Currently, gold stars cover the majority of the Castle sky as a permanent reminder of those Wish Children who have visited before. There is a wall full of drawers and cabinets inside the Castle that can be open, closed and pulled causing lots of funny noises!
This certificate is given to families when they check in — it is redeemed in the Castle for a magic pillow — several Mouse for Less list members have made the pillowcases that are donated! This is the magic pillow machine. Then, POOF!!! Out comes your special pillow. Alisha too, shares her own personal pillow. This is the Gingerbread House. Meals here are provided by Perkins. This was all raised by donations. Staffed by 16 full and part-time Perkins employees, breakfast, lunch and dinner are served.
There is also a player piano that plays lots of childhood tunes! The various dining stops at the Towne Hall and the Gingerbread House. These are all brought to life thanks to corporate sponsorships. Here, fun events take place like character meet and greets, parties, Village Idol, and more. Special permission was granted GKTW to paint their gas tanks. By law, these must be white and easily spotted. This is inside pool area.
This is where Shamu dances during the Monday night pool parties — A D. The pool is complete with a ramp and a plastic wheelchair to give access to those in wheelchairs. There was one touching story of a disabled father of one of the wish children who, due to the ramp and chair, was able to swim with his children for the very first time. This is Happy Harbor Fishing Pond. You can fish off of this boat in the fully-stocked lake. Without something to compare to, this miniture furniture looks lifesize!
Each family stays in a 2 bedroom villa, complete with a living room and full kitchen. It was donated by Universal Studios Orlando. There is plenty of room for wheelchairs on this course. Each hole has a special effects trick in addition to the sound of roaring or yapping dinosaurs whenever the ball makes it in the cup. The designers used cheery colors and smooth skin and features when designing these dinosaurs, to make them fun, not scary, to the children that visit. As a group, we have been donating our time, our money, and our gifts, to Give Kids The World for years.
We have provided many things in the pas, such as hundreds of baseball caps, made and filled gift bags for several different holidays throughout the year, and sent large numbers of cameras and thermometers. Here, you can see how one person with an idea and the help of others can really make a difference!

It is doubtless that we have similar interests. Something are very helpful to me. Unfortunately it wont be with our son Aakiyr Burton,he passed away on April 05, He was the child the wish was for.
We visited your village on June Have a wonderful time there. It's great that this facility exists to bring pleasure to the families of those who suffer these illnesses, and also wonderful that the volunteers are so generous with their time. We as a family were so fortunate for our little boy Corey to have his wish come true by going to Disney World.
We were treated like kings and queens every day. Corey and his siblings talk everyday about GKTW. I can only hope that you are able to continue your kindness and generosity that was showed to my family. You and the staff made us forget about what we were going through for a week and for that we thank you so very much. It is wonderful to have a place like this for families to forget about the everyday life that they face when fighting childhood cancer. You are the best. The Daniels-Green family.
We cannot wait to go there we are so looking forward for our visit. I can't remember ever seeing my granddaughter this happy and excited. So sad to see the "Dreams for some.. You know real life is hard..
We live in a sin cursed fallen world where bad things happen to good people.. Sorry your behind closed doors experience was bad.. That's what makes GKTW such an awesome place for those it was created for. To be able to put a smile on kids faces who endure harder times than any of should have to is something to be proud of and a miracle. My daughter was there in the spring and our family will always have a special place in our hearts for every person who has spent time making miracles happen there.
May God bless you for your valiant efforts and I pray you will find a job that will supply all your needs and provide more than enough for your family this Christmas. Everyone that visits Give Kids the World comes out very please, that's because of the great treatment and better yet for its facilities, well thats what people see from the outside what goes on inside is a different story. The worse this that could ever happend to any one trying to provide for their home, I am a ex-employee and I want the world to know while you may see all of us with a smile in our face, thats not what we truly feel.
In this company there is what's called competition for power, also hatred between employees and most of all ethnic racism there is no such thing as employee relationship due to the bad administration that depends on what people can say there for approving of those they like and getting rid of those that they don't that many not occure with all hispanics only with those thats are not liked. The sad part about all of this is that every conversation White American has with their Group is no simpler then how they are going to get rid of the next guy without even investigate anything about that person as has happend in the past few months all put together but a group whos leader is Richard Bortula profecional racist and has use people like Jhon Bushko to put together stories about all the hispanic which get carried out to the person in charge of executing their employees no matter how profecional or respectful they are whith out any respect the person I am talking about is Neal McCord Acompanied by the person in charge of human resorces Taberi Scott another racist.
She is in charge of dismising inocent hispanic for no operant reason yet the other American who have been know for several offences and untocheble for these two people. The last thing is when Richard Bortula uses two other latins to accuse another latin of racism that leading to his dissmisal and not giving him any explanation not even the benefit of the doubt.
Ladies and Gentelments unfortunately this is an institute were the main goal is to provide well being and happy relationships but all of this happenings is due to the administration once again.
