The annual summer vacation is a tradition taken part in by families from all over the world for centuries and in later years, much of the world adds Orlando to their summer journeys! We are the theme park capital of the world and as travelers flock to the doorstep of Disney and beyond, they often find themselves heading home to the comforts of our Tuscana Resort vacation escapes at the end of each fun-filled day! Providing comfort, peace, and relaxation to busy travelers on the go, our full-service property management company also provides information on everything that is exciting and fun to do during that stay! And although theme parks are our game, they are not the only game in town and this guide to some of our favorite upcoming summer events in Orlando will ensure that your Florida getaway is well rounded and filled with adventure!
WWE Friday Night Smackdown, July 21, Amway Center
Amway Center is the home court of the Orlando Magic and has been the spot where some of the best concerts in town are held and on Friday, July 21 from 7:45 to 11:45 it is the site of WWE Friday Night Smackdown! Watch the biggest names in the wrestling biz show off their best moves in order to win the big belt while you sit comfortably sipping cold beers and cheering them on! If you haven’t ever seen a live WWE event before your Orlando vacation is the perfect time to do so and if you are a big fan, this is your chance to see the Brawling Brutes, Charlotte Flair, and so many other favorites do their best smackdowns!
