Two years ago, late March. Covid19 was raging the world and Disney Spring was no different. |
Everything was closed and no one was here except Security. Hard to believe this ever occurred. |
This is the final weekend for Barbarella before they move away from downtown!
FRIDAY APR 1 Barbarella Sunday Night Vinyl (80's & 90's)
SATURDAY APR 2 Barbarella FINAL NIGHT (80's New Wave)
SATURDAY APR 2 Gilt Concert Venue DJ Wolfgang Gartner (USA)
SATURDAY APR 2 Elixir Bar Phoenix Jagger & Pacho Berrocal (USA)
SUNDAY APR 3 Elixir Bar DJ Dennis Cruz (E)
Disney Springs has returned live entertainment at night but they still have not returned "Late Night" entertainment to the Springs. There are still no DJ shows playing until 1AM, something that existed pre-covid19. This is odd because nearly everything has returned to normal at the theme parks yet they won't return Disney Springs to normal. The bands, singers and instrumentalists playing at the Springs all end by 11PM during the week and 11:30PM on Friday & Saturday nights. If you're ever wishing to see the Disney Springs entertainment lineup, click here. This is updated weekly. |
DJ Heather Collins (USA) was just one of the great DJ's that played at last night's "Sunshine State of Bass" event in Miami and the pics have now been posted to Orlando Entertainment News here. |
DJ Icey (USA) was one of the headliners at Galaxy Music Gathering in Miami and all the event pics have posted to our sister website Orlando Entertainment News here. |
Miami Music Week is underway and we spent Wednesday afternoon at the Nexus Radio Lounge in South Beach. You can find the pictures we took on our sister website Orlando Entertainment News here. |
With this week being Miami Music Week, nearly everyone in the business is down there playing shows or networking. Thus, there is very little taking place in Orlando.
FRIDAY MAR 25 Grumpy's Underground DJ Berto (USA)
FRIDAY MAR 25 Barbarella DJ Rob (USA)
So what is going on at CityWalk? Last week we got a chance to visit the complex so today we have this status update on Orlando Entertainment News here. |
It’s not often we get out on a Sunday night but this being Miami Music Week and all, here we were! Beginning the night with DJ Guz (NL). Sunday night pics are on OEN here. |
There's no school like the old school and last night's Unity concert at Ace Cafe featured names such as 2 Bad Mice (GB) pictured above. You can find all of last night's pics on OEN here! |
Latin Quarter memories last night as we ran into DJ Leony (USA) and Gaby Calderon from Rumba 100.3 over at Mango's. All the pictures are on our sister website Orlando Entertainment News here. |
Last night our sister website Orlando Entertainment News paid a visit to Universal CityWalk to check out their St. Patrick's Day party. The pictures can be found here. |
Last week we had technical difficulties which forced us to "type" the upcoming weekend's events. We will continue in that format for the time-being because I kind of like it and it's certainly a lot easier than posting flyers. For now, anyway.

The AllEars website is reporting refurbishment changes are coming to Disney's Boardwalk Resort in the coming months. However, there is no mention of any changes to the Boardwalk's two nightclubs Atlantic Dance Hall or Jellyrolls. You can read the article in this LINK. |
It was so cold out last night that it was hard to remain seated for the Billy Joel (USA) concert at Camping World Stadium! We did get a few pictures though and you can see them on Orlando Entertainment News here. |
Firestone, The Club at Firestone, Firestone Live and Venue 578 are all prior names for this completely renovated club now known at The Vanguard. Our sister website Orlando Entertainment News was there last night to see DJ duo Cosmic Gate (D). The pics are here. |
10 Years Ago This Month: A reopened Laffers Cantina was drawing a crowd for drinks. |
10 Years Ago This Month: A darkened Adventurers Club had already had the club's name above the doorway plastered over but it otherwise looked rather hopeful. |
10 Years Ago This Month: Things looked much brighter though at Mannequins, lit up in all its glory. Surely, absolutely surely, the club would reopen some day! |
Sorry, have been unable to get upload feature working this morning and again tonight so we will go with a typed listing instead to avoid further delay.

Half way down Hill Street on Pleasure Island you will find this unlocked entry gate. |
And if you go through that gate, you'll be in an open-air service corridor. |
DJ Kimball Collins (USA) was in the booth as our sister website Orlando Entertainment News made the rounds downtown last night. You can see the pics here. |
We last saw DJ Mynd (USA) playing at Atlantic Dance Hall in Walt Disney World but last night we found him at a downtown Orlando street dance. The pics are on our sister website Orlando Entertainment News here. |
In case you're not aware, the concert hall at House of Blues in Disney Springs West Side is open for business again! Check out www.hob.com/orlando to see if there is anything of interest to you. Lots of name bands booked mostly so far; the only DJ's we spotted were trio Black Tiger Sex Machine (CDN) coming on April 9th. It's great to see concerts again being booked at HOB! |
Do you remember the original Planet Hollywood at Downtown Disney and its adjacent tower with lighted PH globe atop it? |
When renovations were announced to turn it into Planet Hollywood Observatory, concept art also showed the tower would contain an observation deck around half way up that tower. |
After construction had begun, there was still an observation deck protruding from the top of the restaurant's dome with a blue light at the top of the tower! |
This is Planet Hollywood today. The "Observatory" portion of the name was never used much and is no longer even referenced. There's no observation deck. |
I'm not even sure we got the blue light! |
