There is a small but lively swing dancing scene in Orlando.    Unfortunately if you’re vacationing on the Disneyland side of Orlando, you’ll find you’re on totally the wrong side of town – Continue reading this post…

If you’re a ballroom dancer wondering where to spend your next vacation, here’s an idea!  The upcoming United States Dance Championships® (USDC) are due to be held in Orlando on September 7th to 11th 2010. Continue reading this post…

If you’re a tanguero, a vacation without tango is unthinkable!   So if you’re vacationing in Orlando, you need to know where to find the action.

I can tell you that the place to tango in Orlando is Patio de la Morocha. They hold a milonga every Saturday at 8.30 (which usually winds up around 2 a.m.).   Note that the second Saturday of every month is dedicated to Street Latin rather than tango. Continue reading this post…

Have you ever been to a summer intensive ballet camp? If you’re over eleven (and have started pointe work, for girls), you’re eligible to audition for the Orlando Ballet Intensive which takes place in June/July each year. Continue reading this post…

If you’re a belly dancer and are considering an Orlando vacation, have you thought about doing some belly dancing while you’re there?

Yes, I know you’re on vacation, but bellydancing isn’t work, is it?  Remember that exposure to other teachers and other styles is important if you want to develop and improve your dancing – and there are some terrific belly dance teachers in and around Orlando.

My personal favorite is Suspira of Orlando Bellydance in Winter Park.    She has 20 years’ experience in Middle Eastern dance, and has danced for the President of Turkey and the Prince of Morocco!  If you’d like to get a taste of her teaching before you go, I can heartily recommend her Bellydance with Suspira DVD series.

September 4th to the 6th is Labor Day weekend 2010, only two weeks away. There will be lots of small activities and events going on around Orlando, Florida this Labor day as always.

Normally you don’t find any real big special events going on Labor Day weekend, just more people out doing the fun summer things they always do to have fun before school starts and fall sets in.

In fact Labor Day weekend is sort of seen as the last weekend many get out and do fun summer things. It’s seen in lots of the country as the end of summer and lots of seasonal places close down after Labor Day weekend.

I thought I’d give all the tourist a heads up today on a subject that has been in the local news here. When people rent a car at the Orlando airport, it’s only natural that they stop at a gas station close by before taking it back.

However if you do that, don’t pick a gas station very close to the airport, at least not on route 436, otherwise known as Semoran Blvd. which is just north of the airport.

The reason is that some gas stations close by the airport will charge much more per gallon than other gas stations. They know that it will be mostly tourist in a hurry to get back to the rental car place.

Click here to see Orlando Pet Services website

Well everyone, today I wanted to share my latest website I made! Since this site is about Orlando theme parks and attractions, I thought I would open up a site about Orlando area pet services, pet stores, pet shops and more.

Now, even though it’s about Orlando pet services, it also will have plenty of general pet care, reviews and information about pets that anyone can find helpful even if they are not coming to Orlando.

But for those that are or live in Orlando, Orlando Pet Services will really be a helpful site for you. I will make reviews about the local dog parks, where to find specialty pet food and treats, pet friendly hotels and bars in Orlando and so on.

One of the biggest problems people face when they go to a theme park is where to put their stuff when they go on a ride? Almost all rides at theme parks today do not allow you to hold or bring anything with you.

That includes purses, bottles and camera bags around your neck or shoulder. Anything that moves around will not be allowed on. It does not matter if you insist that you can hold onto it, ride operators have rules they have to follow. And one is, nobody brings anything on a ride!

Backpacks also are not permitted on most rides because you can’t get into the seat without taking it off. If you do have bulky items like these there are lockers you can get to put your items in while your on rides.

Well everyone, when you live in Orlando, you go somewhere else on vacation! Since I’m from Vermont I’m going up for a visit in a couple of weeks. So I thought I’d share some travel tips with you.

I’m taking a non stop flight up and back, I hate stop overs. I bought my tickets online, and the day before I’ll check in online at home as well. Then I just print out my tickets at home.

I’m taking only two carry ons. One will be my laptop case, which will have my laptop and any small electronics, like my phone, flash cards and so on. The other will be a duffel bag just under the size restriction for carry ons.

Well everyone, I made a mistake! I was suppose to have made this post a few weeks ago but it somehow got pushed up this late. I wanted to tell you all about this years Gay Days events in Orlando and Disney.

This year Gay Days is from June 1st to the 7th, this week! So I’m sorry this is late, and might not be of any use to you. But there is still a few more days to go at Gay Days, so what the heck.

In case you don’t know what Gay Days is, it’s an annual event in the Orlando area that attracts many gay tourist. It’s a week where there are many special events, parties and get to-gathers that attracts millions of gay tourist, who in turn spend millions of dollars here.

It’s also a time when many gays go to Disney and wear red shirts to show their support of gays around the world. Disney has some special events going on for Gay Days, as they want that money!
