Celebrating 30 Years of Hilton Grand Vacations at SeaWorld^® Orlando

Can you believe it’s been 30 years? Back in 1995, Disney Pixar’s “Toy Story” was a box office smash, Seal topped the music charts and the San Francisco 49ers were Super Bowl champs. That same year, Hilton Grand Vacations planted its flag in Orlando, Florida, with the grand opening of SeaWorld^® Orlando, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club. Since then, the resort has grown and evolved, but our commitment to hospitality and excellence has never wavered.

Located just steps from the iconic SeaWorld Orlando, this resort has become a cornerstone of the Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio. Its success is thanks to the incredible people who bring it to life every day.

“Many of our Team Members have been with us for years, some for decades,” says Recreation Assistant Director Gabi Bonano-Flores. “We’ve seen coworkers become lifelong friends — and even family. There are stories of front desk associates rising to management, housekeeping staff mentoring new generations and families passing the torch from one employee to another.”

The spirit of connection and consistency has made the resort a benchmark for Hilton Grand Vacations properties worldwide. In fact, it just earned its fifth consecutive Quality Assurance Audit score of 96% — a testament to the team’s unwavering commitment. To mark this milestone, the resort will host a 30th anniversary celebration on September 24, 2025, featuring live music, games, food and a look back on three decades of unforgettable memories.

“To everyone who’s been part of this incredible journey — our Guests, our team and our community — thank you,” Gabi adds. “Here’s to 30 more years of excellence, family and hospitality!”
