Not sure what to do on Gay Days weekend coming up in Orlando or if its your first time to the big event let me help you out and break down the best of breed events. The real deal starts Tuesday night at Rain with a performance by Jeanie Tracy. If you have not been out to a Tuesday night out at Rain you are in for a surprise this place is way far from the rest of the gay clubs in Orlando but its not too far from the Millenia mall. Might have to make sure you have a designated driver or hitch the Disney employee bus to this event.
Tuesday, June 1 – Jeanie Tracy @ Rain Nightclub (Lucky) corner of Kirkman Rd and Conroy Rd
Wed, June 2 – Pulse Nightclub, a fun but crowded 18+ dance club.
Thurs, June 3 – P.I. (Pleasure Island) at P.H. (Parliament House) A night of pleasure with no cover before 11pm DJ Brianna in Courtyard and DJ Dido in Disco. (410 N. Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando). Cover only $6 after 11pm. This is also a great night to attend Revolution to see good drag and hear the latest house music but it may be ladies night out there (we will update when we find out).
Fri, June 4- Let’s Go Play @ Typhoon Lagoon – this is the most popular event at Gay Days Every year. DJ Lydia Prim and performance from Debbie Holiday. 8pm til 2am.
Fri. June 4- 1am Deborah Gibson @ Phouse [good alternative if Typhon Lagoon gets rained out]

Sat. June 5- Stratosphere @ Universal Studios Florida [21+ up event, $75 cover] with dj Tony Moran

Sun. June 6 – Blake Lewis & Frenchie Davis from American Idol perform with only $10 cover at the Parliament House. This is our favorite Sunday night event.
Sun. June 6 – Arabian Nights Afterhours beginning at 2am dj Hector Fonseca & Theresa for $51. This afterhours is 18 and up.
We asked Mark Baker if there were going to be any live performances at his parties and he commented “we arent stopping the music for any ‘talent’”. I am sure many people will be happy about that as long as the music is not stopped for fire alarms instead. If you want to see talent your best bet is to mix up your weekend and hear some diva over at the Phouse or Typhoon Lagoon. I like to mix things up myself and see it all. If you are under 21 you may have no choice because the more circuit events are 21+ while the P-house 18+.
Let’s list the pool parties separately because wow there is a lot of events to talk about here. Keep in mind that there will be no performances or talent at these parties like in the past at the Johnny Chisolm Reunion parties. The pool parties (two different locations) are always my favorite part of the gay Orlando weekend and here are a few worth noting-
Friday June 4 from 12pm-6pm – DJ Randy Bettis at Doubletree Resort GayDays Host hotel [Doubletree host hotel is 18 and up pool parties and $15 cover]
Sat.June 5 -12pm to 6pm Red Pool Party with DJ Kimberly S + Brianna Lee @ Doubletree Resort Orlando
