At Give Kids The World For Henri's Starlight Scoops Ice Cream Grand Opening & Other Village Updates!

[@grlsbstfrnds]

This video made me so happy. Once upon a time back in 2002, I visited the village with my younger siblings and parents. Our younger sister suffered from paralysis and liver disease. She wasn’t predicted to live past the age of 15. After a lot of pain and sadness, it was the best week of our lives and we owe our love of Disney World to Give Kids the World. It brought me to tears to see that important work still being done. Also! Happy to report our younger sister celebrated her 23rd birthday just yesterday! Thanks for the work you guys (and adorable Jackson) are doing with the village and for the video 🤍

[@Juan-tc2lo]

I love that you guys are involved with such a great organization, we were given the opportunity to stay at Give Kids The World in 2018 for my daughters wish, she has since relapsed but we plan to visit the village one day again when she wins the battle. Continue to do all the good things you guys do we thank you!

[@flakethefox9005]

I'll be praying for you guys. I'm glad you got a chance to visit the true happiest place on earth!

[@WeCanShowYoutheWorld]

Send all the positive thoughts I have to you and your family - K

[@barbaramanning337]

Sending good thoughts to your daughter for her recovery. I am glad she had the chance to visit the village.

[@terrificthemeparkshopper6338]

Thinking of you and your family and hoping for the very best outcome❤️

[@mattahern907]

We too had the chance to stay there for my sons wish and its truly a magical place to be. Sending prayers to your family

[@genevievedaily3749]

My family got to stay here about 10 years ago. It's one of the most memorable places we have ever been! My brother has a star in the castle of miracles. Thank you so much continuing to show this place it makes my heart happy. I know my brother is looking down from heaven and is happy to see it's still as amazing as it was when he visited.

[@jenniferulrich4057]

i love give kids the world. I was a wish kid years ago and stayed at give kids the world

[@breannaalger9585]

Hey Jennifer, it’s Breanna from Facebook. Lol

[@morganp215]

That’s amazing! So glad you’re better now

[@Hollyweeds]

When Jackson looks right at Tim and says 'Hey Dada' precious! Such a cute fam!

[@lisalo8344]

Thank you for showing the wheelchair accessible cart, as well as room. My mother is paralyzed in a wheelchair for over 20 years. It is really important to show these things so that anyone in wheelchair that can not transfer can feel more comfortable before booking a trip. Have been watching ya'll for years and your content makes me smile! Thank you.

[@kaspertillae6893]

I was saying to my s.o. that it makes me sad that the entire world isn’t accessible the way G.K.T.W is. It should be; it’s so simple a lot of the time to make things accessible.

[@lisalo8344]

@@kaspertillae6893 Yes. Thank you for saying this. We need much more accessibility. A lot of peopledo not have any idea how important just handicap spots are in parking lot until they have to unfortunately utilize them because it is necessary.... let alone booking a hotel room etc. It ain't easy. xoxo

[@ashleapichardo2834]

I love that give kids the world is around. Children should never have to suffer. Childhood should be magical. I'm glad they can spread some magic even during difficult times for families.

[@joiviolette5978]

Love seeing GKTW! My baby has a star in there somewhere. It's definitely emotional seeing all the stars. We got great news that after a few more years of MRI'S our son will no longer need to do them! As the tumor he had isn't known to reacurr after 10 yrs. He is at 8.5 yrs remission! We are so happy and thankful. We definitely want to volunteer. I will be looking into it. Possibly as soon as next yr! 💖💖💖

[@yasmina3174]

Wow! Seeing Star Tower brought tears to my eyes. There's just something powerful visually seeing how many lives GKTW has touched. My brother was able to have his wish granted back in 2009. It was the most amazing time. I love this foundation and am so thankful to them for showing these little guys some magic in such dark times.

[@FrankCostanza456]

Awww, Jackson is such a happy, sweet little guy. Thanks for highlighting this wonderful charity.

[@sweetpea8091]

Give Kids The World Village what an amazing place. My Nephew had a very rare brain tumor before he was two years old. After the surgery, and when he was able to travel , him and his family spent a week there. The make A Wish Foundation did a wonderful job making the arrangements.They all had an awesome time. Thank you for sharing this...♥️Jackson had a good time too.Does the heart good...♥️

[@FFV_24]

We hope they open for Alumni visits in April when we are down. We are a two time wish family and would love to visit our son’s star and daughter’s star in the castle. Our son passed away in 2009.

[@quinnx19]

im so sorry for your loss❤️

[@chrisyoungblood1421]

[@sophiebentley6623]

So so sorry to hear that. I hope you will be able to visit their stars in April ❤️✨

[@laurawalton1466]

Your special people Jenn and Tim. Thank you for thinking of the people who have special needs. Thank you from a nurse.

