Going to Disney World? Stay at The Grove Resort and Water Park!

September 16, 2026

We love the fall fun at Walt Disney World! There’s nothing like eating your way around the world with a glass in your hand and the Florida sun on your face. Thousands of out-of-state visitors come down for it every year, it’s always a good time! So, the big question is, where are you going to stay? 

I’d recommend taking a look at The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando. It’s just minutes from Walt Disney World, and it’s one of those properties that truly understands what families need after a long park day… space, comfort, and room to unwind.

Here’s what stands out:

The Genie Transportation Services

They offer complimentary scheduled transportation to Disney, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld. No parking fees, no navigating, you just hop on and go.

The rooms fit all families! We’re talking spacious one, two, and three-bedroom suites with residential-style comforts. As in, room to spread out, not everyone tripping over suitcases in a standard hotel room.

The water park is a whole day by itself! Surfari Water Park has amazing slides, a lazy river, a FlowRider surf simulator, and splash areas for the little ones. After a day of walking 20,000 steps around World Showcase, a lazy river sounds perfect!

There’s plenty to do without leaving! Multiple resort-style pools, lake activities, family entertainment, and a bunch of dining options, so the days you’re not at the parks still feel like vacation.

Look, Food & Wine is one of my favorite times of year at EPCOT — the flavors, the cultures, the whole celebration of it. But the trip is so much better when you’ve got a comfortable home base to come back to. Somewhere you can kick your shoes off, let the kids burn off energy in the pool, and actually relax.

If you’re planning your fall Disney trip, The Grove is worth a look. Your feet will thank you!
