The World’s First Peppa Pig Theme Park is now open, just steps away from LEGOLAND^® Florida Resort in sunny central Florida. The all-new theme park is the perfect day for preschoolers, full of oinktastic adventures just as big as they are! 

Peppa Pig Theme Park opens with six charming rides, six themed playscapes, and the ultimate splash pad for “little piggies” to practice their puddle jumping – just like Peppa and George! Peppa Pig Theme Park is also opening as a Certified Autism Center, with enhanced ride and play accessibility features and a detailed Sensory Guide to make it easier for parents and families to plan activities safely and comfortably. 

AN OINKTASTIC DAY OF FAMILY-FRIENDLY ADVENTURE AWAITS!

Start your day of play by joining Daddy Pig on an unexpected adventure in his famous red car on Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster. This is the perfect first roller coaster for brave “little piggies”!  And if your little ones still have the need for speed, they can pedal their way through an immersive camping adventure on Peppa’s Pedal Bike Tour. Smaller cyclists can enjoy a shorter pedal path adventure on George’s Tricycle Trail. 

Families can also discover “roarsome” surprises aboard a friendly dinosaur on Grampy Rabbit’s Dinosaur Adventure, enjoy sunny views while you ride the sky on Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride, sail the seas on Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride or take bouncing to a new level on Mr. Bull’s High Striker.  And grown-ups can enjoy these new rides with their little ones — no child swap necessary! 

“Little piggies” will have an oinktastic time splish-splashing around the park’s water play attraction, the Muddy Puddles Splash Pad. This dynamic area comes to life with spouting fountains, slippery slides, and other watery surprises, including special water play elements guests of all abilities can enjoy. 

The fun keeps coming with complimentary carnival games all can play at Fun Fair and just-my-size playscapes, where little ones can climb, jump, crawl and slide all over active areas like George’s Fort, Grandpa Pig’s Greenhouse, and Rebecca Rabbit’s Playground. Families can even join Peppa and her family at Mr. Potato’s Showtime Arena for live entertainment or catch some of their favorite episodes inside The Cinema. 

When families are ready to take a break from all playtime, they can enjoy a delicious meal at Miss Rabbit’s Diner. This delightful quick service location offers a satisfying selection of American bites, from classic family favorites to an assortment of fresh healthy choices to tasty treats!

The Rosen Shingle Creek is located in an excellent part of Orlando. It is right down the road from SeaWorld Orlando and International Drive. This property is also a quick 10 minute drive to Disney World or Universal Orlando. Besides the perfect location, this hotel is truly an escape from the touristy side of Orlando. Rosen Shingle Creek is on 255 acres along Shingle Creek. This is an actual creek that is the headwaters of the Everglades.

Rosen Shingle Creek Rooms

We love the rooms at Rosen Shingle Creek. This hotel features 1,501 guest rooms in different layouts. During our recent visit, we got to stay in an Executive Suite and the Queen Bed Accommodations.

Executive Suite

The Executive Suite is amazing! As soon as you walk into the Executive Suite, you will see the living room area. We love the decor and the bright colored paintings. Our kids immediately hopped on the comfortable couch.

Next to the living room is a huge table and chairs. This dining room is actually bigger than our table at home. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with your family. For me, it was the perfect spot to work during our vacation.

Next to the dining room, was a bar with mini refrigerator and microwave. They also had a pull down Murphy Bed. I loved the Murphy Bed. During the day, I could tuck it away to give us more space. Then in the evening hours, I would pull it down to sleep. The bed was so comfortable!

Double Queen Accommodations

Our Executive Suite had a connecting door to the Double Queen room. This is where the kids slept during our vacation. This room featured (2) Queen Beds, desk/table, flat screen television, chair by the floor to ceiling window, and dresser.

I loved the attention to detail at the Rosen Shingle Creek. The rooms were elegant and comfortable for the whole family. One of our room favorites was the view from the room. We got an incredible view of the golf course and three pools at Rosen. 

Rosen Shingle Creek Resort Activities

There is so much to love about this hotel. We spent several days just enjoying the resort. We never had to leave the property. You can enjoy the pools, dining, golf, trail, spa, outdoor games, spa, and more. Our two favorites are the pools and eating!

Pools at Rosen Shingle Creek

This resort has (4) amazing pools. One pool is a quiet pool, one family pool, and one lap pool. They also had a smaller shallow pool for the younger kids.

We spent most of our time at the family pool with the beach entry.

We also enjoyed one day in a cabana at the quiet pool. We love the cabana. You can watch tv, talk on the couches, or take a nap in the lounge chairs. We even ordered lunch from the cabana servers. The ceiling fan and dips in the pool kept us cool during the Florida heat.

Check out this delicious salad (called Cedar Key Salad). It was so refreshing for a hot summer day. The kids got hamburgers with french fries. I might have stolen a few fries from the kids! They were delish!

It is a relaxing way to enjoy a day by the pool. We highly recommend reserving a cabana during your stay at Rosen Shingle Creek.

Dining at Rosen Shingle Creek

There are (12) restaurants and dining options at Rosen Shingle Creek. You can enjoy a breakfast buffet at Osceola Cafe, lunch by the pool at Cat-tails, or dinner at Mi Casa Tequila Taqueria. There are so many dining options for every member of your family.

Many of the restaurants are located inside Rosen Shingle Creek near the lobby. These restaurants are located indoors, but looks like actual buildings. There was seating inside the restaurant or outside (like on a patio). As a Florida Resident, I love outdoor seating. This was even better, because you are not melting in the Florida heat.

Our favorite restaurant is the Mi Casa Tequila Taqueria with fresh made guacamole and sizzling fajitas. The whole family loves this dining experience.
