Six Days in Orlando: How One Family Spent About $6.7K After Rewards

A Cleveland family of five spends six days in Orlando, mainly at Universal with an Epic Universe visit and one Disney day, totaling about $8,620 before rewards. They flew Frontier to save time, stayed in two Terra Luna Resort rooms to fit everyone, used four-day park-to-park tickets (skipping Express Pass), and offset costs with a $300 dining credit per room plus $1,920 in credit-card rewards, leaving roughly $6,700 out-of-pocket. The family says it was worth the memories.

Orlando woman dies after arm-severing alligator attack in shallow Florida river

A 31-year-old Orlando woman, Brittany Clark, was killed when a 12‑to‑13‑foot alligator attacked her in just three feet of water in the Econlockhatchee River in central Florida; her boyfriend and best friend witnessed the assault and CPR was performed, but she died.

A decade after Pulse: survivors reflect on healing, memory, and advocacy

Ten years after the Pulse nightclub shooting, survivors Brandon Wolf, Keinon Carter and Tiara Parker describe ongoing physical rehabilitation, emotional recovery, and a shift toward advocacy and resilience. Wolf has become a prominent LGBTQ+ rights advocate and media strategist, Carter faces chronic injuries and a slower return to work while pursuing a center for Black LGBTQ+ youth, and Parker wrestles with survivor’s guilt and depression before transforming her pain into makeup artistry and leadership with Victims First. The piece underscores that healing is non-linear and that communities continue to mourn, memorialize, and push for changes in gun violence responses.

Orlando MICHELIN Guide 2026: No New Stars as Two Restaurants Drop to General Recommendations

The 2026 Florida MICHELIN Guide adds six area venues to the general recommendations, while Orlando’s star lineup mostly remains intact. Two restaurants, Capa at the Four Seasons and Papa Llama, lose their stars and are downgraded to general recommendations. Sorekara preserves its two stars, and Camille, Kadence, Ômo by Jônt, Soseki and Victoria & Albert’s keep their one-star status. No new Central Florida stars were awarded. The changes reflect MICHELIN’s statewide expansion and ongoing re-evaluation of the Orlando dining scene.

Orlando-area pickup crushes a $250K Lamborghini in shocking parking-lot crash

A cellphone video from a Lake Nona gym parking lot shows a Florida pickup truck slamming into and driving over a Lamborghini worth about $250,000. Lamborghini owner Ramon Ferrer escaped unharmed and said he’s lucky to be alive, while the pickup driver’s identity hasn’t been released and no citation was immediately reported. Ferrer bought the car five months earlier; he credited divine intervention and an axle/vehicle issue for his survival as the luxury car was crushed and towed to a body shop for repairs.

Disney Trips Get Pricier as Major Airlines Hike Checked-Bag Fees

Several major U.S. airlines have raised first- and second-bag fees for tickets booked recently, a move that directly affects Disney travelers heading to Orlando or Anaheim. Delta, American, Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaiian increased bag fees (and American tightened basic-economy rules) while Southwest also announced stricter power-bank limits, meaning a family of four could see roughly an extra $80+ in luggage costs on a typical two-bag itinerary, with higher costs on other routes and fare classes. Travelers should check loyalty-program waivers, compare fare classes, and budget luggage fees before booking.

Darden to Close All Remaining Bahama Breeze Locations, Converting Half to Other Brands

Orlando-based Darden Restaurants said it will shut down all remaining Bahama Breeze locations in the U.S., ending the brand after 30 years.
