Reunion Resort: Our Florida Vacation

December 14, 2020 | Travel

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Reunion Resort, however, all opinions are my own.

When I think about going on vacation in the Orlando area, I think of staying in a hotel, or sometimes maybe a condo. It hasn’t really crossed my mind often to stay in a vacation home, but this trip may have changed my mind!

I had heard of Reunion Resort but didn’t know much about it. In case you were wondering, it’s huge (spans both sides of the interstate! Don’t worry, there is a bridge to go over it!) There are small homes, large homes, HUGE homes, condos, a playground, mini golf, tennis, pickle ball, a fitness center, plenty of pools, and even a water park! It is spread out, but no worries if you don’t have a car, you can rent a golf cart during your stay!

We stayed in a beautiful 5 bedroom vacation home with a pool, hot tub, and golf course views…and the cost is cheaper than it costs to stay in some Deluxe resorts on Disney property. I was FLOORED.

Our particular home had a game room, surround sound, an outdoor grill, several very nice TV’s, and all the comforts of home like dishes, a washer and dryer, and PLENTY of room to spread out.

There was even a cute upstairs balcony off the master bedroom. So peaceful and quiet as well!

We spent a LOT of time out back at the pool, and in the game room (they converted the garage). Emma Kate was in heaven and literally cried when we had to leave. Bless her. She gets it from her mama.

The great thing about Florida is there are very few days where it is too cold to swim! It made me want a backyard pool so badly!

We played pool, foosball, Xbox, and just hung out in the game room.

Check in was a breeze. They have a gated entrance manned by friendly staff who directed us to the check in building. We signed a few forms, were given our room keys and golf cart, and off we went!

This was a great hide and seek house. So. much. space. Could easily fit multiple families traveling together to make it even more budget friendly!

Emma Kate’s favorite room? Well, that’s an easy one. She slept in this adorable Frozen room and totally geeked out over it. I will admit, I kinda wanted to sleep in there, too!

There are also plenty of places to eat at Reunion Resort.

We had the opportunity to dine at 7593 Chophouse, and it was delicious!

Service was amazing as well, and we actually got to test out a brand new menu! There are more casual options of course, as well as a grill and pool bar at the waterpark.

Speaking of waterpark…we went twice! Emma Kate loved the lazy river and waterslides!

I loved the tropical drinks!

Reunion resort

They have a kids area with water slides, a lazy river with larger waterslide, a pool with zero entry, as well as life size games of things like Connect Four and Jenga. I also saw a sand volleyball court! We rode our golf cart here, it was just a couple minutes from the house.

We also enjoyed the pool in our own yard, it was so nice to not have to pack everything up and go somewhere else and just jump in!

Reunion resort

We were only at Reunion Resort for two days, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we wanted to, but hopefully we will be able to go back soon! I highly recommend checking into the vacation rentals they have available. They have a great search filter so you can search by number of bedrooms, dates, etc. Go check out the beautiful homes and start planning your next trip!

šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🄹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. šŸ’–

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! šŸ–ļø 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. šŸ§€ 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. šŸ›³āœØ

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing ā€œLet it Goā€ with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being ā€œcoolā€. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term ā€œfinding yourselfā€, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. šŸ’›āœØ

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of ā€œhappy birthday’sā€ from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🄹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. šŸ’–
