We've had a slight change in plan for Thursday night thanks to our friends at Universal Studios Orlando. The Thursday before BlogOrlando, we'll be gathering at Universal CityWalk at 6:30 PM (or around then) for a night out. Universal Studios will be providing Party Passes to each BlogOrlando registrant. The Party Passes provide free cover to any of the clubs. In addition, we'll each be receiving $10 in Universal Dollars. The $10 is good for food and drinks at any Universal Citywalk restaurant or bar. BlogOrlando attendees can also receive 20% off Blue Man Group tickets if they want!!

We need to provide Universal with accurate counts, so every attendee will be receiving an e-mail for them to confirm their attendance and let us know if you plan to go to the Blue Man Group. Check your e-mail boxes.

We'll be posting the details on where we plan to meet, etc, very shortly. In advance though, be thinking of what you're hungry for. The food and drink options include:

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.™
Jimmy Buffett’s® Margaritaville®
Bob Marley - A Tribute to FreedomSM
Hard Rock Cafe®
Emeril's® Restaurant Orlando
Pat O'Brien's®
NBA City
Latin Quarter™
PastamoréSM
CityJazz®

Originally we have planned to meet at a local restaurant and grab some dinner and drinks, but that becomes a problem with almost 100 people. Remember this event is free, so we really don't have the budget to do one of those standard conference dinners which usually cost event planners $20-$30 per person. It's also hard to carry on a conversation with 100 people at once. With the Citywalk event we can buddy up as we want and then stay as long as we want, but not too late since the main BlogOrlando event starts bright and early the next morning.
