Summer endings and fall beginnings

Summer is almost over and now its time to enjoy Labor Day weekend before we start welcoming the fall in the upcoming weeks. There are many great events happening in Orlando that are still available for the summer or soon to come for the fall season for guests to enjoy.

Seaworld is still featuring its fun after dark event, which will run until Labor Day. Watch Shamu steal the show with Shamu rocks, a show full of music & amazing stunts. The nighttime action-packed show Bayside Jet show is a must see! Throughout the park there are DJ’s pumping up the atmosphere with music along with dining and shopping after dark!

The 13th annual Epcot food and wine festival starting September 26 until November 9 where you can treat your taste buds and savor special foods from around the world will host a whole new lineup of the eat to the beat concert series with entertainers such as Boyz II Men, En Vogue, David Cassidy and many more!

Disney’s Night of Joy and Universal Studios are both hosting two Christian music events.
Disney’s Night Of Joy will be held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios featuring Contemporary Christian music artists such as Casting Crowns, TobyMac, Rush of Fools and many others.
Universal Studios hosts a similar event called Rock the Universe! Featuring Christian rock bands and celebrity guest speakers. Both of these events will be held on September 5 and 6.

These events are a perfect way to start off the Labor Day weekend! As summer slowly says goodbye, start making room for the new & exciting things fall has in store.

Hotel Guests Complain


In a recent article on HotelMotel.com complaints about the stay at a hotel are on the rise. Like me, you have been a guest at a hotel and many times and found the room unprepared or dirty, or the personal heating/air conditioning unit unable to reach a comfortable temperature, etc... The list of goes on and on.



The majority of complaints about stays in hotels concern the professionalism, or lack there of, of the staff. A lot of the time the first impression made at check-in was when some guests reported being treated rudely. Thin walls and noise pollution were also major complaints made by guests in their 40's and up.
