timberskara Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yesterday's photo showed just a glimpse of our Park of Dreams pool area, so today we'll take an in-depth look. The Park of Dreams opened in March of 2010 and has transformed the Village. While he have another small pool on property, this addition truly took us to that "resort" level. We now see more and more families choosing to spend an entire day here versus going to the parks. There's no denying that kids love pools, and adults love relaxing poolside! Out of view in the above photo is a zero-depth entry to the right. Custom PVC waterproof wheelchairs are provided, making it easy to roll gently into the water. The interactive Splash Pad is very popular amongst our smaller guests, who love to roll or dash through the streams of water. Those of you who have been to Citywalk at Universal Orlando will recognize this next photo: UO donated this piece and modified it so that the surfboard is in the foreground (near where you set the camera) versus on the actual wave. This allows kids of all abilities to pose for a "Surfs Up!" photo. Cool, huh? The Park of Dreams is undoubtedly a hot spot here at GKTW. On Tuesday evenings, we hold a poolside cookout and party with games and dancing. On Monday and Thursday nights the Entertainment team plays dive-in movies, and on Friday our weekly Pirates & Princesses Party takes place at the pool.

I'm very surprised at the amount of participation at CGA with no details yet released. I think that's because it's not really about what coaster you're riding, it's about the involvement and spirit of doing something as a team to help out a great cause. I think I'd be a little disappointed if people were making a decision to join/not join based on what coasters were being offered for the marathon. Glad to see that's not the case with Team TPR!

alilstronger Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 ^ You are right Rob! I am not doing this just for the coasters. They are just a perk. Heck, I would even do it if it was at Six Flags America and that park is crap in my opinion. I am doing this 100% for the kids!!! I worked for 6 years in a Boys and Girls Club of America with mostly underprivileged kids and I miss it EVERY DAY of my life. I LOVE kids and can not wait to adopt one eventually.

And to add on to this point, even if it's a boring/crap/painful coaster you're marathoning for several hours, whatever perceived misery comes from 6 hours on Jaguar or Rebel Yell or whatever the coaster may be, it's nothing compared to what these kids are fighting. It's all worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberskara Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 YARRRR! It's Friday, and that means tonight there will be a gathering of swashbuckling heroes and Village Princesses at our weekly Pirates and Princesses Party! As I said yesterday, this takes place at the Park of Dreams, where there just happens to be a pirate ship stage perfect for the occasion. There are "pirate" and "princess" stations where our special guests can get crowns, bandanas, wands, swords and facepaint as they transform into the character of their choice. Next, the kids get up on stage to be introduced to the crowd and are crowned princess or dubbed pirate. My boss, Mayor Clayton, even gets in on the fun! He makes a handsome pirate.

mikeykaise Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Pretty sure the GKTW Pirate and Princess Party is better than the Disney one! I love Disney and all the good stuff they do but they have a bad habit of taking stuff and putting their own spin on it which usually ends up being just a tad over the top so I definitely agree that this looks like it would be the best party ever. Kara, What an awesome update. It's very cool seeing the GKTW resort but seeing all the smiling children in the pics makes me realize even more how worth it is to give up at least a day to help provide smiles all around like that. I wish there was never a need for a place like this since it would mean no sick children but as long as there is I hope GKTW can keep on making children happy for 100 yrs or more longer.

rollin_n_coastin Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hey everybody, It's been a while since I've done a TR and I came across a lot of awesome pics that I haven't shared on TPR from my favourite part of the world so far -- Scandinavia! Won't you help me help you make it your favorite too? Whoever clicks on my link below and offers up a donation, in any amount, gets to pick from the following parks and I'll get some awesome pics up of TPR's 2009 Scandinavia trip! Choose from: Tivoli Gardens, Bakken, Hansa Park, Legoland Billund, Sommerland Syd/ Farup Sommerland/ Tivoli Friheden/ Karolinelund Combo, Djurs Sommerland, Tusenfryd, Liseburg, Skara Sommarland/ Grona Lund Combo, Power Park, Sarkanniemi & Linnanmaki It'll be a great way to get these up and let you check out the area, especially if you're considering a visit on a future TPR trip! Best of all, it's for Give Kids the World Village! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
