.

They are leaving April 5, but George's health has since deteriorated.

Giovani's mother said they are now trying to raise enough money to make their home wheelchair accessible.  They set up a fundraising page to help with the expenses.
