Lazy River Staycation

Last week we decided at the last minute to book a fun staycation over the weekend to celebrate Father's Day - or in the words of lil' miss "Da-Da's Day". On Saturday morning, we packed up the car and made the quick drive down to Hilton Bonnet Creek which is conveniently located near Disney Springs and is now officially a Disney World Resort with complimentary shuttles to and from the parks.


You can also access all the amenities at the sister resort Waldorf Astoria which is right next door. So, halfway through the day we enjoyed the short walk over to enjoy their pool while lil' miss made friends with other kiddos playing giant jenga.


Let's be honest though - we were really there for the lazy river. Lil' miss loved floating along, and I enjoyed the live DJ by the pool playing a great mix of 90's pop and hip hop. Yep - I'm officially old. 


Lots of trips around the lazy river and down the water slide - forever the big kid standing in line for water slides. Yummy lunch by the pool, relaxation in the many hot tubs, and delish umbrella drinks rounded out the rest of the day.






After a fun day in the sun, we got ready for dinner. We decided to stay on-site since we were only there for one night to fully enjoy the resort. A post-dinner walk where we spotted some cute little bunnies, a stop by one of the fire pits, and a view of the Disney fireworks from our room wrapped up an amazing day.

Loved the view from our room! The lazy river below along with the beautiful golf course. In the distance, we could see Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. To the right we could see Epcot and Magic Kingdom. It was PERFECT for fireworks viewing that night! 


In the morning we enjoyed breakfast with a view of the lazy river by the fire pits before checking out and heading home. It was the perfect little getaway, and even 9 years later I still pinch myself that I live here.
