Nickelodeon Parents' Pick for Best Local Blog in AtlantaWhat: Nickelodeon Hotel and Suites or Nick Hotel
Where: Orlando Florida
When: Anytime, but the FTWS deal ends Oct. 31, 2009
A few weeks ago my family and I ventured to Florida to review the Nick Hotel for Travel Savvy Mom. Here’s a link to that review and below are a few additional tips for your trip.
1. The Lagoon pool is the main pool and has the biggest slide. However, during peak times and weekends, it can get pretty crowded. The Oasis pool is quieter and it also has a great slide that goes directly into the pool. It’s a good alternative when the Lagoon pool gets too crowded.
2. For little ones there are free swim vests available along with towels for everyone.
3. For the daily mass sliming, you want to position yourself on the white square in front of the bucket. That’s the best place to get the maximum slime.
4. My older boys (11 and 9) loved participating in the shows. The good news about the more crowded times is there are more shows and more opportunities to participate. For the evening program you must fill out a casting card and return it to guest services by 2:30 pm. Then you need to show up at the pool later in the day for the casting call.
5. The rooms were nice and the boys loved the KidSuite bunk beds. However, the KidSuite only has one bunk bed, so if you have more than two children, you’ll need the sleeper sofa – kinda cancels out what I loved best — a living room to relax in after the kids went to sleep. We ended up pulling the sleeper sofa mattress into the KidSuite. It worked fine, but made the couch a little less comfortable.
6. All three of my boys loved the 4D Theatre. When I asked the youngest what he like best it was being “sprayed with pickle juice”. The Theatre is a great place on a rainy day or to wait out the crowded times at the pool. Go ahead and get the unlimited ticket, it’s worth it.
Hi,
I was wondering if you have any further information on the Nick hotel. I.E. fees and things that does not come with the room rsvp or stay.
Also, do you know of any discounts for the hotel in July. We live in Duluth Ga. and we are planning on making a trip to the Nick hotel this summer.
Darryl, I have not been back to the Nick Hotel since I did this post, so I don’t know what types of deals they have going for this summer. I would go to their website and maybe google Nickelodeon Hotel deals. I believe there is a resort fee you pay in addition to the hotel fee and Florida resort taxes are high. How much in addition to the advertised rate you pay, I do not know. Sorry I wasn’t more help in that area. I can tell you that we had a great time. My boys loved it and there was something for everyone – the 5 year old had a good time, and even the 12 year old.
