Universal Studios, Orlando: The DoubleTree

For movie enthusiasts, Universal Studios in Orlando is one of the most amazing places in the country. You can spend time at family-friendly attractions like Minion Mayhem, enjoy interactive movie experiences like Men in Black: Alien Attack, or get immersed in your favorite movie settings with attractions like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

You can stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando for easy access. Beyond the obvious appeal of the location, you get great amenities like plush-top beds, allergy-friendly rooms, and multiple on-site restaurants. The hotel also offers a gym, heated pool, and coffee shop.

Wet ‘n Wild, Orlando: The Point

Wet ‘n Wild is one of the biggest and best water parks out there. It comes with more than a dozen aquatic attractions, so whether you’re a thrill seeker or you simply want to splash around for the day, you’ll find something perfect.

While there, consider a stay at The Point Orlando Resort, which is just a short walk from Wet ‘n Wild. The hotel offers large rooms with leather furniture and over-sized granite bathrooms. You’ll get free Wi-Fi, an in-room kitchenette, and complimentary breakfast, so you can start your day right.

Vedra Beach Golf Resort: Sawgrass Marriott
