A week at Give Kids The World Village is full of excitement and adventure. But don’t take our word for it, take it from the families who experience the Village:

Seeing a Castle full of stars that takes your breath away

Here at Give Kids the World there is the most special place- the castle of miracles- where each child who comes here on a wish gets a star to write their name on and decorate. They bring their star to the castle and give it to the star fairy and then she puts the stars up in the sky where they will stay forever. There are over 135,000 stars hanging in the castle and it is just the most beautiful place. It is truly breathtaking to see just rooms of ceilings full of stars and to think of all the warrior children who have been there ❤️Davey’s Star is in the newest room and we have the coordinates so we can always find it💫 #gktwvillage #makeawish #makeawishpawv #mostbeautifulplace #castleofmiracles

Saddling up and making memories

View this post on Instagram

One of Kyras dreams has always been to ride a horse. She had rode on donkeys and even a camel before, but never a horse. So you can imagine her delight when on our first full day at GKTW village, she discovered that the horse paddock was right outside our villa! It made me quite emotional to see her living her dream, riding around on a horse with the wonderful volunteers assisting her. It was definitely one of the highlights of her Wish trip 😍 #gktw #gktwvillage #starlightwish #wishkid #fanconianemia #fanconifighter #throwbackthursday #orlando #florida #dreamcometrue #memories

Hugs from all your favorite characters.

We actually have a few moments to breathe, so I wanted to share yesterday with you all. Our day started with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, and Mary Poppins all coming to our village first thing in the morning. This was special because we got true one-on-one time with the characters, and Pluto was number one on Jake’s to-do list! Then, we spent over 10 hours at Magic Kingdom. We rode every ride (some multiple times), Sophia got to dance with Belle during her show, and we received the very best treatment from everyone (we never waited more than 3-5 minutes for any ride). When we got back to our village, the place was decorated for Halloween and the kids got to pick costumes to keep and trick or treat! We finished the night with some ice cream and some sweet dreams. Bobby and I have both been teary-eyed at different times because this is all just so amazing. To see Jake and Sophia so happy and care free is just the best. We’re having the time of our lives! #makeawishsc @makeawishsc @gktwvillage #gktwvillage
