Visitors to Orlando will have another reason to celebrate this 4th of July and summer, as Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek presents “SummerBlast!,” now through Sept. 4, 2012. This summer-long schedule of special events, activities and programs celebrates 104 days of summer vacation.
The SummerBlast! program is for guests of Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, conveniently located inside the gates of Walt Disney World® Resort. The summer-long schedule for SummerBlast! includes ongoing events, as well as special activities throughout the season.
We recently enjoyed a couple of days at the resort and had an amazing time. From the hotel, to the staff, to the food; everything was beyond perfect.
When you stay at the Hilton Bonnet Creek make sure you get the “Disney View”. It’s absolutely breathtaking looking out of the window. I was even able to see the Mickey Hat and Tower of Terror from Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the distance, good thing I had a long zoom lens so I could capture it.
Highlights include:
- SummerBlast! Pool Parties: Celebrate summer in style! Join the crew for the summer’s hottest hits, Orlando-inspired games, and special prizes! [Saturdays: June 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28, Aug. 4, 11, 18, 25 Sept. 1]; weather permitting.
- Ducktona 500- The Great Summer Blast! Duck Race:You’ve got to see this to appreciate it! Guests can “adopt” a rubber duck during our race around the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek lazy river pool! Winners will draw a special prize, which could include a return weekend stay at the resort! [Saturdays: June 30, July 7, 14, 21, 28, Aug. 4, 11, 18, 25 Sept. 1; weather permitting.]
- SummerBlast! Dive-In Movie Nights: End the night with a family movie on our big screen, located poolside. Grab a lounge chair or relax while floating inside the pool. [Nightly, weather permitting; June 1- Sept. 5]

Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek offers the best of both worlds: a convenient “insider” location accessible from within Walt Disney World property and the peaceful serenity of the surrounding 482-acre nature preserve. Resort amenities include 1,000 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, a 3-acre Florida-style lazy-river pool, a Rees Jones-designed championship golf course, a luxe spa by Guerlain, a full fitness center, and nearly a dozen dining and lounge options, including the award-winning La Luce by Donna Scala.
Disclosure: We were invited to stay at the Hilton Bonnet Creek. Additionally, we were provided food, and the SummerBlast events at no cost. No other monetary compensation was received. All opinions are my own.

Looks like you had a great time.
What?!?? There are hotels OTHER than Disney down there? Unheard of!
Looks like a great vacation!
lol. I know. But to be fair this one is directly off the same street as Downtown Disney, but far enough back that you aren’t in the mix of all the loud tourists
I’m in love with the pool!
That is a pretty nice water slide and what a savings to compared to going to the Disney water parks.
Looks like a fun place for the family to visit!
I’m a huge Hilton girl (just ask to see my points/GOLD). I’ve never stayed at this one and it’s only 2 hours away. I’m putting it on my list for the next time we’re in the Orlando area. Thanks.
This looks like a great place!
Sounds like a great place to stay. Will definitely have to look into during our next visit to Orlando!
