JW Marriott Bonnet Creek
Hidden Garden Kids Club
The Hidden Garden Kids Club lives up to its name. It’s genuinely hidden.
Kids enter this magical space through a door disguised among a wall of greenery. Once inside, they’ll find a large play space filled with games, arts and crafts, cozy corners with bean bag chairs and plenty of fun activities.
The Hidden Garden is for children ages 5 to 12 and run by qualified staff members who play with, entertain and look after the children while mom and dad get some needed down time.
Cost: The cost is $65 per child for half a day (9 a.m. – 12 p.m. or 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.) or $120 for a full day. There’s also the option to take part in an evening program (6 p.m. – 9 p.m.) for $85 per child.
The evening program includes dinner, a craft and other activities.
Kids Conservatory Lounge
Open area for families
In front of the Hidden Garden is another large space, the Kids Conservatory Lounge, which is open for everyone in the family to enjoy.
Kids are can only be in this area when accompanied by an adult. It’s a great place for the entire family to enjoy, especially on those hot Florida days or when the predictable afternoon showers come rolling in.
There are tons of comfy seating areas, loads of family-friendly games, books, tvs playing movies and lots more. There’s even a corner of the room dedicated as a sensory corner. It has dim lights, wall panels with different textures and materials and even noise-cancelling headphones.
This space is located on the sixth-floor and includes an outside, rooftop play area complete with a rock-climbing wall and a miniature golf course, not to mention an incredible view of Walt Disney World.
The resort is located just minutes away from Disney Springs in the Bonnet Creek resort area.
Look for fairy doors! The family fun at this resort, whose clientele is typical 50% families and 50% conventions, is not just limited to the sixth floor. Small fairy doors are located all around the resort, from the lobby to the kids’ club to some restaurants. Ask at the front desk for a fairy door cheat sheet and set out on your scavenger hunt.
Now if you want to find a fairy door in your hotel room, you’ll have to book one of the four family suites. These suites can sleep seven people, have a living space, two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms.
The kids’ room is the showstopper. It has a loft full-size bed and a queen bed below the loft. There are shelves stocked with books, a massive wall blackboard, complete with chalk, and a cozy circular seating nook.
Even the kids’ bathroom is stocked with baby soap and plenty of bath toys to enjoy in the huge tub. There’s also a rainforest shower in case your little ones prefer that.
Don’t forget to look for the fairy door in the family suite!

Ritz Kids at Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes Orlando

This portion contributed by Dani Meyering, Managing Editor
The most beautiful kids club of any resort in Orlando is found at Grande Lakes Orlando, naturally. Home to the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, this sprawling resort offers the ultimate luxury experience. The Ritz Kids Programs are the most expensive in the area, but when I set foot in the Ritz Kids club I immediately understood why.
I loved the decor that reflects the beauty of Florida and was surprised to see multiple animal areas where kids can learn about animal care. A lovely outdoor garden is a wonderful place for fun and activities outside.
