Nickeolodeon Suites & Resorts: The 411

What is this Nickelodeon Suites Resort everyone is talking about? Well we arrived in Orlando at 8:30 am on Thursday April 10th to this resort having no clue of what we were getting into.  I bought the total turtle package online a few weeks before. What is the total turtle package? Well, one weekend out of every month, the ninja turtles make an entrance that weekend and it is dedicated to only them; games, activities, dinner, eye masks, unlimited 4D movie passes, TMNT souvenir cups, TMNT messenger bags, TMNT movie night and more!
As I entered the hotel lobby I was given a good first impression; very clean, brightly painted with neon colors, and welcoming.  The first thing  I noticed once checking in was the TMNT mural on the entrance doors and the huge Nickelodeon sign that you could see miles away.  Check- in did take some time, but it wasn’t because of a long line, but because our front desk clerk took her time to go over all the resorts features. The big attractions that draw most families to the The Nickelodeon Suites Resort is that it has all your children's   favorite nick-toon characters as you can’t miss them painted all over the place, along with cartoon themed rooms, a daily meet and greet breakfast and a short shuttle ride to Disney World which is provided by the hotel for its guest.  Besides that another reason for staying at this resort is the nick pools which are perfect for kiddos. They have water slides, splash pads, a jacuzzi, free putt-putt golf, basket ball courts and my personal favorite pool side cabana. I noticed one of the biggest things for staying at The Nickelodeon Suites Resort is the daily poolside SLIMING …       
Yup, SLIM!  They have times in which the sliming will take place. The slimming itself only takes a few seconds but for the kids standing under the slim bucket chanting “we want slim… we want slim” its pure magic. This is truly a wonderful experience for kids.  It’s great to watch all the kiddos, young and old, line up under the big slim bucket waiting and wanting to get slimmed. I think the parents enjoy watching their children get slimmed just as much as the kids getting slimmed. This was such a family oriented resort. 
To the parents staying at Nickelodeon...  Whats in it for them?  I was surprised to learn that this resort not only caters to kids but to the parents as well.  Grant it this resort is to keep your kids entertained, but there were a few nice surprises that any parent or guardian could take advantage of at this resort. First of all for those of you who enjoy massages, there is a service that offers pool side massage for fewer than $100.00.  Also there is a poolside bar where you can have alcohol. The Bar is a full service with your standard well drinks and some top shelf alcohol, along with tropical rum drinks, and  beer.  Not that every parent wants to sit back and drink all day, but it’s still a nice service that if you want to have a cocktail poolside you can. Along with that there's a kids after dark program which I highly recommend for parents to take advantage of.  The after dark program is from 5-11 pm offered Wed-Sun.  This is a completely supervised program that consist of dinner, games, going to a 4-D movie, going to a Nick live show, slimming, crafts, and a take home souvenir.  There is a charge of $50.00 per child but it is well worth it. This gives parents a chance to take advantage of the shuttle to Downtown Disney after dark.    
I found the Nickelodeon to have pretty much everything a family needs going on vacation in Orlando FL.  The hotel was clean, the rooms where nice size with separate bedrooms for the parents and children. There is the Nickelodeon mall on property which was nice and offered a variety of food choices at a reasonable rate.  A long with a bar, arcade 4D theater and a gift shop.  The shuttle service to Disney World, Downtown Disney and Universal were always on time in which you are given a schedule that was pretty decent. I have to say our stay was nice. The enjoyed themselves and that's what matters the most! Now I need a vacation from my vacation...
