GLO Summer

acrobatics above the resort before their grand landing on property.
Grande Lakes Orlando will host reoccurring events all summer, every
Saturday and on holidays, including a dazzling fireworks show in
the heart of the resort and the Oasis Grande Coconut Cabana,
which allows visitors to enjoy the property's luxurious cabanas,
sip from fresh coconuts and experience the fireworks with the best
view on property. Additional exciting activities include poolside
treats, a themed escape room, family games and a fire dancer set to
the backdrop of masterfully crafted ice sculptures.
Summer at the Club
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando invites
guests to discover the exclusive luxury amenities and programming
in its enhanced Club Level lounge, with specially curated
experiences throughout the summer. In celebration of Father's Day,
fathers and father-figures can work with the on-property Saks Fifth
Avenue Club team to be fitted for a brand-new suit, and then can
enjoy a hand-rolled cigar, bourbon tasting, live music and gourmet
culinary presentations.
For the Fourth of July, families can enjoy balloon artists,
caricaturists, and a build-your-own float station for a tasty
treat. For both Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, Club guests
can experience a "sip n' paint," live music and a lakeside double
feature movie-thon. These special occasions are additions to the
regular Club offerings, which include exclusive wine and caviar
tastings, Corsa exotic car experiences, and opportunities to
reserve the best poolside seats.
Holiday Celebrations
Grande Lakes Orlando is the ideal
destination for summer holiday experiences, whether it be Memorial
Day Weekend, Fourth of July or Labor Day Weekend. All holiday
weekends offer a Kids Extravaganza with balloon creations,
face painters and stilt walkers, and a Silent Disco. The property

exciting obstacle courses and skills activities. For Fourth of
July, travelers can experience the Fourth of July Stars and
Stripes Bash, inclusive of water slides and games, and

homage to the labor that brings the sustainable dining concept to
life.