[@hannahbossier1545]

LOVE the Give Kids The World vlogs. That's a really unique opportunity to reach those kids and bring them some light in some dark times.

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

It's awesome how much you guys support and promote this marvelous organization!! 1st Class!!!!!

[@flakethefox9005]

Just wanted to tell you...YES YOU...are very special and you matter to those who love you. Have a blessed day!

[@superstarem]

omg seeing all those stars made me tear up. so many lives this place has touched

[@Giuchini26]

I cant get over how adorable Jackson is 😂 He laughs at everything, such a happy baby!

[@katebarron4500]

My family was a wish family. I have interned twice at the village, and one of my responsibilities during my entertainment internship was to document stars. Having a personal connection to the star experience and getting so show current and alumni families was such an incredible honor. I majored in Nonprofit Development and Administration with the hopes to one day return to the village full time. I love when you guys visit the village! I get to see all my friends make mini cameos!

[@Ollie_2024]

Saw on instagram they were open, bless them! My local radio station was raising funds for St. Jude’s and with the stories they were telling, takes a special kind of parent to keep strong during a critical illness

[@diamander]

We went for our son Theo in 2019!we had the most amazing time staying at the GTKW village! It is truly magical! I was on their website to see how I could give back.And was pleasantly surprised to see that THE TIM TRACKER is the top individual financial donee to the GKTW! I think you and your family are amazing and wonderfully kind❤️ thank you !our family is forever grateful to donees like the trackers♥️

[@sharonbarbosa5266]

Hopefully my family and I can stay here. In tears watching the video and how amazing they make it for kids and families. My two year old son is battling brain cancer and this looks so awesome.

[@jaydawgmm69]

Thank you. I appreciate that good people like you support such a great cause.

[@GrainneH984]

It's great how involved you are with give kids the world. It shows how you're both such good people

[@linx_the_loyal]

The Tower of Miracles is such and wonder and awe moment.

[@WaltKristiWorld]

Makes me so happy to see all this open again!! It's such a magical place. It breaks my heart that kids were missing their wishes for almost a year.

[@marlareid883]

I teared up a bit when Jenn was watching Jackson on the Zebra. You can tell how much joy and love she has for that wee one.

[@jaredmcfur9752]

Its nice to see your family use your platform to help bring attention to charitable organizations and help them raise funds. Truly good people.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

That place is such a magical place and it makes my heart happy to hear it is reopen!! Jackson cracks me up, I have a feeling he keeps you both on your toes!!!

[@nina6952]

It's a requirement for the kids to eat ice cream for breakfast at least once during their stay 🙂

[@Douglas-1994]

No as many as they want

[@margarethenderson8882]

God Bless you two for caring about the Kids and Others🙏.

[@ilsehunt6338]

What a fabulous place give kids the world is for children who need cheering up ! Jackson was amazing yet again , it won’t be long and he’ll be stringing sentences together , clever little person ! Stay safe X

[@amandaherman7051]

I was a make a wish child and really miss this place thank you Tim and Jen for going again it really makes me so happy 😁

[@thecomplexion7524]

Love seeing you guys experience things through Jackson’s eyes. Can’t wait til I have kiddos too

[@NicholasGorne]

I love your highlight videos of Give Kids the World. It’s an amazing opportunity to let kids feel like kids.

[@HeidiSKulesh]

So happy that GKTW is somewhat opened back up, and can start granting wishes, and magic magic again - SUCH an important mission of joy! Such wonderful additions, and things planned for the future - makes my heart full to see it all. I think if I ever got to see the Castle of Miracles, and the stars, I'd definitely cry. Your hot fudge sundae sounds SOOOOO good Jenn, except for the sprinkles. :) The villa refurbs look fantastic. Although - like you said - they look pretty darned nice now, given a few knocks. Socially distanced hugs to the 3 of you from New Jersey! Stay strong, stay positive, stay healthy!!

[@therubyroseshop]

They were building that when my daughter had her trip last February right before the shutdown. She loved the ice cream, definitely a highlight! So fun to see the village again. My daughters star is in the star tower. Brought back so many amazing memories. Thanks for visiting and showing us :)

[@sandyb.5287]

What a wonderful place for special needs kids... and the whole family. They will never forget there magical time spent here.. Thank you for the video.

[@jwild4501]

this place is adorable! I'm so glad that I donated to this organization during the magic streamdom.

[@kaspertillae6893]

Tim I about DIED at your Wandavision reference!!!! I can’t wait to volunteer with Give Kids the World with my sweetie💛

[@elzi8391]

i wish i'd known about this place growing up, i would've loved it and i'm sure my mom would've appreciated the week away from hospitals. thank you guys for supporting such an amazing place, we need more places like this.

