How One Miraculous Hotel Has Become a Global Inspiration: Magic Moment Becomes the First Dazzler Select in the United States

If you’ve spent time in Orlando, you’ve probably heard of Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club. It’s the bright, family-first boutique hotel in Kissimmee that feels designed by actual parents, not by a boardroom. 

But now, there’s bigger news: Magic Moment Resort has joined Dazzler Select by Wyndham, making it the first Dazzler Select hotel in the United States. Same hotel. Bigger stage. 

An iconic partnership

Magic Moment Resort being named as Wyndham’s first Dazzler Select hotel in the US works because it’s simple. Dazzler Select is built for independent hotels with a strong identity. Owners keep their names, styles, and voices, while Wyndham brings its reach, technology, and, of course, its renowned Wyndham Rewards loyalty program. 

“We started as a family-run hotel and built a real connection with guests,” says Magic Moment Resort co-owner Carina Radonich. “To be invited into Wyndham’s global family without losing who we are is an honor. We’re proud to be the first Dazzler Select resort in the US.”

The family-first spark

Walk the Magic Moment Resort property, and you get it. The pool sits under overhanging palm trees. Kids’ spaces actually invite play. The atmosphere is upbeat but calm. Staff greet you by name and offer tips that save time and hassle. 

Everything points to one idea: life is made by moments; make them count with your family. 

That idea shows up in the details: a breathtaking playground where many kids want to stay and play, a heated outdoor pool with premium cabanas for every guest, no upsells, and a hot breakfast buffet that covers all the basics and adds some extra small surprises. It’s the everyday details that tell a story, like Tutto Exquisito, the on-site cafe with Starbucks coffee and pastries you don’t have to wait in a theme park line to get.

For families with small children, vacation doesn’t have to start at 9:00 pm for the adults once the kids finally wind down. It starts ‌the moment you step onto the resort. Magic Moment was built to protect that and will continue to make it a priority. 

What becoming the Pioneer Dazzler Select means for families

As the first Dazzler Select hotel in the US, travelers who already trust Wyndham will naturally discover Magic Moment Resort. Now, guests can get the same family-centered experience with a few new perks, including easier, more flexible booking and the ability to earn and redeem Wyndham Rewards points.

But the heart stays the same. The team, the energy, and the mission are unchanged. For Magic Moment Resort, joining Dazzler Select was never about becoming something. It’s about letting more families find what was already working. 

Orlando takes the spotlight

When Wyndham evaluated properties across the US, Orlando came out on top, but this wasn’t just a win for one hotel. It was a win for Orlando that helps keep The City Beautiful at the center of hospitality innovation. It reinforces something locals already know: Orlando isn’t just about theme parks. It’s about the people and places that make the moments in between even better. 

“We opened almost 10 years ago with a dream to create something meaningful,” Radonich says. “And now, families from all over will get to experience what makes Orlando hospitality special.”

The magic continues

With this partnership, Magic Moment isn’t changing. It’s growing. If anything, this milestone is proof of what made the hotel special in the first place: a belief that the best part of a family trip isn’t the rides or the fireworks or even the big plans. 

The best part of a family trip is the small moments. The poolside giggles, the breakfast table stories, the last hug before bed after a long, happy day. 

Magic Moment is built on those moments. And now, those moments have gotten a bigger stage and get to be shared with more families.
