    I went to downtown Orlando to party. Everyone was cool however, there were no “Black” parties going on. Apparently, I missed the Hip Hop night. I ended up still having fun. Sugar Factory is lit!!!

    Traveling While Black

    Okay, so anybody that knows me also knows that I’ve stood strong in my argument that Universal Studios/Islands Of Adventure is waaaaay better than Disney World. I’d have 2 hour long back-and-forth debates with my lady explaining to her that Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure is the place to be to have fun as an adult. My lady would argue that there’s so much to do And see in Disney and how it’s all “magical” and everything. Being the stubborn and strong opinionated person I am, I remained in denial….UNTIL…. I went with her family to Disney World for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival in September 2019. Let me tell you plain and simple…. I AM A CHANGED MAN lol! Not only did I have an AMAZING experience, but I literally felt like a big ass kid again lol! As an avid foodie, the endless circle of cuisine and beverages from countries of over the world like Australia, Japan, Canada, France, Italy, Africa, and so many more literally had me in a frenzy! What’s dope is that my lady bought us the deluxe cod package in which we had literally HUNDREDS of credits to use for the multitude of snack bars and restaurants throughout Epcot and Disney in general, including premium restaurants that are typically very pricy and hard to land a reservation for (Le Cellier and Cinderella’s Castle for example).

    From themed simulation rides, to snacks, and drinks, and food and then more rides, more snacks, more drinks, and MORE FOOD, I mean I was a happy camper to say the least. I had an amazing time and being with people that I love and enjoy being around made the experience that much more fulfilling!

    Long story short, YA BOY IS A DISNEY FAN, DAMN IT! And I am proud of it! So if there any other men that read this who are just as reluctant about Disney as I was, I implore you to let your guard down and visit Disney during the food and wine festival, and I guarantee that your feelings will change!

    PRO TIP: Get the Deluxe food package and you can stay in Disney for a week with your family and still not have to worry about food.

    Orlando is well known for its theme parks! You can spend the entire trip at Disney World, Universal Studios including its waterpark, Volcano Bay. On our last trip, we were traveling with young kids and wanted a few alternatives to the them parks. We ended up visiting Leu Gardens, which was absolutely beautiful and much larger than envisioned. It is essentially a botanical gardens there. Lake Eola Park was another great option! We rented a swan boat for about 30 minutes to paddle around the lake. There were a few scenic structures we enjoyed as we navigated through the park.

    For the Swan Boat Rentals, the regular price is $15 for 30min. There was also a groupon deal for $11.50.

    I have been to Orlando every summer since I was a kid and it never gets old to me! We always get a hotel on International Drive because they are very affordable and close to all of the major theme parks such as Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and many more! On my last visit I had a chance to go to the newest theme park Volcano Bay which is a part of Universal Studios. Every visitor in the park is given a wearable watch called tapu tapu which is a virtual line so that you don’t have to physically wait in line…Very unique experience. If you decide to go there I would suggest that you make sure the date that you choose when you’re purchasing your ticket is actually the date that you want to go because if you arrive at the gate and your tickets say a different date than the actual date they will turn you around. At Universal resort they have the Universal Studios park and Island of Adventure park… Island of Adventures have the most roller coasters ….Universal Studios have more of the theater rides…. there is an option to do two parks in one day but I find that extremely tiring… plus if you go on a busy day the lines can be up to 70 to 90 minutes long so we do 1 park a day

    I have been to Orlando countless times for family vacations and solo vacations. I have been to Universal Studios, EPCOT, and Disney World. My most recent trip to Disney World was a lot of fun because I was older and able to appreciate the entirety of it a lot more. Disney World isn’t just for children, although that’s their target market, they have BeerFests and adult activities as well. My favorite part of Disney a world was magic Kingdom. I’m a child at heart so seeing the parades was a lot of fun. I recommend getting fast passes for the Avatar Ride (I went on that like 5 times), as well as the Yeti Ride. If you’re going to go to Disney World and you what the FULL experience, I suggest you go for at least a week so that you’re able to see each park in its entirety.

    I really had to review my city! Orlando has so much to do, other than Disney and Universal. We have International Drive with many attractions, Kings Bowling, Pointe Orlando Mall (Improv, BB Kings, Taverna Opa,) For nightlife it can be hit or miss some places to go downtown is: Ember, Eve, Wall Street (Row of Bars), Vintage that will play a good mix of hip-hop and R&B. The best time to come is in May for the Caribbean Carnival and all those festivities. Gotta love the “City Beautiful”!

    I just came back from Orlando where I rented a 5 bedroom 5 bathroom vacation house that cost about $1,200.00 for 4 days. It was an amazing experience where instead of paying around the same price per person for a hotel we were able to get a house and have our privacy including a pool and jacuzzi, a water park on the resort, concierge service and free shuttle service to all of the Disney parks. If you are going to Orlando to visit the parks it is very costly but Orlando is relaxing, quiet and peaceful place to vacay. I haven’t been down there in a while but I was happy to go back and would def recommend if traveling with a group to look into renting a home instead of a hotel room. I will be back down there soon enough!
