    Orlando, Florida is one of the big destinations for trade shows. I believe that Orlando and Las Vegas, Nevada are the two main destinations for trade shows in the United States of America. The convention center is overall a pretty good convention center. It is large and there is a lot of parking (though parking is pretty expensive. Today was twenty something dollars to park). The inside is spacious and they do have a food court (though expensive). I would recommend stepping outside and seeing what restaurants are within walking distance. If a trade show brings you to Orlando, Florida, enjoy it while you are here. Go hang out on International Drive and enjoy the total experience of Orlando, Florida.

    Convention Center is amazing. Is super spacious. Staff is wow, and the food is delicious.

    This convention center is very large and spacious with multiple hotels connected or nearby. We came for a volleyball tournament and the floor could easily hold over 100 volleyball courts and much more. It's great for events. The exhibition floor had a good number of restrooms every 100 yards or so along the walls. This was very convenient. There was a great selection of food carts such as Nathan's hot dogs, taste of Asia, arroz con pollo, smoothies and several more. The food was ok but food service was not friendly nor caring. Their large refreshments cafeteria had mediocre staff with only two options, papa John's pizza or chicken fingers in the empty cafeteria. Best options to eat is to go to nearby restaurants outside the convention center if you have time.

    Beautiful scenery from the flight Lots of restaurants close by to try. Great space for work trips. Plenty of space to be productive yet also plenty of pool time to be had. Beach

    I've been here twice for two conferences. It's probably one of the largest, if not THE largest convention centers in the country. Highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes because you will be walking a lot. I wish there was a cafeteria of some sort rather than small vendors. The vendors offer pizza, sandwiches, Chinese food. There was one healthyish option of chicken with salad and beans. I encourage buying food a few minutes before lunch because the lines get really long. Hotels are all around the convention center and some are connected through a skybridge, so you don't have to take a cab or walk on the sidewalk. The skybridge has a roof so you can walk to the conference without getting wet. Enjoy!

    Cool convention center.

    This is a very nice convention center. It has covered walkways to at least 2 hotels to make things convenient. The lobby area is very bright and welcoming. Areas are clearly marked. I did find the actual huge convention area to be rather stifling. Circulation was poor and the air very muggy. Not comfortable to be walking a large show. Also, for such a large area, I would have thought they would have more, or larger, comfort stations. I managed to find one that fit the venue, but the one that most people used was small with only a few stalls. That is a definite design flaw. It was convenient, but they need to work on the circulation issue.

    I believe this is the largest convention center (or one of) in the country. It's enormous. So much space. I've been here for the HIMSS exposition. Clean. Modern.

    Enjoyed a lovely evening with my hubby attending the Central Florida International Auto show. There were just about every auto mobile brand sold in the US on display here (besides BMW)! The set up was great, very clean and organized and almost every brand had additional displays and interactive technology play area for the entire family with much information. We attended on the last night and it was family night so they offered additional savings for entry and activities for kids. What was most interesting is they offered obstacle driving demos that contained very large hills and bridges for customers to drive 4x4 Jeeps to get a feel of their off road vehicles right inside the building. They even offered a few car simulations for the entire family. All in all I enjoyed myself but I really look forward to the concept car show during the summer season.

    I got say.. Orlando Convention Center has got to be, one of the nicest Convention Center I've been to. They had tons of wall outlets to charge your phone, and they even have sofa where you can rest outside the conference hall all around. Bathrooms were clearly mark and they were easy access and tons of them. There were Starbucks kiosks during busy morning and lunch, and also at their concession stand. I can't thank you enough for a great experience because the staff here were all wonderful!!

    This convention center is large and extremely nice. I go to a lot of trade shows all over the USA and thus is one of the best spots.

Communication was inconsistent, promises were made and then ignored, and it often felt like their main concern was collecting money rather than providing the service that was advertised. I found many aspects of the rental process to be misleading and deceptive. Expectations that were set during booking did not match the reality of what was provided. When concerns were raised, there was little accountability and no genuine effort to resolve the issues. A reputable business should stand behind its word, but unfortunately that was not my experience here. What should have been a special and enjoyable event became stressful and frustrating due to poor management and a lack of professionalism. Trust is important when booking a venue, especially for important occasions, and this venue failed to earn or maintain that trust. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this venue and would strongly encourage others to do thorough research before booking. There are many other venues that value their customers and operate with honesty and integrity. Save yourself the headache and avoid this venue at all costs.

SeaWorld is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with lots of special events and holiday eats through the end of the year. The first stop was a ride on Manta. This flying roller coaster with head-first, face-down inverted nosedive makes you feel like you're flying through the water just like a manta ray. For those that didn't want to ride, the Manta Aquarium has over 100 rays and thousands of colorful fish to view at a much slower pace. * Energy Saving Tip: SeaWorld Orlando has one of 6 solar powered Coca Cola vending machines in the world. The machine has 3 solar panels on top to power the mechanisms inside. We continued on to Shamu Stadium to have a memorable luncheon at Dine With Shamu. Located on the backside of the stadium, guests can enjoy sustainable seafood, organic coffee, and items that promote environmental responsibility. This lunch was a little special as the chefs gave us a culinary journey through the park via the buffet, allowing them to try a lot of different menu items from inside the park all in one place. Choices included lobster mac n' cheese, barbeque ribs and brisket, Latin American and Asian inspired dishes, salads, sides, and desserts. Each table also had the privilege of dining with an animal expert while watching the orcas train. After lunch, we headed back to Ports of Call to get up-close and personal with some very rare animals. A baby tamadura (lesser anteater) eating meal worms from a tube. You can see how their tongue is used to get into small holes in order to retrieve small bugs. The tiny screech owl looks like a baby at about the size of your hand, but she's fully grown. A regal bald eagle and crested caracara pose for photos. Two toed sloth lovingly holds on to her trainer and lackadaisically views everyone upside down.

In January of this year I did a complete shift! I started planning for a big 2027. I was told the most influential people are at golf courses. Well, I called a very good friend who happens to be a very good golfer and was invited to come to the PGA in Florida! Who would turn down the PGA? PGA tickets at Arnold Palmer range from regular tickets being $100 to the Orange Grove option which was a luxury package including all-inclusive food and beverage and clubhouse access. Two-day packages (Thursday and Friday or Saturday and Sunday) started at $2,000, while the full-week four-round package STARTED at $3,500. Arnold Palmer is well maintained and super swanky! I was able to talk to the volunteers and was shocked to learn that they volunteer to help run these events. Talk about Sports LOVERS! Geeeez! And they have done it for years! The golf course is huge! I had no idea that women wear sneakers to this event. I was there looking girly with designer sandals and a sundress and felt out of place. Ladies: come comfortable, you will be walking. Even VIPS walk. Save your designer shoes, this place is a golf course, full of dirt and plush green grass. Rookie mistake! Overall, loved this event. Didn't eat the food even though it was provided! See you next year!
