ORLANDO
CARNIVAL 2009 COVERAGE
If you're looking for fun in the sun, relaxation, adventure and the happening of fetes and limes for Orlando Carnival, I ... Sultry Gyul will gladly give you the 411.
There are thousands of luxury hotels, restaurants, conventions, museums, and cheesy souvenir shops … And let's not forget ladies! Shopping, OMG... shopping, and outlet stores. I must say very few places in the world can compete. With ready access to attractions, hotels, restaurants, and malls it is easy to see why Orlando attracts millions of tourist every year. Even though we are a city that is full of family attractions, we do have nightlife and CARNIVAL!! That's right, you read correctly. Orlando Carnival takes place every year on Memorial Day Weekend. Yes, I know it's short and sweet and finishes to quick ... sHuhhhh! I know we need to do something about that!
TJJ Party Guru's Guide to Carnival in Orlando Prerequisites:
Itinerary:
Saturday: Islands Boys All-Inclusive Fete is the place to be. I must say this is the main event for Carnival Weekend. You pay one price and all proceeds to benefits charity. Then Club 360, Island Limelight, Soca Implosion, and D'Hut in which leads to morning breakfast fete. Sunday: Play mas on de road with Island Fantasy growing bigger, badder, and sexier. Jump and have fun with Powerline Sounds HD, Bev Promotions, and other bands that are playing mas. Then watch some live performances and enjoy some food. The weather was not on our side this year. But that is alright, some people went out to Club LUX or Club OHM for their final weekend fete. I would like to thank everyone who promotes their events on TriniJungleJuice.com. Kudos to those who log onto the website and view the photogalleries, events, music and videos, and who reads the reviews, blogs, articles and news. I must say TJJ would not be in existence if it was not for the diehard fans who keep us going. We love you all for letting the juice flow! Big up to the ORLANDO MAGIC - 2009 EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS. Wow!! YOU HAD A PHENMONAL SEASON! When the mouse is away, the cat gets to lime all day. See you next year Orlando Carnival!
Sultry Gyul for TJJ Familia General Warning: You know Carnival Hunting is not an easy thing. Please don't drink Rum until your kidney dies. Please take necessary precautions for those returning to work on Monday. The solution is: drinking less rum and more Coconut water on Sunday. Please don't contact your employer and call in sick, just to lime on Monday. It is not worth it, especially given the current state of the economy. Remember to travel with someone, drive safely, and fete responsibly. << Main Carnival Photo Galleries >>

Orlando
is the theme park capital of the world. The city destination everyone
associates the thought of Walt Disney Resort, Universal Orlando Resort,
Sea World, and Water Parks galore (Wet-n-Wild, Aquatica, Blizzard Beach,
Typhoon Lagoon, and Discovery Cove) and so much more. Oh! Kennedy Space
Center, I have actually felt the combustion and ground trembling on the
417 toll road from launches, and watch space shuttles from my backyard.
But perhaps Orlando should be better
thought of as an urban oasis and melting pot - where fruits
and vegetables grow in backyards, houses designed with beautiful architect,
diversity and multi-ethnic cultures from all over the world migrating.
Orlando
Carnival has been growing for the past several years. I first attended Orlando
Carnival in 2006 as a vendor selling Conch. Conch Salad, Conch Fritters, Crack
Conch and Fish Dinner (Snapper, Macaroni Pie, Cole Slaw, Peas& Rice and Plantains).
I must say everything sold ... but there were lots of requests for Conch Water!!??
Sorry, did not have that! 
In my second year, I played mas and limed heavily with friends. My third and fourth
year, I represented TJJ. But my first experience goes back to South Florida for
Carnival. But my favorite memorable Carnival experience @ Miami the year 2005.
Finally two years later met up with TJJ @ 
Friday:
This is the main night where you start to warm up on your extended Holiday weekend.
The main event is the annual
