It's a wonderful place to volunteer at any time you're free. The services there are wonderful for the visiting families and also for the volunteers that serve there. It's very simple to register to volunteer on the GKTW site. It's really fun and it's beautiful there please do!

My nephew got his Wish to go to Disneyworld and they stayed here. We came to visit as we were stationed 6 hours away. This place is amazing! They have everything a family with needs could ask for and then some. The staff are the sweetest and so accommodating and thoughtful. The kids loved riding the train for close to an hour, the staff just kept taking them around! They had a couple other rides, an small arcade, a movie theatre with snacks, a merry go round, swimming pool and splash pad... so much to do here! And seeing all the stars in the tower was both breathtaking and saddening at the same time... so glad that families have such a wonderful place to come relax when life has been so incredibly stressful for them during treatments

Amazing facility for children with illnesses where their wish to go on an entirely paid for vacation comes true. Anything to give these kids relief from their devastating illness is so wonderful. The family is also included.

Our daughter's wish was a trip to Disneyworld and we got the pleasure to stay here for a week. The volunteers that come here everyday to keep this place going are truly amazing, there are over 100 everyday. There is no cash exchange whatsoever and you get treated like royalty. There's a pool, mini golf, ice cream parlor, rides, etc. They deliver cookies at night on a little cart and just go above and beyond in every way. I love the dedication and truly appreciate this cute little village.

Awesome place for families who have children dealing with disabilities or terminal illnesses that need a break from reality just for a little while. This place gives the children & their families time to focus on them, have fun & not worry about any expenses while there. Our company had the honor recently to come on the property to help clean up the gardens, clean the houses, paint & refresh the overall look of the facility for visiting families. It was a great feeling to give back to such a loving & giving facility for those less fortunate.

A beautiful place for children and parents. The love, compassion, and kindness from staff , employees, and volunteers make this place super special. I was humbled by all the wonderful people in GKTWV. My Grandson was so happy there. Anthony had a blast dancing, swimming, Made me teary eyed when Mayor Clayton put him to bed. This has been a life changing experience . We are very grateful to : Make a Wish Foundation and Give Kids The World Village. Thank you Lord Jesus.

I want to say this is by far the greatest place in the world. This place took our Disney Make a Wish to another level. My son enjoyed every bit of it and my family did too. Soo many great memories, the staff is AWESOME, and activities are nonstop! I really appreciate what they did for my son and a BIG THANK YOU to you guys! My son road to remission got a big boost I say this place helped big time.

This is one of the best places I've ever been! My family was able to visit here with our daughter for her Make a Wish trip to DisneyWorld. The people here blew us out of the water! All of the activities for the kids were amazing, and the kids had so much fun. They had a giant pool party that we had a hard time peeling my 2 year old away from, Halloween party, a giant game of candy land, and so much more. And the kids absolutely loves the food. My son had pizza every night and didn't even complain about eating dinner. Lol if you get the chance to stay here, DO IT! You'll have the time of your life, I promise.

Give Kids The World Village is a nonprofit resort located in Central Florida that offers weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. This 89-acre village is a place where kids can forget about their illnesses and just be kids again. It's a place where they can have fun, make memories, and experience the magic of childhood.

The mission of Give Kids The World is simple: to provide happiness to children who need it most. Since its inception in 1986, the organization has welcomed more than 176,000 families from all over the world. These families come from all walks of life and face different challenges, but they all share one thing in common: they have a child with a life-threatening illness.

At Give Kids The World Village, these families are treated like royalty. They stay in fully furnished villas that are equipped with everything they need for a comfortable stay. Each villa has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room area, and a kitchenette. There's also an ice cream parlor on site that serves up unlimited free ice cream every day!

But it's not just about the accommodations at Give Kids The World Village – it's about the experiences that these families get to have while they're there. There are countless activities for kids of all ages to enjoy during their stay at the village.

One of the most popular attractions at Give Kids The World Village is the Enchanted Carousel. This carousel was custom-built for the village and features horses that are wheelchair accessible so that every child can enjoy this classic ride.

Another favorite activity among guests is fishing at Lake George or taking part in one of many other outdoor activities such as mini-golfing or playing on an accessible playground designed specifically for children with disabilities.

There are also plenty of opportunities for character meet-and-greets throughout the village! Children can meet some of their favorite characters from movies such as Mickey Mouse or Elsa from Frozen.

In addition to these fun activities around Give Kids The World Village itself there are also plenty more things nearby like Disneyworld which provides even more entertainment options!

All these experiences would not be possible without volunteers who donate their time and energy into making sure each family feels special during their visit here! Volunteers help out by serving meals or helping out on rides so everyone gets equal attention no matter what age group you belong too!

Give Kids The World relies heavily on donations from individuals as well as corporate sponsors who believe in its mission statement "To provide happiness". Every dollar donated goes directly towards providing unforgettable experiences for children facing serious medical conditions along with their loved ones accompanying them on this journey through life together - something truly priceless indeed!
