SPRING BREAK
Every school district has a different spring break, so we should be starting to see more and more families visiting the Orlando area. Theme parks are not always in everyone’s budget. Now is a great time to talk up dinner shows, Cirque and Blue Man, Fun Spot, and the I-Drive attractions. La Nouba will be ending their shows at the end of the year. Let your guests know this in case they’d like to see it before it goes. Water parks should also be a great seller at this time.
WALT DISNEY WORLD
REMEMBER WE ARE IN VALUE SEASON UNTIL MARCH 9TH WHEN IT GOES BACK TO REGULAR SEASON.
March 1 – May 29, Epcot will host their annual Flower and Garden festival. This is a crowd favorite, besides the Food and Wine Festival. Spring has arrived at Epcot with character topiaries throughout the park along with beautiful florals and foliage. The festival also includes concerts on the stage in the American pavilion, with Jon Secada kicking off the event on March 4th. Similar to Food and Wine, several booths will be set up throughout World Showcase with food and beverages that incorporate flowers, plants and farm grown vegetables.
UNIVERSAL
Yandel will be performing March 4th for Mardi Gras. Remember Universal is in VALUE season until March 25th. Always promote P2P so guests can enjoy all Universal has to offer. When selling Universal, are you asking your guests if they want to see Blue Man Group? This is an easy add on and a nice way to end their day in the parks. Your guests might not even know Blue Man is at Universal so be sure to mention it to them and boost your commissions!
