It’s no secret our job in Orlando is to smile…I mean we are the Smile Ambassadors 
Tonight I had one of the biggest smiles I’ve had since we arrived. We spent the evening volunteering at Give Kids the World Village. This village is the place families stay when they come to Orlando through organizations which grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.
This place made our inner child come to life! From a life-sized Candy Land game to interactive dinosaur mini golf…it was easy to see how any child would be in heaven there. The village also has evening activities for the guests including celebrating Christmas every Thursday (gifts, snow, and all!).
With so many things going on at the Give Kids the World Village they depend on volunteers…like YOU!
Orlando has so many places to make your family smile…How wonderful is it that there is a place where you can have your family help others smile?!!!

i volunteered here before! it is a wonderful experience and it feels great to give back. my favorite thing to do is ride in the cookie cart!!! nom nom nom
Really GKTW is a great place for the kids as well as the elders. It is very much necessary to smile well at the time of traveling. Orlando can be used as the better smile stuff for your family.

I think it is so great that spent the day at GKTW, thank you so much for showing all the wonderful places at the village. Matthew’s Boundless Playground is named in honor of my son Matthew. Thank you so much for showing the picture of it. Matthew’s wish trip was in February of 2006 and we have nothing but great memories of that place.
Thanks again and God Bless.

I volunteered there back in 2004 when I was working for Disney. It was a great night and they are a great organization!
