The Enchanted Carousel was the first wheelchair accessible ride dedicated 25 years ago at the Village. Later it was joined by JJ&#8217;s Express and Lori&#8217;s Magical Flight, and now Kelly&#8217;s Sunny Swing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Enchanted-Carousel-JJs-Express-Loris-Magical-Flight.png\" alt=\"Give Kids the World accessible rides\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Enchanted-Carousel-JJs-Express-Loris-Magical-Flight.png 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Enchanted-Carousel-JJs-Express-Loris-Magical-Flight-400x225.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Enchanted Carousel, JJ&#8217;s Express and Lori&#8217;s Magical Flight<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Named after an 8 year old wish child that visited in 1993, Kelly\u2019s Sunny Swing has room for 8 people and one wheelchair.

During my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2018\/06\/volunteer-give-kids-the-world-village\/\">first volunteer trip<\/a> last April, I remember a Village family expressing how amazing it was to have opportunities for their daughter to ride the same rides as them in her wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kellys-Sunny-Swing-being-installed.jpg\" alt=\"Installation of the swing at GKTW\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kellys-Sunny-Swing-being-installed.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kellys-Sunny-Swing-being-installed-299x400.jpg 299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was able to see Kelly&#8217;s Sunny Swing being installed back in November, and I can&#8217;t wait to have the opportunity to see it in action the next time I volunteer at the Village. Give Kids the World Village is a place of yes, and Kelly&#8217;s Sunny Swing is another opportunity for wish kids and their families to enjoy their visit to central Florida together.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever visited Give Kids the World Village?
