Universal CityWalk vs Pleasure Island

If you are visiting either the Walt Disney World Resort or the Universal Orlando Resort in Central Florida on your next vacation you already know that you wont have to go far to find fun and entertainment. But, did you know that nighttime entertainment is also right around the corner at both theme park complexes? While you can always head to downtown Orlando to check out the nightlife, you don’t have to take the drive up Interstate 4 to access some of the best bars and clubs in the area, as Universal’s CityWalk and Disney’s Pleasure Island both feature nightly entertainment that will get you in the mood to party any time!

Downtown Disney Pleasure Island and CityWalk may sound very similar, and while it’s true that the two do have a lot in common, it is also important to point out the differences between them. First of all, Pleasure Island may have opened first, but rumor has it that CityWalk was actually in development about five years prior to either of the two nighttime developments’ arrival in Central Florida. Another major factor to point out is that Pleasure Island is just a small component of the family-friendly Downtown Disney complex while CityWalk caters more to adults with more hip and contemporary club and bar options than its Disney counterpart.

Among the establishments you will encounter at CityWalk are the Red Coconut Club, the newest venture that sits atop CityWalk, the groove – a dance club with a different theme each night – or Pat O’Brien’s, a re-creation of New Orleans’ favorite watering hole. Or, if you are looking to ‘waste away in Margaritaville,’ head on over to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, one of more than 10 restaurants situated at CityWalk. While some, like Jimmy Buffet’s, are themed restaurants, you also have upscale choices like Emeril’s Restaurant Orlando to choose from at CityWalk.

Downtown Disney Pleasure Island, on the other hand, features clubs and bars that each have a distinct theme. So, if it’s 80’s music you are into or the top 40 hits of today, there is a club to suit your fancy. With a new Irish pub, Pleasure Island’s first watering hole of its kind, PI (as it is commonly referred to) really does have something for everyone, from live music to even a comedy warehouse for a more low-key evening on the town. Pleasure Island sits in the midst of the Downtown Disney West Side, which is home to more trendy restaurants (House of Blues Orlando) and shops, and the Downtown Disney Marketplace, which is where you will find most families doing their souvenir shopping.

As we discussed earlier, however, there are many similarities between the two nighttime districts. Both have deals where you can purchase admission into all of the clubs for one price, although CityWalk’s is cheaper than Pleasure Island by almost $10. Universal also offers the CityWalk Party Pass and a Movie, which gives you admission into everything with the addition of a movie that evening as well. Both places also have a big-name show on their premises, as the world-famous Blue Man Group (CityWalk) and Cirque du Soleil (Downtown Disney) have chosen Central Florida as a permanent home.

Whether you are planning on visiting Universal’s CityWalk or Disney’s Pleasure Island, however, it is important to remember DWTickets.com in your vacation planning. Not only do we offer discounted theme park tickets, but we also have discounted ticket prices to Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil and Pleasure Island. So no matter what kind of entertainment you are looking for, day or night, DWTickets.com can help you enjoy it for less!

American Idol is Joining the Show at Disneys Hollywood Studios

Forget about Hollywood California American Idol is going to Hollywood via Orlando where YOU can be the star of the show all you need is a Disney Ticket and a dream.

Eligible participants start out by performing live in front of a show producer from Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney “American Idol” hopefuls audition throughout the day, and those found to have that special star power are sent backstage for vocal coaching. Then to help them look the part, contestants spend some time in hair and makeup.

The lucky few Disney Idols who make it through the first screening will then hit the stage for a live performance. And these Idols better leave any stage fright at home, because this show is in front of a real audience and those daunting “American Idol” judges (we’re pretty sure it won’t be Simon, though, so relax).

Singers that get the most votes in these live Disney Idol shows throughout the day will come together each night for a Grand Finale show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Whoever wins the Grand Finale each night at Disney will get a chance to audition for the real “American Idol” at a future regional competition.

If performing live on stage isn’t your thing, enjoy the show by being part of the studio audience. Better yet, be a judge! Either way, you need a ticket to get in. Luckily enough you can get cheap Disney tickets right here at DWTickets.com!

Disney officials said joining up with “American Idol” is a natural for the newly renamed Disney’s Hollywood Studios. “Idol” status as a pop icon fits right in with the “new Hollywood” theme the recently changed name represents.

