Night Life in Orlando, Flo Rida

Competition can be a great thing for consumers because the competing companies really have to work to get their share of the market. In Orlando the two main players in the theme park category are Disney World and Universal Studios, but their competition is not confined to thrilling rides, both companies offer a wide array of nighttime entertainment. If you are visiting Orlando you will probably want to visit the entertainment areas of both parks, and here is what you can expect to find.

Let's start with Disney World. Disney's nightlife area is called Pleasure Island and it is located in the downtown area of Disney World. Pleasure Island is a collection of restaurants and night clubs. Each of the eight night clubs has a particular theme, and the entertainment and performers are chosen according to the theme of the clubs.

For example, The Wild horse Saloon features country music and no wonder, as it is based on Nashville's Wild horse Saloon. The club features a big dance floor and performance area, and each night a live country band is on hand to entertain guests. On the culinary side, the Wild horse Saloon has a barbecue restaurant.

If country music is not your thing, you can just go on to the other themed clubs. For example lovers of classic rock will be happy with the play list at the Rock n Roll Beach Club. This is a club with a beach party theme, and each night a disc jockey or a live band serves up a lively set of classic rock music.

Disney's Pleasure Island also has The Comedy Warehouse, devoted to stand up comics and improvisational comedy, a club centered on the hits of the 70s and 80s, and a club where you can watch and dance to the latest music videos. Wander around the clubs and restaurants of Pleasure Island and you will certainly find something that meets your taste.

Not to be outdone by its rival Disney, Universal also an area set aside for night life activity. Universal's night club and restaurant area is called Universal City Walk. If you are wondering which came first, Disney or Universal, then the answer in this case is Universal. The City Walk area at it's Florida complex is modeled after its Universal Hollywood which pioneered the idea of a restaurant-night club complex.

Like Disney's Pleasure Island, City Walk features a varied set of clubs each providing a different kind of entertainment.

If you are a fan of reggae music then your first stop should be at the "Bob Marley, a Tribute to Freedom" club. This is not only a night club but also a museum based on the museum at Bob Marley's house in Jamaica. The club features live reggae music on a nightly basis.

Do you prefer jazz? Then the City Jazz club should be your destination on any weekend. The club provides not only live music, but also has lots of jazz memorabilia on its walls. During the weekdays, the club's entertainment is comedy.

City Walk's Latin Quarter is both a top class restaurant during the day and a lively night club at night. As its name suggests the music is Latin and it is popular with the local Hispanic community as well as tourists.

City Walk has several other clubs and restaurants. There is no admission charge to City Walk, though each venue has its own cover charge. An economical way to visit the area is to get a "key" to all the venues for $7.95. You can't drive through this area and will have to park your car in Universal's garages for about $7.00 per night.

Whether it is CityWalk or Pleasure Island, you will certainly find a restaurant or club where you can unwind and enjoy yourself in Orlando.

THE AMERICAN IDOL EXPERIENCE — WALT DISNEY WORLD, DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

Leave it to industry giant Walt Disney World to base its new blockbuster attraction on the most popular show on TV, despite it airing on Fox, a lead competitor against Walt Disney Co.'s ABC.

Of course, Disney knows "The American Idol Experience" represents a much bigger opportunity for the park and its guests than the TV rating wars.

"We view it as a pop culture phenomenon," Disney spokesman Rick Sylvain said. "This gives people the thrill of a live production, making them feel like they're actually on the set."

Guests get two chances to participate in this attraction — to be on-stage, or in the audience voting for the winner. There are seven regular shows a day, each featuring three performers.

The winner of the eighth show, pitting the day's victors against one another, gets a grand reward: A front-of-the-line ticket to any one of the next season's "American Idol" tryouts in the country. That's a truly golden ticket to the thousands willing to wait days for an audition spot in each city's casting call.

Up to 400 can audition here each day, and about 40 will make it past the first cut. Then 21 are eventually cast to compete in seven regular shows.

The Orlando set is a near-perfect match, built by the Hollywood "American Idol" stage designer, but for a few small changes. "Judges" sit stage-right, instead of the floor, though they retain the trademark Coke drinking glasses.

The audience is actually encouraged beforehand to support every contestant and heckle the judges — all three of whom are cast members, including the obligatory jerk.

Singers who've made the cut arrive an hour early. They have 10 minutes of hair and make-up, 10 minutes with a voice coach and 10 more alone, with an iPod programmed with their song and its lyrics. They also tape short back-story interviews to air with the introductions.

The production feels real, with someone shouting "We're live in 3-2-1" and a giant bank of lights turning on the show's trademark "aa-AA" sound.

A main difference is the performers themselves — wearing Mickey Mouse T-shirts, jean shorts and sandals, and quite long shots to make the real deal. They also don't do whole songs here, only 90-second snips picked from a list of 113.

The theater seats 1,000, and every other armrest has a voting pad. The audience eventually decides who advances, not the judges or cast members who culled the flock along the way.

Disney hopes to please even guests who don't make the first cut: Cast members along the way are fed electronic notes on what to help them with — pitch, nerves, gestures, etc.

"We are Disney; we are not Simon (Cowell)," said Eva Medved, entertainment operations manager for the attraction. "So we want to make sure after they walk out of here they've had a good time regardless."

Would-be stars who didn't make the cut can try again every 30 days. Unsurprisingly, Disney has already seen a host of new regulars.
