Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive

June 7, 2017 | blogging, family, Travel

Disclosure: I was hosted by Wyndham for my stay in their resort. However, all opinions are my own.

Over Memorial Day weekend, Bobby and I decided we wanted to take Emma Kate to her very first water park in Orlando. When Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive invited us to stay as their guests, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity.

The best thing about this resort is that you can stay where you play. It is the official resort of I-Drive 360, and there is so much to see and do, many things within walking distance (Like the Orlando eye). Itโ€™s also only twelve miles from the airport, so you are literally close to everything. The resort also offers a complimentary shuttle to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld.

I loved all the greenery and tropical plants surrounding the walkways and the pool areas. There are also plenty of dining options including a bar in the lobby and at the pool. The resort is also home to Gatorville, he poolside grill and bar.

The rooms all have pillowtop mattresses, 40โ€ flat screen tvโ€™s and mini refrigerators. We were in a king room/family suite that included a separate area with bunk beds and another TV for the kids.

I really love the idea of the bunk beds, I just wish there was a door or partition to close off this area from the rest of the room. Emma Kate LOVED the bunks though and hung out on the top one all evening.

Another thing I liked is there is complimentary wifi at the resort. I was given a password upon check in and logging on was super easy.

Also, there are TWO outdoor pools as well as a heated spa, and a renovated fitness center. The lounge chairs at the pool looked so nice and relaxing!

This resort also boasts over 60,000 square feet of meeting space. There are two grand ballrooms, and a catering team ready to meet your wedding, party, or business needs.

2017-05-29_08-31-33_973

I wish we had more time to explore the area, as there were so many things within walking distance we could have done! There is the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium, the 7D Dark ride adventure, and great restaurants and shopping like Tervis, Buffalo Wild Wings, and the Sugar Factory.

Probably the best thing about this resort is the price. Rates start at just $79 per night, so itโ€™s perfect for a quick getaway, girls weekend, or business trip.

QOTD: Have you ever stayed here? What do you look for in a resort?

Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forg Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forge and had to share a travel hack for all my fellow moms planning summer getaways. ๐Ÿ’ก(ad)

We booked with @savvy_stay, which means no third-party fees, no fluff โ€” just direct access to professional hosts and more room in the budget for fun. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ 

They even have a price comparison tool on their site so you can see what you WOULD be paying if you went with โ€œthe other guys.โ€

Think: mountain views, family memories, and extra savings that actually make a difference. If Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge is on your list, do yourself a favor and check out Savvy first!

First @dollywood day of the season photo dump. ๐Ÿฆ‹ 

Pro tip: Visit now. Between Easter and Memorial Day is the perfect time to go. We arrived at 4:30 and every ride was a walk on and we stayed until closing! Perfect weather, great memories, and many more to come. ๐Ÿ’™

Cheers to 40 years, Dollywood! ๐ŸŽข
