Give Kids The World Village is a stunning 89-acre, nonprofit “storybook” resort in Central Florida. At GKTW, children with critical illnesses and their families are treated to weeklong, cost-free vacations. Famously known for their Night of a Million Lights event from years past, GKTW is hosting a new holiday offering this year, designed to embody the best of the Village and its holiday events.
1,600,000 lights, an exclusive tour of the incredible 89-acre village, photo-ops with magical scenery and backdrops built by Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and more, with proceeds going to an incredible mission.
