Events Going on In and Around Orlando

TGIF - this is your official DW Blog Man wishing everyone a very happy Friday and a great weekend. Just wanted to share some new and exciting events that are happening around Orlando. First of all, Congratulations are in order for the Orlando Magic, who have made the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2003. The Orlando Magic will be playing the Detroit Pistons in the 1st Round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs, and will be hosting two games in Orlando on Thursday, April 26, and Saturday April 28 at Amway Arena. GO MAGIC !

New in town is the Tommy Bahama Cafe on International Drive. The Tommy Bahama store has been around a while in Pointe Orlando, right in the heart of the tourist district, but now a delicious cafe has opened. The drink specials are great, the food is hearty, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The Flower and Garden Festival is still going strong at EPCOT in Disney World, and will be running until the beginning of June. There is a rumor that SOARIN' at EPCOT will be turned into "SOARIN' over America" by 2008. Currently, the ride is all about the state of California, but the new edition is in the works. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and see you down here in Orlando, Florida !

Orlando Magic Basketball

The Orlando Magic are on the attack! I wanted to write another blog about the NBA because the season is winding down and the Orlando Magic are heating up. The Orlando Magic are on a winning streak and the energy is filling the arena. There are only about 10 games left in the regular season, and the Orlando Magic are looking to make the NBA playoffs for the first time in a few years. The Miami Heat are still coming to town with Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade looking to make some noise. The Orlando Magic happen to have one of the hottest teams in the NBA, and the crowd at the game is like one big party. The Orlando Magic have exciting players, talented cheerleaders, exciting halftime shows, and great food. I love going to Magic games when I get a chance, but I will be at every single game for the next month because basketball in April is intense. I would like to say thank you to the Orlando Magic for providing local entertainment to myself and all the people in Orlando that got the chance to see these guys play their hearts out. Good luck, and GO ORLANDO MAGIC !