Combining two of the most famous names in the world – Disney and “American Idol” – seems like a natural too. “Millions of people have imagined themselves standing on the “American Idol” stage,” said Jay Rasulo, Chairman of Disney Parks and Resorts, “We’re excited that we will be bringing this dream to life every day at Walt Disney World.”

You know you want to be the next American Idol.
Now you just need a Disney ticket and a dream.So get your cheap Disney tickets right now at DWTickets.com and get on with the show!

New Owners New Management, Same Old Fun

Cypress Gardens is a hidden gem of a theme park tucked away just outside of Orlando in Winter Haven Florida although many have heard of the park, it is not always an Orlando vacation must see. New owners have recently stepped up to change that, and DWTickets.com is right there with them, offering the best deals on cheap tickets to the best area theme parks and attractions, and of course, Cypress Gardens is on that list.

Cypress Gardens is the original Florida theme park. It was the first theme park to open in Florida – back in 1936, but over the past several years, the park saw some unfortunate times and even shut down for awhile. All that changed when new owners bought the park and saved the day last October. Expanding their salvation plan, those new owners announced earlier this month that they have partnered up with the Baker Leisure Group of Orlando to bring the oldest Florida theme park back to its former glory as a community staple and attraction that makes guests eagerly anticipate their next visit.

The new management company said “changes will range from cosmetic to cultural” and future visitors can expect a “more lively, interactive, engaging atmosphere.” The park’s beauty is legendary to anyone who has been there, and the new owners hope to use this natural setting to attract increased wedding business. Another draw is the historic “Starliner” roller coaster, the first wooden coaster in Florida that came to Cypress Gardens from a defunct theme park in Panama City Beach.

An additional crowd pleaser has been the outdoor concerts in the Cypress Gardens Star Haven Amphitheatre. Some really great acts have performed here recently, including Willie Nelson.

The upcoming schedule is as follows:

Feb. 3 Pat Boone
Feb. 9 Ray Price with special guest Connie Smith
Feb. 10 Juice Newton
Feb. 16 Loretta Lynn
Feb. 17 The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards
Feb. 23 George Jones
Feb. 24 Bill Haley’s Comets & The Knockouts

Whether you are here on vacation or a local looking for something different to do, spending the day at Cypress Gardens and taking in some live music in the amphitheatre is a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a day. And no one will help you do it better or cheaper than DWTickets.com, so click to it and check out the new Cypress Gardens today!

Valentines Day at Walt Disney World

Valentines Day is a day set aside for fun, for romance and for spending quality time with loved ones but it can also be a stressful time for those trying to think of ways to incorporate all three while being original and creative at the same time. If that rings a bell with you, or if you are having trouble thinking of somewhere to take your loved one this holiday, we have one suggestion that will include lots of fun and even more romance – the Walt Disney World Resort. Upon first glance, Disney may seem like a place only for families and small children, but further inspection reveals that the Walt Disney World theme parks are just as much – if not more – for adults than for kids. And if you decide to spend Valentine’s Day at any of these world-class theme parks, we are sure that by the end of the day you will agree with us!

First things first, however – to make your day at Disney possible, you are going to need tickets to get into the four Walt Disney World theme parks. If you are planning a vacation or a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway to Central Florida, DWTickets.com is the place to purchase your discounted Disney tickets to make this happen! DWTickets.com is your No. 1 online source for discounted tickets to Walt Disney World, the Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World Orlando and tons of other top attractions in and around the Orlando area. Click here now to purchase your tickets now to get started planning your Valentine’s Day activities!

Now that you have your tickets in order, it is important to plan ahead on what activities you may want to do and what parks you would like to hit on the big day. On February 14, 2008, the Magic Kingdom Park will be open from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m., with Disney’s Pirate and Princess Party being conducted that night from 7 p.m. until midnight (this party is a separate ticketed event). If you plan on a trip to this park, you can even get your Valentine’s Day started an extra hour early if you are staying at one of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels, as the Magic Kingdom Park will open at 8 a.m. for those guests only for Extra Magic Hours. This park is a beacon for romance, as you can pose for a picture in front of Cinderella Castle – or even eat inside at Cinderella’s Royal Table! This restaurant also offers a separate character dining experience for breakfast or lunch with members of the Disney royal family, and you can also dine with your favorite characters at the Crystal Palace (breakfast, lunch and dinner with Winnie the Pooh and friends) or have dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern with Minnie and her pals. If you are looking to keep your Valentine’s Day at a budget, then you may want to stop by the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. for some special Valentine’s Day merchandise that is only sold once a year!

