Give Kids The World Review

A tremendous, once in a lifetime, experience for children with serious illnesses. Free for the ill child and family. Check their website detailed info and eligibility.

The volunteer staff here are amazing. The houses are very cute and themed. Security is pretty good with gated entry. Have your identification and check in paperwork ready when you get to the entrance. If you are visiting know which house number your friends/family are staying at. Be prepared to check in at the main office once you get past security. The food services here are incredible with delivery right to your house If you need it. So many activities and play areas. These people are angels on earth!

Truly, words cant even begin to describe this incredible place! My family and I had more than a memorable time while visiting the beautiful villa. This enchanting place is a exhilarating place that is exceptionally accommodated for kids and teens. Truly I would have to say the staff is the true cherry upon the sundae, I have never been to a more humble place that truly treats you like family and allows true tranquility.

The most wonderful, magical place I have ever seen/been at. The staff genuinely cared about the visiting guests.

Wonderful place excellent people a place where dreams come true

Great people who coordinate Disney World visits for kids who are seriously I'll. They have guest rooms for these kids and their parents. Work with Make a Wish Foundation.

This is an awesome place. A place where living being treat each other with a great amount of respect, no matter your situation or how you like. The world will be much a better place if 70 % of us acts the same daily.
Thanks to all for the great experience in my life.

It was a dream come true. So much fun so wanderful so amazing the village the staff everything.

My family came here with my sisters make a wish in 2011 and had such a great time as guests :) we came back in 2019 as alumni, which was so fun. It was cool to see all the stuff they had when we stayed here, and to remember old times. I only wish they had more vegan/vegetarian options, but they were very accommodating :)

I have a new found respect for this organization. I never knew everything they did for these families until I visited my cousin and her family here for her son's wish. This is incredible and I can't thank everyone enough for everything they do here.

The amount of joy in a child's face here when the medical needs is worth more than the world.

Nothing else to say but, Awesome kids are truly given the world

It is so amazing the way they treat these kids and how they make this so special for them

Was there in the year 2000 for my daughter Katrina ford which had cancer would love to come invite in 2019 for her 20 years cancer free if possible we loved it there and all they did for us was beautiful

Very loving they make you feel right at home and go aboce and beyond to make the wholw family feel like royalty. Thank you for everything

This is the most amazing place staff is awesome n there is so much to do its a place where kids can take n come be a kid n forget why they r sick its amazing i am so glad i could experience this with my family. Ty for the opportunity for this adventure

We loved it and the staff was awesome but let's not get on how comfy the beds were I really want to thank make a wish for making this possible for my child the give the kids the world village is the best relaxation a child could use with all the stuff they go through

Very nice place for vacation with special needs kids.

Greatest place for Children and families to get some relief from the hardships of illness

This is the most wonderful place I've ever been. The ppl and staff was awsome.. thanks u very much!!

We were there 18years ago and itthe member's GKTW made Jay feel like a kid again. They made both of my boys feel special.

The best and most life changing experience you will ever have. If you are alumni family and you are able 100% you should go and volunteer. Our family as well as our church travel from North Carolina once a year just to simply volunteer and serve others. The staff you will never catch in a bad mood or being unhelpful. This 100% is something I would recommend to anyone. This is also a great opportunity for students that may not have lots of thing or experience serving others.

Wonderful place for sick and healthy children and their families

The GREATEST place ever! EVERYONE we encountered from management to staff to other people visiting were so incredibly sweet. Look this place up! Its BETTER than the pictures! There was so much to do. Its personalized for children which always tugs at my heart strings but man...I have never felt more at ease of all of the places I have been.

I love going here to work with the children. This place is filled with you everyone here wears a smile! There are so many things for the children and families to experience here!

This is an amazing place, I wish I lived closer so that I could volunteer.

Best place ever. Staff is the most friendly and they really do take time to care for you and your family. 10 stars!

Words cannot describe the love felt here. Staff will go above and beyond to make sure you are having the best time ever. Absolutely enjoyed our visit here!

Amazing organisation. Helping kids with life-threatening illnesses forget about their troubles.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. This place is amazing the staff is completely centeted on giving families the most amazing, relaxing time. All of our needs were met quickly ams with dignity. Thank you to all of those, both individuals and groups, that give to this incredible non - profit. We cannot wait until we can volunteer!

Just as wonderful as a return visit as for our first 20 years ago!

They are an amazing organization! Truly care about their guests! Many positions are filled by volunteers and everyone has been wonderful this week while my family has been staying here.

Great organization, I love volunteering here; my favorite is when I get the chance to hang out with Stellar!

Amazing place. Will never forget the amazing memories.

This place is so awesome to its Make-A-Wish families! My grandson loves it here! Can't wait to start volunteering!

Seeing these previous kids smile and order ice cream with their families is like giving kids the world!

Excellent very good place ... service and staff. They are very friendly. .I will always take my child to enjoy the environment the place in short in all the park! Very good ... I recommend it !!

Amazing staff that will handle your every need 24 hours a day. Tons of fun arcade games, rides, movies and things to do without ever leaving the village. Great buffet for every meal and room delivery meals. Could not have asked for a better place to stay for our make a wish!!!!

