We purchased timeshare with Hilton Grand Vacations to spend more meaningful time with our family. So it was only natural that once we started regularly vacationing with Hilton Grand Vacations, we’d bring my mom, otherwise known as Mimi, along.
The first vacation we took with Mimi was to Hilton Grand Vacations at SeaWorld®. We wanted her to see our home resort and where we planned to spend most of our time. Of course, on her first night with us, our youngest had a high fever that led to a trip to the children’s hospital — having Mimi at “home” to look after our older son was golden while we tended to our younger son’s ear infection.

I’m sure there’s a parenting joke out there about how it isn’t vacation without a child getting sick, but with a diagnosis and a quick trip to the pharmacy, our vacation was back on track. The purpose of our trip was to treat Mimi to her very first getaway, filled with adventures and Restful moments by the pool.
One of the reasons we love Hilton Grand Vacations at SeaWorld is the location — just a short drive away from Walt Disney World®. We took Advantage of the proximity and planned my mom’s first Magic Kingdom® experience. We spent about half the day at Disney and then returned “home” for nap time, a refresh and to refuel.
Then we headed back to Disney for fireworks. I cried that night watching my mom hold the boys and share that experience with them. The memory of her that night will always be in my heart. On that trip, we also visited the Canola Experience for some rainy-day fun and Disney Springs for empanadas and rose, of course.
