About Me

In February 2025 my daughters varsity cheerleading team qualified for NCA Nationals which is held at ESPN Wide World Of Sports in Orlando, Florida. 

We arrived a day before the competition started and stayed at the amazing Grove Resort & Water Park. If you're looking for a place to stay that is kid friendly awesome water park destination with 4 different pools, hot tub, arcade and so much more, this is your place to go!

It's perfect for couples and families that like to do a little of their own cooking instead of eating out your entire vacation. We were able to make breakfast before we left for full days of watching cheerleaders put their talent to work. We had lunch at the tasty food trucks and concessions in the arenas and would find delicious food for dinner and various restaurants like Miller's Ale House, which was one we frequently dined at.
