Dear

Welcome to I Love Orlando, your guide to experiencing the very best of Central Florida during one of the most vibrant times of the year.

Summer brings long days filled with sunshine, making it the perfect season to explore world-famous theme parks, thrilling attractions, and outdoor adventures. From iconic rides and immersive experiences to live entertainment and culinary offerings, Orlando continues to redefine what it means to create lasting memories. As the season transitions into early fall, the excitement only grows with seasonal festivals, food events, and Halloween celebrations that draw visitors from around the world.

Central Florida also offers incredible opportunities to enjoy nature and recreation. Of course, no Florida getaway is complete without time spent in the water. Across the region, waterparks offer a refreshing escape for families and thrill seekers alike.

At Westgate Resorts, we are proud to be part of that experience. One standout destination is River Country Water Park at Westgate River Ranch Resort, where guests can enjoy a unique blend of classic waterpark fun and authentic Florida adventure. Set against the backdrop of our award-winning dude ranch, River Country Water Park features exhilarating slides, splash zones for younger guests, and inviting spaces to unwind.

TREASURES & TIARAS

AWelcome aboard the Island Time. It’s time to set sail on your adventure and experience a pirates' journey. Deep in the waters of Cocoa Beach, Florida, where the One Thousand Islands Waterway meets the mighty Banana River Lagoon, a legend sails. The Island Time Pirate Boat has roamed these waters for years – and now, she’s ready to take you with her. Every soul that steps aboard finds their voyage. Which one calls to you?

Seeking glory and adventure? Answer the call of The Treasure Hunt. Sail deep into the One Thousand Islands, wage war with a sword and water cannon, and fight your way through pirate mayhem – the likes of which Cocoa Beach has never seen. It's all hands on deck; the stolen gold won't find itself.

Yearning for the horizon? The Sunset Tour carries you across the Banana River as the sky bleeds gold and crimson. Dolphins breach, manatees drift, ospreys circle overhead – and somewhere between the

first cocktail and the last ray of sunlight, your troubles walk the plank.

Got a crew to celebrate? Commandeer the entire ship for your own private charter. Birthdays, weddings, send-offs, celebrations of life – up to 31 of your most trusted mateys aboard a real pirate ship. You bring the spirit; they provide the legend. The sea has been waiting. How long will you make her wait?

From swashbuckling adventures to storybook wonder, Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf invites families to step into a world where pirates roam and princesses reign. Search for hidden treasures! Rubies, royal crowns, and glittering tiaras are hidden away in treasure chests across the cove. Or set sail for a regal day aboard the deadly ship Alyce’s Revenge.

Round these parts, the princesses are adorned with a captain’s cap. A pirate hat fit for a queen or a princess of the high seas. Set off on an escapade filled with long shots, short putts, laughter, and imagination. Every little adventurer, be it a hearty hero or a puckish princess, can embrace their inner captain, hunt for treasure, and revel in the thrill of discovery.

This summer, blend your hopes for lifelong memories with your kids’ dreams of fantastical adventure. Pirate’s Cove is where rugged meets regal, daring meets dreamy. Capture the spirit of the cove through colorful waterfalls, echoing caves, and a sense of wonder that comes from traveling back in time.

hoy! Chart your course with Pirates & Princesses. Unlock the wonder of make-believe and map your journey on the high seas.

DRAWN TO LIFE

When the genius of Cirque du Soleil meets the art of Disney Animation in Drawn to Life, Disney Springs’ audiences of all ages experience the animator’s world coming to life in breathtaking ways and in signature Cirque du Soleil style.

A moving show of gravity-defying acrobatics, captivating choreography, new musical arrangements, whimsical characters, unique set design and playful costuming, Drawn to Life reconnects adults to their childlike selves and introduces a new generation to the wonders of Cirque du Soleil and hand-drawn animation.

At the heart of the story is the love of family and the universally unshakable bond between parents and children that remains undimmed by loss or the passage of time.

HOW DRAWN TO LIFE WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE – ARTISTRY MEETS ARTISTRY MEETS ARTISTRY

Cirque du Soleil’s 50th production, Drawn to Life celebrates Disney’s extraordinary legacy in the art of animation, from the earliest pencil sketches to the spellbinding spectacles of today. It marks the first-

ever theatrical collaboration of three creative icons: Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Years in the making, the show resulted from extensive visits that Cirque du Soleil teams made to Disney theme parks, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Research Library, Walt Disney Archives, and The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. Moving into the distinctive circus tent building at Disney Springs®, Drawn to Life blends the heart, humor and joy of Disney storytelling with new acrobatic performances and effects never seen before in a Cirque du Soleil production. Families will be transfixed as an animator’s desk becomes the stage and drawings of characters and objects come alive to fully immerse the audience in the world of animation.

CELEBRATING ANIMATION THROUGH NEW ART FORMS AND ACROBATICS

Animation and acrobatics are the perfect pairing. Animation is fascinating from the moment life appears in the drawings. As with an acrobat’s body, there is a visceral physicality in animation. Characters and moments from Disney Animation take form in Drawn to Life via extraordinary projections that transform regular-seeming set pieces into striking, moving artwork.

With a host of brand-new characters joining timeless favorites from Disney Animation, the show takes audiences on a journey to see beyond their fears and allow their dreams to soar.

Don’t miss Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil and Disney. See it live at Disney Springs® in Walt Disney World® Resort. www.cirquedusoleil.com/drawnto-life

A playful desk comes alive and gives a studious animator more trouble than expected in Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life
The Icarian act takes inspiration from early Disney animators’ observation of animals to inform realistic portrayals of woodland creatures.
Drawn to Life artists soar between two swings performing awe-inspiring movements in the show’s final act.

WESTGATE CARES 25 YEARS OF GIVING BACK

Twenty five years ago, Westgate Foundation was founded on the principle of “Doing Well by Doing Good”. Focused on supporting Westgate Team Members during times of unforeseen crisis and strengthening the communities where they live and work, the Foundation continues this mission today under its guiding motto, “Westgate Cares”.

Through its partnerships, Westgate Foundation serves as a catalyst for positive change. Over the past five years alone, the Foundation has invested more than

$6 million in community initiatives and direct support for Westgate Team Members. The Foundation partners with community organizations that seek to create stability for families in need, provide critical resources to our active military and veterans, and develop workforce readiness programs around the country.

On February 5, Westgate Foundation marked the start of its 25th Anniversary celebration with one of its most anticipated announcements: the 2026 Grantee Partners. During the event, the Foundation

revealed it will award $845,000 to more than 60 community-focused nonprofit organizations serving the areas where many Westgate Team Members live and work. In addition, Westgate Foundation announced a $405,000 contribution to the internal Team Member Crisis Fund, providing critical assistance to Team Members facing unexpected financial hardships.

As Westgate Foundation celebrates 25 years of giving back, this year’s grantee partners help carry forward a legacy rooted in compassion, community, and care.

For a full list of the 2026 grantee partners, please go to: westgatefoundation.org.
