ORLANDO.. ask away

By: Choppin wood by the JUGS on November 25, 2016, 4:31 PM | 28 comments

SO ACC TITLE GAME IS IN ORLANDO THIS YEAR, thanks NC.

SO we can start with hotels and where to stay.

Camping World Stadium is the black star, I would suggest staying off of I4 which is the main highway we have here in central florida. A ton of hotels are within a 20-30 minute drive and availability shouldn't be an issue since its the first week in December

Obviously Disney is a big attraction and shouldn't be super busy the 1st week of January. Universal and Islands of adventure is another good amusement park with more roller coasters and themed rides.

Main airport would be Orlando but if you can find a flight into Sanford that wouldn't be a bad shout. Its maybe 20/30 minutes further north but some deals could be had depending on the week.

Please ask any questions and I can hopefully help answer them.

I'm driving down from Myrtle Beach area. Should I look to stay closer to Daytona to save money?

What does Camping World have in terms of parking? Food right around and inside? Lunch suggestions?

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Depends where in daytona, I would look on booking dot com and see what the price difference is for lodging. It would most likely be an hour drive from daytona to the game.

Parking they have a good amount of tailgate lots and tons of open fields for parking right around the stadium for sure. I would imagine they would do a shuttle from downtown orlando which is 10 minutes away so that't not a bad option! <-I can double check this and respond once I find whats going on with the shuttle.

Food inside is pretty decent they have a fajita place, pizza, chicken fingers and I would expect the ACC to bring in some other food vendors for inside.

Lunch I would definitely eat downtown. Good Mexican place Gringos Locos, Frank N Steins (hotdog bar) tons of beer, North Orange Ave is the downtown scene with tons of bars and other food spots.

Is your life consumed by an all-encompasing rage over wanting to punch every tourist you see?

Tourists are the least of your worries when it comes to all encompassing rage. In Orlando the rage stems from everyone behind the wheel of a car and the Puerto Rican grandma who two hand shoves you at Publix because you are in her way of getting something.

Is there still that bar on Wall Street (I think) that serves Bear Fights and has a tailgate on the wall you can sit on?

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

I believe that would be Stagger Inn and yes its still on Wall Street

Are the end zones 145 and 146 still VT seats?

Choppin wood by the JUGS's picture Choppin wood by the JUGS | 9 years 7 months # ^

that would be my thinking and I think VT band will be in 143, if they come as its been blocked off

T-Mobile_Service is Good's picture T-Mobile_Service is Good | 9 years 7 months # ^

Thanks, gonna go ahead and get those end zone seats then

Only asking because they are significantly cheaper than sideline.

shuttle service

yes they do have shuttle service click the link and it will tell you everything. This picks you up in the middle of downtown orlando then drops you back off by the bar scene/Church Street.

Does anyone know how to get tickets in the coastal/VT side? The ones on ticketmaster only show availability on the Atlantic side and i cant spend $90 per tix on hokietickets.

Choppin wood by the JUGS's picture Choppin wood by the JUGS | 9 years 7 months # ^

Stubhub is the next bet but those tickets are just as expensive.

Lots of people trying to get money back since it moved from Charlotte.
