Night of a Million Lights Will Return to Give Kids the World Village

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Give Kids the World has officially announced the return of their hit holiday event, Night of a Million Lights. The event will run on select nights from November 12, 2021 – January 2, 2022.

Give Kids the World, located in Kissimmee, FL, provides families with critically ill children an all-inclusive, week-long vacation. Everything from meals, to transportation, to theme park tickets are included during their stay at one of their villas.

It began last year while the village was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the village is open and hosting Wish families, so there are a few operational changes.

Concept art for this year’s event shows an upgraded tunnel of lights. Last year, the village was decked out in over 3.2 million lights, donated by Walt Disney World Resort. This year’s event will feature “a spectacular dancing lights show; a tram tour with storytelling; a holiday marketplace; enhanced food & beverage and merchandise offerings; a dazzling tree trail; and more.” While last year was a self-guided walking tour, a portion of the event will only be accessible on the tram tour this year.

Also new this year are add-ons, including a VIP tour and VIP dessert parties. Tickets are on sale now at GKTW.org.

Disney Responds To “Black Widow” Lawsuit by Scarlett Johansson

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

Earlier, we reported that “Black Widow” star Scarlett Johansson had filed a lawsuit against Disney over the film’s release. Disney has responded to the lawsuit publicly, according to Variety.

The lawsuit alleges that by releasing the film on Disney+ simultaneously with the theatrical release, “Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel.”

“There is no merit whatsoever to this filing,” said the statement by Disney. “The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Disney went on to say that Scarlett Johansson has already made $20 million from the film and stands to earn more through the digital release. They also deny any breach of contract.
