Holidays are always a great excuse to take a trip with the whole family. Mother’s Day (May 13) is just around the corner and the 4.5-star, 4-Diamond Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate invites you to take a last-minute trip to celebrate this special day. Stay two nights over Mother’s Day weekend or the one after for $147 a night – a great rate that includes a Mother’s Day brunch for a family of four (two adults and two children, a value of $96), breakfast daily (worth $70), and 20 percent off spa services. With these extra you save more than $55 a night.
The warm and elegant Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate is perfect for both a stay-in resort vacation and a visit to the theme parks via the Omni’s complimentary shuttle. Surrounded by two Greg Norman-designed golf courses, the property also features a spa, a family pool with waterslide, an 850-foot lazy river, a pool with private cabanas, five diverse dining experiences, and more.
