A Florida father says his family's vacation took a disturbing turn after his 3-year-old daughter found a sex toy in their room at a Kissimmee resort, upending what was supposed to be a trip built around central Florida's theme parks.
The father told WKMG that the incident happened in a room at Holiday Inn Club Vacations' Orange Lake Resort, and that it left his family's getaway feeling ruined. The station's report does not detail the exact sequence of events beyond the discovery itself, and it does not include a response from Holiday Inn Club Vacations or Orange Lake Resort addressing what happened.
A Sprawling Resort Steps From Disney
Orange Lake Resort is no small operation. According to Tripadvisor, the property spans 1,450 acres and is split into four separate villages, with the address listed at 8505 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial in Kissimmee. Combined, those villages offer seven pools, a lazy-river-style pool, waterslides, four golf courses, three arcades and eight dining options, and the resort sits right next to Walt Disney World's theme parks, according to the same listing.
That scale is part of why families flock there for theme park trips, but it also comes with a mixed reputation. Tripadvisor's review summary describes guest opinions as mixed, with travelers praising the rooms and amenities while also raising complaints about extra fees and maintenance issues.
An Unverified Account Of A Similar Incident
A separate, low-confidence account posted to Yelp describes what the reviewer says was a similar experience at the same resort, though it has not been independently verified. The Yelp post claims the guest returned the item to the resort roughly 22 hours after reporting it and completed a security report. The same account states that the resort eventually offered to refund a $626.68 stay, reimburse $699.72 in Disney tickets, and provide a future stay, though none of those figures have been confirmed beyond the snippet itself.
Similar complaints about unsettling discoveries in hotel and resort rooms have surfaced elsewhere in recent months. In January, a Tennessee mother and daughter said they found a camera hidden in the bathroom vent of their Alabama hotel room, according to KPTV. And back in 2020, a Scottish couple reported finding a sex toy in their resort room, a complaint that prompted Angus Council's environmental health team to open an inquiry, per the Daily Record.
It remains unclear whether the Kissimmee family's report led to any formal complaint, inspection or disciplinary action against Orange Lake Resort. What is known, per the family's account relayed to WKMG, is that a routine family vacation to central Florida's theme parks turned into a moment no parent wants to explain to a 3-year-old.
