The Official, Authorized and
Bunnyized Tale of the
Give Kids The World Village


(As told by Clayton the Rabbit, mayor of the Village)


Mayor Clayton Once upon a time, a man named Henri Landwirth ran a hotel near Walt Disney World. Each year, thousands of children came to Florida to bask in the warm sunshine and enjoy all the fun things to do. And many of them stayed at Henri's hotel.

One day, Henri learned of a special little girl who also wanted to come to Florida to play. But the little girl was very sick. For her family to come to Florida was an incredible challenge. Henri wanted to help. He said the little girl could come stay at his hotel.

Then Henri learned that more children wanted to come. So Henri went to all his friends and asked them to help him bring these special children to Florida. Soon, families from all around the world were arriving in Orlando and had the opportunity to meet Mickey Mouse and visit Walt Disney World. Henri knew that all of these children needed a special place to stay. Henri set out on a search to find the land to build his Village. And when he went looking, he found me, Clayton the Rabbit. I brought him to the land where he would build the 35-acre resort, Give Kids The World Village.


Soon, villas for the children and the families sprung up everywhere. And the children started coming from all over. And I loved them. I became so close with many of the children that they elected me mayor for life. Can you believe that? They elected a rabbit as the head of the Village. And as mayor, I've witnessed so much magic at the Village. Some may even call them miracles.

In the center of the Village, we cut away some overgrown vines, only to find a magic castle hidden beneath, filled with magic mirrors, enchanted wishing wells and a talking grandfather clock. On another night, a little boy hid his last gingerbread cookie beneath a stone near the castle for the next day. When the sun broke the next morning, an entire Gingerbread House had risen on the spot, filled with bountiful treats to delight children of all ages.

Give Kids The World built this Village just for you. Your official duty as a citizen of the village during your stay is to have fun. And may all your dreams come true!
