Gay Days Orlando
Someone asked me on Myspace earlier what the best things to do for Gay Days in Orlando would be this year since they have never been. I looked everywhere online and could not for the life of me remember what they call the circuit part of the Gay Days event. I searched up and down for Gay Days and every term I could think of which finally took me to the Circuit Noize website which is very hard to navigate but has lots of great information. I searched for events in Orlando that took me to another link on their site that reminded me of One Mighty Weekend. How does anyone remember “One Mighty Weekend� What happened to the GayDay.com site that has not been updated?
Anyway the circuit part of the Gay Day weekend can be found at onemightyweekend.com which includes host hotel of that event at the Buena Vista Palace which includes huge pool parties and very nice rooms compared to the older rooms you would get at the Royal Plaza, the competing host hotel.
Basically there are two big promoters for this event because it is so big you have the onemightyweekend.com crowd and the gaydays.com crowd. Johnny Chisholm promotes the mighty weekend events at the Buena Vista Palace Reunion pool parties, Magic Journeys @ Arabian nights, Colosseum at the Hard Rock, and the fabulous Typhoon Lagoon beach ball.
The other events host hotel belongs to the older Royal Plaza where you will find the Gay Days Expo. You do not want to miss the expo where you normally get a free sample or two of alcohol and lots of fun booths to browse through. They also have great pool parties where most everyone is drinking and some great music. Both hotels have great pool parties.
If you are planning your trip to Gay Days this year make sure you do not miss the Parliament house events featuring concerts on Saturday and Sunday nights. Or some refer to it as the P-house. It is a gay resort you cannot miss while you are in Orlando even if you are in town for the Disney fun. The Parliament house site can be found at parliamenthouse.com.
Clubs that are not to be missed are Pulse nightclub on Wednesday and Thursdays (18+) or you can hit up Mannequin inside the Disney club area on Thursday night (21+). The Parliament house will be 18+ and have concerts (they had Deborah Cox a few years back) outside in the pool area with dancing inside and great drag performances. The P-house has not yet posted who will be in concert this year but you can bet it will be top name gay performers. There will also be booths in the back of the hotel near the lake where you will find a crazy foam party. If you dare to get involved in the foam no telling who you might meet in there… maybe a Republican congressman.
You do not want to miss Beach Ball at Typhoon Lagoon. That is the hottest gay beach event of the year. Gay Days in Orlando is held the first week of June every year. This year it will be held May 29 – June 4.