Epcot is open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Valentine’s Day 2008, with IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth lighting up the World Showcase that evening at 9 p.m. sharp. Epcot may be the ideal place to spend this romantic holiday, as it is the most adult-oriented park at Walt Disney World. This park also gives you tons of options for your perfect Valentine’s Day meal, as you can pick any of the 11 countries around the World Showcase to dine in, meaning you could be eating authentic French cuisine in the France pavilion or dining amongst the stars at the San Angel Inn in the Mexico pavilion. But wherever you do decide to eat that evening, make sure you are finished in time to catch the amazing fireworks/light show that is IllumiNations.

If you are planning a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Valentine’s Day, you can enjoy all of the action of Hollywood from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on this day, with the can’t-miss Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade passing through the streets at 3 p.m. and their nightly showing of Fantasmic! taking place at 7 p.m. If you are planning on having a nice dinner before the show (The Hollywood Brown Derby is their signature restaurant), you may also want to look in to the Fantasmic! dinner package, which gets you priority seating at both a restaurant in the park and special guaranteed reserved seating at the show that evening.

Celebrating Your Love in Orlando

Ok so its likely that thoughts of Mickey Mouse and Shamu swarm your mind when you ponder an Orlando vacation but Central Florida has its share of romantic escapes too. If you’re looking for a way to rekindle that old flame this Valentine’s Day, DWTickets.com has what you need: discount tickets to whichever theme park may be your heart’s desire.

A day spent at Discovery Cove is just the thing to spark the romance in any relationship. The bottlenose dolphins at this hidden oasis are excellent at helping you propose marriage, and with three Valentine’s Day packages available through February 29, they will delightfully swim over to drop off your notes of adoration and special gifts too.

The Valentine Honey Package includes a personalized love message on a keepsake buoy, a souvenir photo with frame and decadent chocolate treats. The Valentine Sweetheart Package adds in a personal beach cabana fronting Dolphin Lagoon and a champagne toast for two.

The Valentine Romance Package pulls out all the stops. It combines the Honey and Sweetheart Packages and enhances them with a dozen red roses and a keepsake DVD to look back on your amazing day! All special occasion package costs are in addition to Discovery Cove admission, which you can find discounted right here at your one-stop ticket shop, DWTickets.com!

If the beach isn’t your thing, Cypress Gardens invites you to express your love at the Bows and Arrows Valentine Festival the weekend of February 14-17. Couples celebrating here can renew their wedding vows in a special ceremony while shrouded in the beauty of the park’s Topiary Gardens. A special package includes the renewal ceremony, a commemorative certificate and a souvenir photograph to remind you of your love and this extraordinary day. After you retake that plunge, enjoy a magical ride around the park on a horse-drawn carriage or a dreamy stroll through the exquisite botanical gardens with nothing on your mind but each other. Later, enjoy an amorous dinner and champagne toast on the patio at Aunt Julie’s.

Kids need love too, so on the less romantic side, the young ones can stop by the Valentine Headquarters and create a unique – if not so lovey-dovey – one-of-a-kind Cypress Gardens Valentine.

It doesn’t matter what theme park you choose for your heartfelt celebration, you will love the cheap theme park tickets available at DWTickets.com.

Busch Parks Openings Are On The Horizon

The Anheuser Busch theme parks in Central Florida are prepping for an exciting spring season with the opening of a brand new water park in Orlando and the introduction of an innovative and fresh animal habitat at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Lucky for you, DWTickets.com can hook you up with tickets to be one of the premier visitors to these great new additions to the Central Florida vacation scene. We are your number one source for cheap theme park tickets to great Anheuser Busch parks like Sea World, Busch Gardens, and Discovery Cove.
Add to that already impressive list of great attractions Aquatica, an innovative water park that combines the two things SeaWorld does best: water and animals. Aquatica is the first full-sized theme park to open in Orlando since Discovery Cove starting serving guests back in 2000. It is also the first water park to come along since Blizzard Beach opening at the Walt Disney World Resort. But Aquatica is far from being your average water park.

