Golden Retriever Life
We drove to one of the most magical places on Earth — a village where kids battling critical illnesses are told “YES” to everything. Yes to ice cream for breakfast. Yes to skipping the lines at theme parks. Yes to being a kid again. 💜 @gktwvillage is a nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides cost-free, weeklong vacations to children with critical illnesses and their families. Since opening, they’ve welcomed over 200,000 children from 77 countries, giving families the chance to laugh, heal, and make memories that last forever. We visited during their weekly Halloween party — an unforgettable night filled with costumes, candy trails, and more joy than we could’ve imagined. Thanks to a recent $10,000 MrBeast challenge, we were able to donate to the Village so even more kids can have their wishes come true. One of the most moving places here is the Castle of Miracles, where every wish child decorates a gold star and places it inside the castle — a permanent reminder that they are loved, seen, and part of something magical forever. ✨ Other incredible things we saw: 🍦 Ice cream from 7:30am–9pm (yes, dessert for breakfast!) ♿ All rides are fully ADA accessible 🎬 A zero-entry, dive-in movie theater with wheelchair access 🏠 Families stay in villas (some up to 7 guests!) for 6 nights, 7 days 🎡 Wish families go to the front of the line at Disney, Universal, and more 🔬 They even have a hands-on STEM Wonder Lab! And it all runs on heart: 💫 1,800 volunteer shifts are filled every week 💫 93¢ of every $1 donated goes straight to the families If you’re planning a trip to Central Florida or live nearby, please consider volunteering even just one day. You’ll walk away changed — and help create memories that truly last a lifetime. #goldenretrieverlife #GKTWVillage #spreadsmiles #wishkids #smile
