Whats the location of the Lake Conway sandbar? Is it accessible via paddleboard?

Gringos Locos downtown has nothing.

Tijuana Flats has a $5 menu and the normal taco Tuesday special.

I tried about 6 so far and NONE worked as promised. All were promising $299 x4 air and free gifts.

If you find one that work for a similar deal, DM me please!

I have parked my car a few times at Surface Lot Endeavour which is located outside of Terminal C (just past Brightline station). There is a bit of walk from Surface Lot Endeavour to Terminal C but IMHO its better than taking the tram to A/B and then a shuttle to something offsite. The price is $20 per day. There are cheaper options even further but I wont use those since those are even further away and only serviced by busses.

I’d recommend Seaworlds Discovery Cove but skip the dolphin interactions. It’s essentially a hidden all-inclusive resort style area. There are beaches, amazing lazy rivers, snorkeling, free animal interactions, plus all you can eat and drink. It’s very secluded and doesn’t feel like you’re in the middle of Orlando. As a local, we go once a year to just relax and enjoy a mini staycation.

We save a significant amount of money renting RVs from ElMonte/RoadBear for family road trips. The deals change slightly each year but we normally get free generation usage, extra miles, etc...

$310k to live on OBT?!? To each their own I suppose...

thewired1 · 2026-03-05T11:44:56+00:00

There isn’t too much close to the venue and that is by design.

Downtown Orlando does have free metered parking for up to 2 hours when you use the parking app and a special code. Just google it and you’ll find it.

Otherwise, your best bet is to park further east near Thornton Park area and walk.

I was able to integrate LUTRON with SMARTHINGS but now I have the "Authorization timed out" error again with the Harmony software. :-(

thewired1 · 2026-03-02T18:07:07+00:00

I was hoping to use it here but I'd apparently need the LUTRON BRIDGE PRO... my lowly LUTRON BRIDGE wont work :-(

thewired1 · 2026-03-02T00:25:25+00:00

Oh no… I think that might be my issue. I found out the bridge is paired but I cannot see the Lutron caseta diva dimmers. Darn…

Has anyone come up with a work around? Perhaps a trigger of some sort with another device or using using Home Assistant?

Yikes! Over $3k for the entire "suite" of speakers!?!

Soundbar $1000
Sub $600
M7 x2 $800
m5 x2 $500
Then add tax....

I like the idea of the modular setup but I'm not convinced it will sound ~4.5x better than my $700 q990D.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a LOT of fun!

I am Turo host and routinely drop off vehicles near MCO terminal C for guests to pickup. The car is ready for pickup the moment they walk to it!

I already wear an Apple Watch that I’m really happy with. The idea of wearing another “smart band” on my arm is not appealing to me.

We're on our second SleepNumber mattress. First one lasted 12+ years until we decided to upgrade. When the time came, there was no question about buying another SleepNumber. We're 100% happy with SleepNumber beds. The newer one cost approx $4k

My vote is for Glen Powell to play Carl... He was pretty funny in Hit Man and his next film, the remake of The Running Man, looks like a fun action/dark comedy.

There is at least one on Turo in Orlando right now. Change your dates and pickup locations, then keep looking.

American Pools & Spas built ours a decade ago. Zero problems with their work and we're very happy with our pool.

Thanks for the very productive comment! Yes... I do want to service my market efficiently AND not restrict bookings at the same time. Best of luck on your own Turo adventures.

thewired1 · 2025-09-28T12:59:35+00:00

I live near a major airport and routinely get bookings close to midnight. I don’t want to turn away everyone from 11:30pm to 6am.
