Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek offers the best of both worlds: a convenient “insider” location accessible from within Walt Disney World property and the peaceful serenity of the surrounding 482-acre nature preserve. Resort amenities include 1,000 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, a 3-acre Florida-style lazy-river pool, a Rees Jones-designed championship golf course, a luxe spa by Guerlain, a full fitness center, and nearly a dozen dining and lounge options, including the award-winning La Luce by Donna Scala.

It all sounds so great, I can’t decide when to go! Cupcake Lovers weekend is right up my alley, and right around the corner. I just realized my kids are out of town that weekend, that would make a great couples getaway. Smokin’ Hot Dogs & BBQ Weekend sounds great too or any time in between with all the great stuff they have planned. What would you and your family like to do at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek? Leave me a comment and let me know. If I get to visit there this summer I promise a full report when I get home.
