DS Update: Right Before Everything Closed

We were out at beautiful Pleasure Island in mid-February, 2020, right before the shit hit the fan with the Covid-19 closures. At that moment, we just had no idea.

CW Update: John Lennon Room Atop Hard Rock Live Is Open

The John Lennon Room atop Hard Rock Live in Universal CityWalk is now open to the public on Friday and Saturday nights. There's a bar up there, a DJ spinning and impressive views of the CityWalk complex. As indicated, open 9PM to midnight on those two nights. This is typically rental event space so can't wait to check it out and report back.

 

Uni Update: Horror Make Up Show To Be Refreshed

My favorite attraction at Universal Studios is the Horror Make Up Show. I could sit through it multiple times in one visit to the park and never get bored. But one of our readers reported that the attraction is going to be closing.....but probably just temporarily.

Not sure if it's considered an expensive attraction to operate. There are two main actors for each show, a Tech and usually one or two lobby people. The actors are presumably well-paid; we've seen many of them over-and-over again during multiple years so they seem to be doing well.

 

So supposedly this is just going to be refreshed. We hope that's all it is because as corny as the gags are, it's one of a kind and so funny. If you typically walk right by this place, give it a try.

Concert Report: DJ Kaskade (Universal Studios)

The Mardi Gras concert series for this year kicked-off last night at Universal Studios and our sister website Orlando Entertainment News was there to see it. Pics are posted HERE.

Club Reports: 480N Wine Bar, Abyss @ Good Times Bar & Grill

DJ Cub (USA) and DJ Mighty Shari (USA) delivered a mix of 70's Disco and Nu Disco last night at the grand opening of 480N Wine Bar in Winter Park Village. Friday night photos can be found on our sister website Orlando Entertainment News HERE.

DS Update: Pop Gallery?

When we came across this kiosk in Riverboat Square back in the summer of 2021, we forgot to ask whether the owner was the same young woman that owned the original Pop Gallery located in Downtown Disney West Side. That location, in an alley between the theaters and the bowling alley, was larger than this kiosk but not by much. The original location is now home to doughnut specialist Everglazed.

It's been more than a decade since we've visited SeaWorld Orlando but we flew next to it this morning on my Frontier Airlines Atlanta to Orlando flight. You'll find it in the above photo in the middle, center right. We really need to get back out there again; it's a unique product in this city of theme parks.

 

DS Update: SNOW!

Come on out to Disney Springs this morning (or any morning) and you will spot some snow atop T-REX Cafe! 

 

Concert Report: Lioness (Melbourne)

The Red Coconut Club at Universal CityWalk is morphing into Cursed Coconut Club in time for Mardi Gras. Opening night is Saturday, February 7th which is also the night of the first Mardi Gras concert series event featuring DJ Kaskade (USA). Sister website Orlando Entertainment News plans to visit both. Maybe we'll see you at one or both events!

 

PI Update: Were You At Mannequins On The Final Night?

Were you at Mannequins on the final night? The night it got so crowded that the weight of all the patrons on the revolving dance floor caused it to come to a stop? The night the "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" encore played by DJ Peapod (USA) and DJ Dave Cannalte (USA) was heard by the hundreds there and thousands around the world via the internet? Today we reminisce about that night by linking you to our article about from the Final Night as posted back in 2008. LINK
