With just a few days left of the school year, my family and I are gearing up for a summer of fun and we are kicking off the summer at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando for their Enchanted Evenings celebration. We visited the resort last year and we are excited to return to make new family memories.

What is Enchanted Evenings? 

Waldorf Astoria Orlando guests are invited to celebrate summer with Enchanted Evenings taking place on weekends now through Sept. 6, 2015. Daily poolside activities, live entertainment, mini derby car racing and special culinary experiences are just a sampling of the fun that awaits families.

Last year, my family and I spent a lot of time in the pool, playing lawn games in the activities area and each afternoon we made our way over to the Weird Science Ice Cream Social – so fun. At night, we’d return to the poolside firepits for roasting S’mores before bedtime.

Luxury Meets Fun

It was hard not to fall in love with the premium accommodations at the resort. From the marble bathtub (hello, bubble bath!) to the plush linens and spectacular views – my girls may have made themselves at home by jumping on the bed a few times. Ha! I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen again this weekend too.

And while Dad and the girls have rest time, I’m going to treat myself to a drink at the interactive Cocktail Creations at Peacock Alley. During Enchanted Evenings, guests can learn first-hand how to make their own summer cocktail. Sounds like fun to me!

And for families hoping to spend some time at Walt Disney World, the resort offers complimentary transportation to the parks. The property is very close to the parks, so I’m hoping we can hop over to say hi to Mickey while we are there too.

The Waldorf Astoria Orlando is a fun and luxurious getaway for families. From the complimentary glass of champagne I received at check-in to the fantastic service each morning at Oscar’s Restaurant for the breakfast buffet – we felt like royalty. And I’m excited to experience that feeling again this weekend!
