Celebrating magic is what we do best here in Orlando, especially as we are known for being the Theme Park Capital of the World, but today we want to talk about a different kind of magic, the kind found on the movie screens and the Florida Film Festival, typically held in April. Offering a celebration of the silver screen and lasting just 10 days, this festival is beginning to give Sundance a run for its money. Spend your days and evenings losing yourself in the magic on the screen, and your nights discovering more magic in the comforts, luxuries, and stylish decors of our Orlando Tropical Villas Florida Film Festival rentals; this guide will show you all the reasons both the festival and our properties will help you make memories you will cherish forever.
Sundance May Be Worried
If you love movies, chances are you have followed the Cannes Film Festival (established in 1946), and of course, Sundance Film Festival (established in 1978), but did you know that Florida has its own festival, one that has been around since 1991? The Florida Film Festival, held in April in nearby Maitland, offer 10 days of celebration honoring not just independent films, but current and international films as well. Over 160 movies are watched, raved over, and rated, with people like you having the opportunity to weigh in on your favorites and although the movies are obviously the star of the show, there is so much more to enjoy. Celebrity meet & greets, panels and forums with noted actors, directors, and writers, glitzy and non-glitzy parties, and an award ceremony that is sure to stun will add to the experience making you wonder why you waited over 30 years to check out what is offered. Themed movie nights such as midnight movies and food film add an extra layer of fun to your adventures in movieland, while secret screenings makes us feel noticed and included something that doesn’t always happen in the movie business.
Are You in the Business? Or Do You Want to Be?
When the movie people come into town, everyone suddenly has a movie script they are writing, and if you have designs to be in the business, the Florida Film Festival offers a fantastic way to network. And it doesn’t just have to be a film script you are trying to sell to that famous director you’ve watched win award after award on television, you could be an actor, a makeup artist, a set designer or maybe you are thinking about getting into the Kraft Service business. The month of April and your upcoming journey to the Orlando area could be the opportunity to change your life as you network with the big guys (and gals) in show business. Even if you have no designs to enter the business, you will still be thrilled and amazed when you walk into a local restaurant and see one of your favorite superstars sharing a booth with another! Rubbing shoulders with superstars will be the experiences that could creep into your dreams, once you’ve returned home to our Tropical Villas Orlando Florida Film Festival rentals.
Magic Is in the Air
Now it is time to step inside our Florida escapes and discover all the magic we have to share with out guests. Every home is different, but there are a few key traits that will remind you why you chose Tropical Villas Orlando, including a sense of welcoming, luxury amenities, and the fact that our homes are located in the best resort areas in the state! Resort life adds an extra element of luxury to any vacation, especially when done right, and there is no question we DO it very right. Multiple resort pools, splash pads, hot tubs, and water slides may encourage guests to take a day off from the movies and stay home and splash. The pools will be surrounded by lounge chairs and some of the resorts may offer cabanas that will shield you from the sun while also offering privacy that will be appreciated after the madness of the festival. Game rooms will be your teens best friend, theater rooms will be much more comfortable than the ones at the Maitland Movie House, with the main difference being you won’t be watching new releases in the resort theaters. Also offering walking paths, fitness centers, restaurants, playgrounds and so many other activities that will make this adventure even more fun, the community may be your favorite part of your Florida vacation experience.
Comfortable Adventures at Home with Tropical Villas Orlando
As you wander through our Florida sanctuaries, you may not know where to look first, so many things will capture your attention and that’s ok, you have plenty of time to explore it all. Our living rooms invite you to kick off your shoes, curl up on the sofa with a good book, or to lose yourself in the magic of the small screens of the state of the art televisions that are a focal point in the room. Open concept floor plans allow guests to stay connected even as they do their own thing in each space. Maybe mom will be scrolling through her posts online at the dining room table, dad will be “watching” TV (but we all know he will be asleep before the end of the show) in the living room, and the kids will be coloring in their coloring books while seated at the breakfast bar in our fully equipped kitchens and with a quiet remark, a muffled giggle, or a glance and all will be right in your world!
Luxury Amenities
We’ve discussed the amenities of the community and now it is time to discuss the amenities you can find in our Orlando sanctuaries. We make it our mission to spoil and pamper our guests and we do so with a long list of luxury amenities. Wine refrigerators and wet bars may be in the kitchens, game rooms may be furnished with gaming tables, arcade games, and game consoles, and back yards will offer private pools, hot tubs, and propane grills. High-speed internet will let guests work from home even as they are thousands of miles away from their own homes, and quiet corners may be where you can participate in virtual meetings. Baby gear is often available, cribs, pack n plays, even strollers can sometimes be rented for an additional cost and many of our places provide a Welcome Food Basket filled with snacks and beverages, something that is always appreciated, especially on the first night when guests don’t feel like going out to shop for groceries. Many properties are pet friendly and many pools can be heated, both at additional costs. Theater rooms are popular, especially in our Florida Film Festival accommodations, because, well you know, you can never watch enough movies!