[@cassclark8624]

Hi trackers 🤗 I’ve been volunteering at GKTW for about 10 years before moving away. Thanks for the video

[@Starbabynn]

I remember when the ice cream was still in a train caboose behind the gingerbread house. It is so awesome to see how it's grown over the years. Such an amazing organization.

[@mariannechamness3595]

What a wonderful place. So glad you can show us it. Jackson is so cute!!

[@1987Megs]

Love this place. 💜 They make it so awesome and fun some kids might not want to leave for the theme parks!

[@kateevans3659]

Jackson’s little face in the train ❤️ So cute! What a fantastic organisation to be involved with - u guys r great!

[@brittanyboudreaux3225]

I love Give Kids the World! My brother was a wish kid and that trip was our first time ever to Disney! It truly is my favorite trip of all time

[@toniapeters9418]

Thank you guys for letting us know about this place. It is an amazing place. Definitely adding this to my list of charities I give to.

[@nessajonas131]

I’m looking to stay an extra day on my next Orlando trip to volunteer at give kids the world. I love what they stand for and how they make kids feel like kids when they need it the most

[@disneymatt01]

Why is there not a give kids the world in every state in the country. This place is perfect. I knew a young man with cystic fibrosis and he would have LOVED this place. 🥰🥰🥰

[@rheannamontana]

My nephew got his wish granted and we got to stay at Give Kids the World! I always love your GKTW videos, it brings back so many positive and fun memories from our trip there!!!

[@williambrown1337]

What a fantastic organization doing tremendous work. So glad to see that Universal and Disney have partnered up to provide this unique and magical experience for the kids.

[@docpursel8669]

I have volunteered at the village a couple of times and absolutely love this village and it’s mission. My wife and I want to move down there when we retire so we can volunteer a couple days a week. That Jurassic Park Triceratops was from the movie and was donated by Steven Spielberg himself. That’s what they told us when we were just there. Also I subscribed to you guys because you are the only ones who cover this magnificent village and I will support you for supporting them. TheTimTracker is now my favorite Disney vlog channel. Thanks guys.

[@pattytownsend-zales1128]

I love how much love the three of you share . You’re wonderful parents, reminding me of the good times I had raising my children.

[@karinab4698]

So awesome that you support this foundation! We were fortunate to be invited to stay at Give Kids the World during our son's Wish trip before he died. He was fully disabled but was able to enjoy so many of the rides and activities that our healthy children get to enjoy every day. So awesome to see your family support and bring awareness to this amazing place that is so speacial to many of us Special needs and medically fragile families.

[@Buckeye.belle330]

I love all the renovation plans they have going on! It's going to be so cool once they're completed.

[@sweetie1986]

This place is incredible. When you talked about how they celebrate different holidays every week so kids who are there can get one years worth of holidays during their stay... I started crying. It’s amazing what Give Kids The World does for these wonderful children 🥺🥺🥺

[@alexrosario7597]

That star tower was everything so many emotions 😍

[@sherinorcini9996]

How special this place is for kids going through a tough time!!!

[@jjfamous43]

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do in your community, for the US bringing great causes to light and advocating for the youth the way you do. And for Disney lovers whose theme park is still closed but not for long! 🙂.

[@carrieaurio3560]

That room of Miracle is sooooo emotional. Soooo many children. Thank you both!

[@valeriefischer8791]

I love that you keep giving much focus to Give Kids The World

[@andrewbetter514]

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do. Your work helping Give the kids the world is incredible

[@sarahb_]

Such a sweet, sweet baby. Just like my 13 month old baby 😊. They don’t look similar but their mannerisms are very similar. Watching with my 7 year old daughter, she keeps giggling at Jackson and saying what a sweet baby he is.

[@teresaprado7472]

Oh my goodness! What a terrific place. So so awesome for children. Jackson looked like he had a fun time. Loved his smile.

[@LPlandOFazul]

25:30 I agree with Jenn, even just watching the videos from Give Kids The World makes me emotional. Seeing all of those stars....it really puts the weight behind what the place does. It's beautiful and I'm so glad Give Kids The World does what they do.

[@JessieMouse8]

I can't get over how amazing Give Kids the World is. Such a fun and awesome place for the kids to just have the best time! Fills my heart with so much joy with what they do for all of the families. I remember seeing that Triceratops at Universal Studios years ago....cool to see they just moved it and didn't get rid of it. What a great day and organization ❤️. Huge hugs and love to you guys xoxo

[@samanthareagan8334]

My goodness, Jackson looks like such a big boy in the thumbnail 🙂 so cute 😍

[@Grow3Glow]

I started balling when the music played on the carousel 🎠 and Jackson's face lit up. I've been wanting to take my kids on a ride so bad. My son is big enough now, but California has us still in lockdown. Im so happy a place like this exist for kids.

[@efrainfjr]

Have a great weekend guys!