This is the place where my nephew Jamarr had his final wish. If you are looking for a charity to donate to...I highly recommend Give Kids The World.

This place was a complete blessing.I'm so happy that we went. They are so loving and supportive. My daughter was treated like a queen and they treated us like a royal court. Thank you thank you thank you!

The best place to have fun with your family, as a part of the Make A Wish Program, they are going to make you feel in the Heaven there, you do not need to expend any money there and the Village is totally awesome. The little house to stay are extremely clean and perfect for stay one week and more. For me, the best place ever!

It is a paradise, I am enormously grateful to everyone, the treatment we received was wonderful ...

My son, who is a "wish kid," and the rest of my family were honored guests at Give Kids the World in April 2015 through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The staff always wore a smile and made us feel like we owned the place. An entire week where my son was not the oddball but a V.I.P. I will never forget the kindness of the staff and many volunteers.

What a brilliant place for kids from all over the world to visit here staff and all helpers very helpfull we stayed with our family if I lived in florida I would volunteer to work there for nothing thanks G K T W

We came here for our Make a Wish trip for my son and everyone has been so amazing!!! We've visited both universal parks and have been to Disney twice because of this organization. They are wonderful people and I think what they do for kids is so wonderful and it's such a heart warming facility. There needs to be more places like this and more organizations like this. What they do is absolutely amazing and they do it unselfishly

This is the most amazing place! Check it out and volunteer- you will be changed forever!

My family and I stop here every time we are in Orlando we love all the staff and the ice cream and the wonderful fun things they have for the kids u guys go above and beyond to makes all the kids so happy thank u for making such a wonderful place..

Awesome place for kids. The adults will appreciate the experience too.

This is a magical place that you never want to leave..

Phenomenal experience. Kudos to the employees and especially the hundreds of volunteers that we encountered during or week stay. You all make this world a better place.

This place is EVERY CHILDS DREAM!!!! the staff was amazing and so nice!!!! The food was good and the icecream was out of this world!! Let's not forget the villa!!!! The villa was a home away from home! The ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT was a dream come true even for us adults!!!! We absolutely had the best vacation ever! IF I had anything bad to say it would be about the shuttle pick up from the parks every day it was a different vehicle picking us up BUT we ALWAYS got picked up and on time! The investors and funders who help to keep this place running should be very proud of the magic that they help make possible.....if only every child could enjoy this!!!! Thanks for the best week EVER!!!!

This place is heaven on Earth. From the time we checked in until check out we felt appreciate, respect, assisted and loved. Every morning at breakfast Eileen came to check on me since I fell and cracked my knee in the airport on the way in she wanted to make sure we were happy and enjoying ourselves. Every time we went in to any part of the resort the staff and volunteers looked to see how they could assist us. Something as simple as carrying a tray means a lot to a parent with children with special needs. After my experience at the airport and not getting any help this place showed how man kind is supposed to help each other. The Villas were beautiful and well maintained, they have a castle where each wish kid can write their name on a star and have it put up on the ceiling of the castle. The resorts pool was beautiful and every night the staff brought cookies gifts and treats for our babies. If they seen you walking they would offer a ride in their go carts and the atmosphere there is amazing. We all didn t want to leave because the real world isn t so friendly

I love this place. I want to yhank everyone for making the brown family dreams come true. My son Jaylen is having a blast.

I was blown away by the things they do for these little kiddos, actually the parents too... U could tell all of them where greatful and happy to experience such a place! This was actually a tour for my company, to show us what the million dollars every year goes to!

After surviving stage 4 liver cancer, make a wish reached out to me to grant me a wish. They gave the opportunity to go to disneyworld. On my magical journey I remember coming here and it was a wonderful experience. I remember getting free ice cream, the workers always had funny jokes, there was so much to do. On top of that I go to experience going to disneyworld and got to be a princess for a week. It was awesome. I'm just reaching out to say thank you to everyone or making my dream come true.

Best place literally on earth it s so sad when it s time to go I will always remember this place , bless to be able to experience.

Our family visited in June 2018 for my son's Wish trip. The village is soooo beautiful! Our stay and overall experience there was super comfortable, fun, and all around amazing. We all slept like babies, and had a blast at the village and its events, the theme parks, as well as the beach! The volunteers are truly angels, and the village is a piece of Heaven on Earth. We feel very fortunate and blessed to have been able to stay at GKTW, and will forever have wonderful memories of our time there. We hope to be able to come back and volunteer some day!

Please donate to this beautiful cause. When my son was diagnosed with cancer they made the entire family's dreams come true. He's now able to really see and enjoy Give kids the world and not be sick. That's to everyone.

Love this place. Very nice atmosphere. Make you feel very "at home" the love is real! Oh and cant forget to mention all the ice cream this kiddos can eat!!

Had an amazing experience with my family and son here..You guys Rock

This place is full of angelic HEROES and the volunteer service was awesome. The food was delicious and even the wildlife abounds with friendly encounters especially the lizards! I feel so blessed to have witnessed such a gift for our special needs community.
