| Katie's Make-A-Wish trip: Give Kids the World Village -- This was the best trip ever!!! We stayed at Give Kids the World Village, which is a special place for kids with life-threatening illnesses whose wish is to go to Disney World. It was the coolest place!! The Village is run completely from corporate and private donations, and isn't associated with any of the parks in Orlando. There are around 90 staff members and over 900 volunteers!!! Every one of the 92 wish familes had their own villa and rental car. Mayor Clayton is a giant rabbit who runs the place. His wife, Ms. Merry, tucked Kyle and I into bed one night. They are both really silly!! While we were in the Village, we got to go horse back riding, go to a birthday party for Mayor Clayton, celebrate Christmas with Santa, go on a carriage ride at night, play in an arcade, go fishing in the lake, race boats, go swimming or playing in the water park, go on the Carousel, play miniature golf, take a fun train ride around the Village, and eat all the ice cream we wanted!! There was a huge interactive model train set-up, and Ole Elmer, the giant snoring tree, that Kyle really loved. Some Disney characters even came to the Village to visit. We got to eat breakfast and dinner at the Gingerbread house. My favorite (and Kyle's too) was the french toast sticks! |
