Weather SafetySevere Storm InformationAt Give Kids The World Village, we have a severe storm emergency plan in place to keep all of our families safe. In the event of an emergency, you will be notified and given specific information.

Tips for Coping with Unpredictable WeatherDuring a strong storm, the safest place in the villa is in the small bathroom or in the hallway.

If you have electrically powered medical equipment, notify Guest Services at “4000.”

A flashlight is in your villa kitchen for your convenience.

If the power to your Give Kids The World villa is interrupted, please avoid flushing the toilets.

If your villa floods or sustains any damage, please notify Guest Services at “4000.”

While it is possible that some attractions may temporarily close, all of the theme parks are open rain or shine. Make the best of it by planning to see a show or visiting an indoor attraction during inclement weather.

LightningWhen thunder roars, stay indoors! Lightning is a big factor in Florida weather and can occur even if it is not raining. During lightning storms, we ask that you try to remain indoors. In the event of inclement weather, outdoor venues will be closed until it’s safe to be outside. If you have questions regarding if it’s safe to be outside, call Guest Services at “4000.”

If you are in a water environment such as a swimming pool, please seek shelter immediately. Please know that we take lightning very seriously and will close the pool areas and other outdoor activities at the Village during times when lightning has been spotted in the area. Your safety is our top priority.

Please note that lightning may cause a delay in Village meal deliveries from Katie’s Kitchen and Mama Merry’s Pizzeria. Thank you for your understanding.

Sun SafetyThe warm weather of Florida means you can have fun in the sun almost all year. We encourage you to take the care needed during your stay and not let a heat-related illness ruin your vacation.

Here are a few tips to help you stay cool and comfortable in the Florida sun: • Use of sunscreen is always recommended when in the sun. • Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors help reflect away some of the sun’s energy. It is also a good idea to wear a hat. • Carry water with you and drink regularly even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which dehydrate the body. • Eat small meals throughout the day and avoid foods that are high in protein, which increase metabolic rate. • Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician. • Avoid strenuous activity. If you must engage in strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day. • Stay indoors when possible. • Take regular breaks in air-conditioned areas or in the shade. If you feel that you or someone in your group is beginning to show signs of heat-related illness, stop activity and find a cool place to rest and relax.

Fun Facts about GKTW

Give Kids The World was founded in 1986 and operated out of founder Henri Landwirth’s hotel.

In 1989 Landwirth developed Give Kids The World Village, a stand-alone nonprofit resort in Kissimmee.

The Gingerbread House Restaurant cooks more than 18,600 pounds of liquid eggs, 19,000 pounds of bacon, 13,000 pounds of sausage and 5,000 pounds of pancake flour each year!

Our mayor happens to be a 6-foot-tall rabbit, Mayor Clayton. He lovingly takes care of our Village with his bunny-bride Ms. Merry. Mayor Clayton and Ms. Merry even tuck children into bed at night. Please call the front desk at “4000” to schedule your tuck-in.

More than five-million meals were served in the Gingerbread House Restaurant before Towne Hall opened.

To date, more than 161,000 families have visited Give Kids The World Village from all 50 states and 76 countries around the world.

The tables in the Gingerbread House and The Peppermint Table feature 752 lbs. of peppermints or 66,874 peppermints total!

Over 2,200 dolls are displayed in the Gingerbread House and The Peppermint Table. They were donated by families from all over the world.

There are over 132,000 stars on the ceiling of the Castle of Miracles and in the Star Tower.

Each week, more than 1,800 volunteers donate their time and talents to the Village.

Give Kids The World Village is GREEN!

Through communication and education about water conservation, energy efficiency and waste reduction, all of us at Give Kids The World Village are taking “going green” seriously.

Listed below are just a few of the things we are doing here at the Village:

• We have energy sensors in our villas that detect motion, helping us to reduce our air conditioning and heating costs by 45–50%, which is the equivalent of saving 2,000 trees a year! Be assured that the A/C in your villa turns on when you return home and will remain on during the night as you sleep.

• We use energy efficient lighting. Your villa lights will be dim when first turned on but will brighten to full capacity in less than a minute, reducing energy consumption by 70–80%.

• We provide a smoke-free environment throughout our public and guest areas.

• We recycle paper, plastic, cans and cardboard in all guest and staff facilities. This saves about 432 cubic feet of material each week from going into a landfill. We encourage you to use the blue recycling bin in your villa throughout the week. No need to sort your recyclables; we will take care of that for you.

• All of our villas use low-flow water fixtures. This reduces water consumption by 25% on a yearly basis.

• We encourage towel and linen reuse in guest rooms by only replacing fresh towels and linens upon guest departure.

• We offer preferred parking for electric vehicles with available EV charging stations.

• Leaving your villa front door open for more than a few minutes will automatically turn off your air conditioner.

• We recycle 67,000 cubic feet of materials per year which would fill three GKTW villas.

If you have any comments or suggestions about our “green” efforts, please include them on the guest survey you will receive after your stay.

Songs are written and performed in any language in the musical style the child likes best (kids, pop, R&B, rap, rock, alternative, etc.) by many talented singers/songwriters. As each child is unique, so is every “song of love” composition. Make this trip extra special and everlasting with a Song of Love! Just fill out a request form at www.songsoflove.org/request and your child will have his or her very own Song of Love in just a few weeks.

Scoops of Hope – Scoops of Hope is a grass-roots awareness and fundraising campaign which was inspired by one of our former wish families who celebrates the anniversary of their Village trip each year by eating ice cream, just like they did in the Ice Cream Palace during their stay at Give Kids The World Village. That idea has turned into a fundraiser and now families and businesses from all over the world host Scoops of Hope special events to support our mission: creating the happiness that inspires hope for children with life-threatening illnesses. We invite you to host your own Scoops of Hope event in your home town and have fun. The more fun you have, the more everyone involved feels good about making a difference in the life of a child!
