Back in November Great Wolf contemplated building its first resort in Orlando. GWR Orlando Property Owner, an affiliate of Great Wolf, just purchased 50 acres in Orlando near Walt Disney World. Preliminary plans called for an 800-unit hotel, just across Interstate 4 from Disney Springs. The property purchased is adjacent to the 1,037-unit Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas and just north of the Marriott Sabal Palms resort and golf course, and Marriott World Center.
Great Wolf Lodge is a Wisconsin-based water park resort chain and currently has 14 locations. The newest location in Southern California near Disneyland will be opening next month and there is also a resort under construction in Colorado Springs.
The resorts have a rustic log cabin look, similar to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and attractions like five-story water slides, wave pools and multi-level treehouses. Other attractions in the Great Wolf chain feature multiple restaurants, conference space, ropes and climbing, miniature golf, kids spas, and mini bowling.
Most of the resorts are located in colder climates where indoor water parks are very popular. The land purchased in Florida may be used for an indoor-outdoor park.
Orlando is a great vacation spot and adding a Great Wolf Resort will give families more choices and options for a great vacation! I’m so excited to see what Great Wolf has in store for their Florida location.