[@borno3]

Love all of your videos but your GKTW videos give me all the feels! We had the most amazing week there right before quarantine and we will forever be grateful for that place and all who give their time and resources to help it thrive. Thanks for supporting them so much!

[@melanietroutman3905]

Thank you for sharing you guys are great! ❤❤❤

[@olliedayze]

I think it's so precious that Jackson has a fan club wherever he goes. :)

[@keishlaspivey6157]

I always love when you all visit the Give Kids The World Village. I felt the emotion also in the star castle. One of my cousins has spina bifida and he came there when he was younger. I also love how much of a big boy Jackson is ,he did a great job holding on while on the merry go round. Thank you for sharing GOD BLESS

[@darthbam78]

Thank you for sharing information about this amazing place for families in need. Because of you all I wanted to do my part and made a donation .

[@stacyscooby8488]

That’s amazing that they are doing for the kids

[@emmabedan9395]

Give Kids the World is a magical place. I volunteered there back in 2015 with a group from my high school. Such an amazing experience. Thank you for showing this amazing place in your vlogs

[@phdonnell]

When Jurassic Park first opened in 1993, there was an exhibit about the film at Universal Studios Hollywood in one of the sound stages just off the Lower Lot. You could interact with some of the props (it took three people to operate the baby raptor in the egg!), and this Triceratops was a photo op. It didn't breathe back then, so I wonder if this is the actual prop, or a replica using the same molds.

[@elaineojeda6942]

I love that they are doing something for those with stemming needs.

[@jdmousers7851]

Thank you for such a wonderful showcasing of GKTW as truly the most magical place on earth as well as highlighting its founder, Henri Landwirth. His story, and his creation, is so compelling and absolutely inspirational. You overview was so good it should be watched by families before they arrive at the village. Two thumbs up for you, Jen, and Jackson.

[@cheryldailey5310]

Thank you for all you do to make the world a better and brighter place!

[@MsHolli09]

I wish everywhere had wheelchair accessible rides like that!

[@layceeferguson1991]

I'm so glad that Give Kids The World is reopening. Jackson is so cute and is getting so big, makes me smile whenever I see him smile.

[@macaelatice-loma1048]

my cousin jay stayed last week of nov 19 due to his blood transfussion treatment for a infection...he is fine now and will graduate HS this year... his wish was to go to seaworld cause he loves everything marine/sea things... he talks about it all the time and his star is the big one at 24:55 mark

[@spirit0423]

I planned a trip to volunteer there about 4 years ago for my service fraternity. Its amazing how many things have changed since then. It was still one of my favorite memories from college.

[@ImJustJoJo]

My son was a wish kid and we stayed at GKTW Dec 2019. I’m so glad they reopened we want to come back for our alumni visit soon.

[@hidingfromsomeone]

I really love your Give Kids the World blogs. I think your very genuine enthusiasm and passion and care for the place really shines through! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@chrisyoungblood1421]

Tim & Jen, you guys are the greatest! I love watching your videos! Jackson is too cute! Thank you for the content and I’ll be sure to look for y’all at the parks!

[@katc4786]

Awww! Jackson has the most adorable smile on rides

[@madisonmings]

Jenn looks gorgeous!!! And they are amazing it seems like that is such a great thing they are doing I love that!!! Also Jackson was so cute on the Merry go round and yeah I feel like just having some treat that isn't yours taste better from the other person lol and OMG THAT IS SO COOL!!! If that is the dino that's amazing it looks just like the one too!!! But another great video its super nice!!! I also thought it was funny when Tim looked through the window and was like ITS A FROG!!! Lol

[@christophermcdonald3596]

That place for terminally ill kids is amazing . So nice that there is a great place for them to go for week . Also your son looked like he was having an amazing time .

[@lucillegass4715]

Wow! What a amazing place! The star tower brought tears to my eyes, Jackson on the merry go round was just the medicine I needed! Thank you!

[@marlareid883]

That triceratops was at Universal many years ago and it did breathe. You could see the belly rise and fall.

[@jessicacollins902]

So sweet!! So happy they have this opportunity!

[@Emmamerp]

Thank you as always for fundraising for GKTW! I'm surprised that GKTW has re-opened. Our MAW chapter hasn't started granting travel wishes again yet and a lot of MAW kids are immunocompromised. My son was supposed to go to GKTW last summer, but of course he didn't get to go and will have to reapply once it's safe for him to go places again. I'm so excited for him to see the village, it's such an amazing place.

[@jasminesmith5204]

Omg Jackson’s little hands holding on the carousel! He’s such a big boy! 💙

[@clairewright9705]

I’m sure I saw that triceratops a long time ago in universal (mid to late 90’s). Nice to know it’s still around ❤️❤️ Give kids the world looks amazing, they are doing such a lovely job ❤️

[@melanieknight4503]

Looks amazing, Jackson loved his ride 😍
