Private space — indoor & outdoor lakeside area
World of Beer
Lake Eola
After months of planning, scouting locations, and making sure everything was just right, we've landed on the perfect venue for our 40th. World of Beer on Lake Eola is one of Orlando's most beautiful spots — a large private space that opens right up to the lakeside patio, with a view of the iconic Lake Eola fountain and the downtown skyline behind it.
Whether you've stayed in Orlando all these years or you're making the trip back home, this is going to feel exactly like it should — a room full of the people you grew up with, great music, reception-style bites, and beverages — plus World of Beer's full cash bar if you want to keep the night going. A night that proves no time has passed at all.
The Night
Keeps Going
Then the night gets even better. Rich and Ray Miranda are taking over The Dust — just steps away in the same building — and if you know Rich and Ray, you already know what that means.
We're talking wall-to-wall 80s music, a packed dance floor, and a night that feels like no time has passed at all. This is a reunion within a reunion, and a lot of us have been waiting years for exactly this.
Don't Miss This One
This reunion is a ticketed event with limited availability. Once they're gone, they're gone. If this night is on your radar — and it should be — register now while you still can.
Tickets are limited and will not be available at the door.
Where to Stay
A variety of great options close to the venue — from a boutique inn steps from the lake to full-service downtown hotels.
The Eo Inn
A charming boutique hotel in a restored 1920s building, right on the northeast corner of Lake Eola Park — directly across the street from the venue. The most unique (and closest) lodging option for reunion night.
Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Downtown
Spacious two-room suites, complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, and a complimentary evening reception daily. Solid full-service option minutes from Lake Eola.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando Downtown
All-suite hotel with rooftop pool, rooftop firepit, free full breakfast, Starbucks on-site, and fully equipped kitchens. Great value for extended stays.
Marriott Orlando Downtown
High-rise comfort in the heart of downtown. Central Florida's only M Club Lounge and easy walkability to the venue.
Airbnb & VRBO — Thornton Park
The charming Thornton Park neighborhood surrounds Lake Eola with walkable bungalows, condos, and apartments — ideal for groups or those wanting a local feel.
