Prepare for an “Under the Sea” party… in Orlando?

Mermaid!

While the greater Orlando area is best known for the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando resorts, the area is chock-full of other tourist attractions and hotels that are definitely worth checking out, whether you’re a local or a visiting tourist. These include the world’s largest Marriott resort. 

Located close to Disney World, the Orlando World Center Marriott is a massive complex that boasts amenities including, “7 thrilling water slides, a 575-foot lazy river, poolside cabanas and more! Play 18 holes on our championship golf course and rejuvenate in our Orlando resort spa. Treat your palate in the 10 dining outlets of our hotel in Central Florida, including world-class Italian cuisine and Mikado Japanese Steakhouse.” In addition, a stay at the hotel includes “shuttle service to nearby Walt Disney World and Disney Springs” in its resort fees. 

The hotel also offers another perk: Mermaids. Yup, you read that right, mermaids. 

The hotel offers a seasonal Mermaid & Glow party where, according to the hotel, guests can join “Mermaid Elle & friends and dance the night away with our vivid glow party” in the hotel’s pool area.

While the party is included in the price of your room, you can also upgrade to a Mermaids & Glow Cabana package, which includes a heavily decorated cabana complete with “glow drinks” and a 10-minute private meet & greet with one of the hotel’s mermaids. 

From our recent experience, the mermaids swam across the whole pool, before meeting and greeting with guests. The neon light-filled atmosphere, music, and mermaids contributed to a vibe we really, really enjoyed.

The Mermaid & Glow Party is offered during select seasonal Saturday evenings from 8:00-9:30PM stretching through December.
