Excited to Write About This Trip

Why? Well, it was a trip to see my 20 year old brother and, we found the most amazing hotel. I know I probably have said that before but this one really impressed me. The Hilton Bonnet Creek in Orlando just opened in November of last year. We got it for $75.00 a night on Priceline. It's considered a resort option in the downtown Disney area. It's actually on Disney property but not a Disney hotel.

The reasons why I love this hotel:
It's on Disney property
The grounds are breathtaking
It's connected to the Waldorf Astoria
You have full access to both the Waldorf and Hilton
The pool has a lazy river
There is a wrap around area to have drinks outside and overlook the pool
The service was top notch
The spa is beautiful and I can't wait to get a treatment there

We need a new camera it takes horrible pictures at night. Sorry for the poor quality.

We already have our next trip booked there for July!










Me, James, Kevin and James' friend spent the day at Typhoon Lagoon and finished the day in Downtown Disney. We had a great dinner at T-Rex and just walked around. It was the perfect day

A Sneaky Disney weekend

We ended up taking a sneaky last minute trip to Disney the first weekend in April (and took a much needed day off of work)

We started in Epcot and had a fantastic dinner at Chef De France. We sat at a window seat and watched illuminations. It was romantic and sweet and I loved every second of it.



I hate the whole taking pictures while eating thing, but had to do it. They tasted just as good as they look!



It was the flower and garden festival at Epcot. The topiaries were just amazing. You could smell the flowers as you walked through the park, I have never been during that time of the year and was so happy we got to experience the event.




Saturday we relaxed at the waterpark. The weather was so nice (we were surprised) and it was a blast. We ended the evening at Magic Kingdom and loved it. Before Magic Kingdom we had a great dinner at Fulton Crab House in Downtown Disney. It was on the expensive side but I had a fantastic Chiappino for dinner.





We stayed at the Peabody for this trip (can you tell we like it there)

It was so cool when we came back from the park, the hotel was decorating for their Easter party the next day. They really had it done up so nicely. Can't wait to have a family and visit there one Easter and join in their festivities. I have pictures of this on my phone and plan to update to the blog.
