Read the press release below for more details.
Kissimmee, FL (August 16, 2023) — If you have ever dreamed of staying inside a magical castle, now is your chance! Give Kids The World Village is offering the chance for one lucky winner and three guests to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime Magical Celebration Vacation Package featuring a one-night stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite, located inside the iconic Cinderella Castle four stories above the Magic Kingdom Park and Walt Disney World Resort.
From August 16, 2023, through October 16, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET, Disney fans can visit http://give.gktw.org/castle to enter for the chance to be treated like royalty during this unique fairy tale experience. But there’s more to the prize package than just one enchanted evening; the package also includes domestic round-trip coach airfare; a two-night stay in a standard room at a Deluxe Disney Resort hotel; 3-day theme park tickets with Park Hopper Option; a $500 Disney gift card for the winner; and breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Behind the Cinderella Castle’s glowing stained glass windows, the Cinderella Castle Suite is a study in opulence. Designed to resemble a 17th century French chateau, the ornately-decorated suite features coffered ceilings, an antique limestone fireplace, elaborate mosaics and murals, and luxurious furnishings fit for a princess or prince…plus a gilded clock stuck permanently at 11:59 p.m. – since Cinderella’s magic spell ended at midnight in the movie. Prize package recipients are not the only ones who will come away with cherished memories for a lifetime.
Proceeds from this chance to win will benefit Give Kids The World Village, an 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides critically ill children and their families with week-long wish vacations at no cost.
From life’s simple pleasures to the stuff that dreams are made of, every wish family is treated to an all-inclusive experience including transportation; accommodations; all meals and snacks; donated theme park tickets to Walt Disney World Resort and other area attractions; nightly entertainment; daily gifts; and nonstop fun at the Village, a remarkable storybook destination of its own – featuring an array of accessible rides and attractions. Since 1986, more than 188,000 wish families from all 50 states and 77 countries have been welcomed to the Village to laugh together, play together, and create unforgettable memories away from hospital stays and medical treatments.
“We are so grateful to our friends at Walt Disney World Resort for their tremendous generosity,” said Give Kids The World President & CEO Pamela Landwirth. “Their support helps ensure that we will continue our legacy of creating happiness, promoting optimism, and inspiring hope for the precious wish families we serve; and what a truly magical way of making that possible!”
