CitySurfing Orlando

If you’re in the Kissimmee area on Friday, October 14, head on over to Old Town on Hwy 192 for their Zombie Walk.

The event is to kick off the Halloween season at the popular tourist attraction, but you don’t have to just watch, you can also participate.

Just show up between 2 and 3pm on Friday, dressed in clothes that you don’t mind having ruined with make-up and fake blood, and professional make-up artist Tim Hays of MonsterFX will complete your transformation into one of the undead for free.

If you want to participate, RSVP to Rachel McIntee at rachel at myoldtownusa.com.

Otherwise, show up mid-afternoon and grab a viewing spot to watch the zombies shuffle on by. It’s all free.

One of my favorite theme park shows in Orlando is Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba at Walt Disney World. From the amazing aerial work to the humorous clowns, this show just wows me every time I see it.

If you haven’t seen it yet, or just want an excuse to see it again, La Nouba has a special incentive. From now until October 23, 2010, Florida residents can purchase tickets for only $50.

This special discount is limited to six tickets per transaction, and is subject to availability. Proof of Florida residency and advance purchase required.

La Nouba is housed at the white tent-like building at Downtown Disney’s West Side. Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 6pm and 9pm. Regular prices for tickets range from $71 to $124 for adults (plus taxes and service fees).

Purchase these Florida resident tickets at the box office, online (click on “Tickets & Info” then “Offers”) or via phone at 407-WDW-SEAT (939-7328).