Of course Aquatica has all of the adventurous attractions you would expect to find in a modern water playground: wave pools, tube rides, and 36 different water slides! In true SeaWorld fashion, however, this new-fangled aquatic extravaganza dishes out unique animal interactions in a tropical South-Pacific atmosphere with personalized service in private cabanas on an 80,000 square foot beach. It’s the crazy fun of a water park combined with the relaxation of a tropical island resort. See why we can’t wait for the public soft opening on March 1?

Across the state at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, they are getting ready to unveil their newest adventure, the long-awaited Jungala. This four-acre addition to the Congo area of the park will completely immerse guests in a dense jungle atmosphere while leading adventurers down woody paths past waterfalls and towering trees to the hidden habitats of Bengal tigers, orangutans and other exotic creatures.

The grand opening of Jungala is scheduled for April 5. The night before, Busch Gardens will host the “Jungala Gala.” Guests at this annual benefit can be the first to explore “the only jungle world that plays with you” while raising money for the nonprofit Sea World & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund.

If you were not already planning an Orlando vacation this spring, you now have two great reasons to start arranging one. And DWTickets.com is the only place to get all of the discount theme park tickets you will need.

Injury Reports and Ride Safety

DWTickets is your best resource for cheap theme park tickets if you are planning an Orlando vacation the safest bet is to get all of your discount tickets in one place – right here at DWTickets.com. We are your one-stop shop for cheap theme park tickets to Universal Orlando, Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Walt Disney World and more.

We are also the best information source for all things theme park in Orlando, including how to keep your family safe while you are in town. At DWTickets.com we are interested in keeping you safe physically and financially. That is why we always have the best advice and the best discounts on tickets to all of Orlando’s theme parks.

Last week, the 2007 year-end injury reports came in from Orlando’s major theme parks, and all things considered the results are quite good. When you consider the sheer number of people that visit the Orlando theme parks each day, it really is encouraging to see such a small number of serious incidents (just four in the last three months of 2007).

Some accidents are caused by a physical illness, but many can be avoided by focusing on safety. Even though you are on vacation, you still need to play it safe! Here’s how:

Always pay attention to the warning signs posted on rides. Yes, Orlando is family friendly, but some of the attractions are still kind of crazy. When it says don’t ride if you have certain physical conditions, take heed. They post those warnings for a reason.

Keep cool and hydrated. The Florida sun is ferocious – even on a cloudy day - and the heat and humidity can sneak up on you. Always drink plenty of water throughout the day and make sure to wear sunscreen and reapply it as necessary. Even if you’re not at the beach, the sun is still shining on you!

Stay aware of your surroundings and watch your kids. Again, we know you are on vacation, but it is still important to watch where you are going, keep track of what is around you and pay attention to what the little ones are getting into.

Just a bit of attention to safety can prevent a possible accident, so play it safe while you are in the parks and before you leave too. Get your tickets at DWTickets.com, the safest bet in Orlando when it come to cheap theme park tickets.

For the top-of-the-line cuisine, you can opt for the California Grill, located on the top floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. With a perfect outside balcony that overlooks the Magic Kingdom Park, a perfect dinner can be topped off with a perfect view of Wishes, the nighttime fireworks spectacular that illuminates the sky over Cinderella Castle. Or, you could cross just over the Seven Seas Lagoon to Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (inquire about the chefs table located exclusively for one couple per night inside the kitchen – complete with your own maid and butler) or try out Narcoossee’s, which is located directly on the waterfront. If either of those restaurants don’t offer you the privacy that you are looking for, this hotel also offers private dining out on the beach each evening. Simply call 407-824-2578 to set up a private meal, or 407-WDW-DINE up to 180 days in advance for reservations at any Disney full-service restaurant.

Finally, if you are looking for a more unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Disney resort hotels also offer many different ways for couples to enjoy themselves in less traditional ways. For example, you could take a 45-minute horseback tour or carriage ride through the wilderness at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds (407-939-7529), or trek to “Martha’s Vineyard” at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, where you will find a wine bar and plenty of seating for two! And, a perfect way to end any day at Disney is aboard a fireworks cruise, where you can sail away to watch either Wishes or Illuminations from your own private boat. And lastly, if a day spent in is what you had in mind, Disney can hand-deliver flowers to your room via their very own private florist (407-827-3505). In other words, as Walt Disney once said – “if you can dream it, (Disney) can do it.”

Happy Valentine’s Day!
