Our story
Our story begins with Christina, a 311 fan who had never been to a 311 concert. When she discovered they were playing down the street from her house, she bought her ticket, however this would be her first concert going by herself as she didn't know anyone else who'd want to come along. Christina reached out to her friend Victor, who sometimes works security at concerts to see if he would be working so at least if anything were to happen, she'd know someone. He said he wasn't working the concert however his brother, Hazen might be interested in going. Victor asked Hazen and showed him a picture of Christina, and Hazen immediately bought his ticket. They exchanged numbers and the chemistry between them just through texting was undeniable. Meeting in person sealed the deal. 6.5 years later, they're ready to say "I do."
Travel
Train
The Brightline
We can't hype up the Brightline enough. With convenient stops in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca, and West Palm, it offers a swift and hassle-free journey to and from Orlando. And did we mention it's only an 8-minute uber ride from the venue? If you book parties of 3 or more, they offer promo codes! If you want to have an *extra* good time on the ride up, we highly recommend premium seats.

Things To Do
Walt Disney World
We're the stereotypical childless millennials who enjoy going to Disney. With 4 different immersive parks (Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom), there's something for everyone. To maximize your trip, we recommend getting the park hopper option. There are also Florida resident rates and Military discounts.
Discovery Cove
One of Christina's favorite spots in Orlando. ☑ All you can drink ☑ All you can eat ☑ A long lazy river that's temperature controlled so you're not freezing ☑ Swim with dolphins (costs extra) ☑ Swim with sting rays (no barbs, RIP Steve Irwin) and beautiful fish (included) They allow a limited amount of people per day, so it doesn't get crowded. We recommend getting there when they open since they close around 5pm, as well as booking in advance.
Universal Studios Florida
Fantasy comes to life with thrilling rides, beloved characters, and immersive worlds straight from the silver screen. Join Harry Potter on a spellbinding adventure through Hogwarts, race alongside The Fast & Furious crew, or journey into the heart of Jurassic Park. From pulse-pounding roller coasters to magical encounters with iconic movie legends. *Note: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are 2 separate parks with separate admission!
Winter Park
Winter Park boasts a delightful blend of charming boutiques and top-notch eateries, some of which grace the coveted Michelin list and it's note worthy honorable mention list. Laced with southern charm without people saying "bless your heart" while secretly implying "you uncultured swine."
Gatorland
There's no place quite like Gatorland! Listen to the adorable pew pew sounds that baby gators make (and even get to hold them), enjoy (or absolutely hate) animal encounters (I'm talking about the snake - ew), and watching entertaining wild back yard gator shows. Did we mention you get to feed the gators hot dogs? What's not to love?
Disney Springs
With so much to see, eat and shop in one centralized location, it's hard to get bored in Disney Springs.
Places we do NOT recommend
To each their own, but we're trying to save you the trouble by compiling our "I mean, if you're into that sort of thing" list. • Seaworld - listen, it's not even about the Black Fish documentary. Yes, some of the thrill rides are supreme over Universal and Disney BUT the entire park itself feels like the tik tok sound of the Jurassic park bobo recorder. Iykyk. • I-Drive - If you value your sanity, steer clear of I-Drive. It's always a cluster of overpriced tourist traps. • The Outlets - again, if you're willing to brave the masses for a 5 cent mark down on original prices, by all means. • Fun Spot - to us, this is a no brainer. Carney vibes but manned by real Floridians. Topped off with all those videos of people passing out on the sling shot... We're good thanks.
