www. OrlandoFunForAll What to do in Orlando and Central Florida... .c m for the week of 10/26 - 11/2 (2010) Hello friends!! Welcome to our first ever newsletter! As Florida residents ourselves at Orlando Fun For All (OFFA), our goal with this newsletter and website is to provide those that live in or are planning to move or visit the Central Florida area with a little guidance of fun things to do. Whether with family, just the kids, adults, sports, or anything else that may interest you, Orlando has it all. We in this area have the privilege of many attractions including Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and many others. However, the Central Florida area is so much more than just the theme parks. Some towns have movie nights at the park; others have wine fests, fairs, cultural festivals, food festivals, parades, and lakefront events. In areas such as Downtown Orlando, Kissimmee, and International Drive you can find activities for families along with nightlife choices for adults. We bring to this website a little concept we call GEMS. These are events we consider the prized choice of the week, or sometimes a couple which are the best for fun. Gems are not always the cheapest event choice on our calendar but it may be the savings choice of the week because the discounted prices are so worthwhile. This might just be what we consider the most fun choice for all of us and may be worth spending a little extra cash. So keep an eye out for our “gems.” By clicking on the calendar events on the webpage you can also get more details on each of our gems. The featured gems of this week are the following: Friday, October 29th @ 7:00 PM >> FREE Movie under the Stars featuring “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” located at Town Center Park (Avalon Park, FL) Saturday, October 30th @ 5:00 PM >> FREE Happy Haunting located at Downtown Disney (Lake Buena Vista, FL) Sunday, October 31st @ 5:00 PM >> FREE Happy Haunting located at Downtown Disney (Lake Buena Vista, FL) For more information on each of these GEMS listed go to the website at www.orlandofunforall.com, click on the calendar event hyperlink for that date, and then click on “more info.” This will either take you to the webpage of the location of this event or provide you with further details on that particular activity. The same concept applies to all the events listed on the calendar. We at OFFA are very excited about our project and how we can service others who want to enjoy Central Florida as much as we do ourselves. In addition we are looking forward to hearing about your own experiences in the area, suggestions for events to add to the website, along with photos and excerpts of experiences you’ve personally had in Central Florida and would like shared with the public. Please email us at [email protected]. We are looking forward to hearing from you. www.
