EDC Orlando

I’ve been going to this festival for two years! I love love love EDC. It’s a great experience to meet and connect with fun people and just be a kid for two days. The drinks are fairly priced and they have a credit system they use. But be careful. You’ll end up spending more than you realize because you aren’t paying with your card lol other than that just enjoy it! It goes by so fast! Excited to head back in 2016!

If you’ve never been to a massive rave and you’ve got EDC Vegas on your mind… stop here first.
EDC Orlando is a baby EDC Vegas, as are the other «On the Road to Vegas» EDC festivities are. Having been to EDC Vegas in addition to EDC New York, I’d say this falls right in line. But I will say, for this time of year (fall) the location’s climate was a happy escape.
My first encounter was will call — which for this festival’s size, you would’ve thought that they would’ve planned for more representatives… however, it could have also been WAY worse. Just plan to stand in line a bit before heading in
Security was kind of sporadic, honestly. The first day I felt that we got in fairly quick and were still searched slightly thorough. The second day was the complete opposite.
Once we arrived in the actual festival, it was freedom! Ha! The festival is actually kind of close together… or maybe it’s just how big all of the festival stages are getting that makes it seem that way? Kenetic and Circuit Grounds were closer together than I’ve ever seen before. It didn’t effect the sound within each stage’s area *too* much though.
I did really enjoy the ride options that they had. I have never seen a zipline at an EDC before. There wasn’t a crazy amount of comfortable relaxation spots, but I did notice some really nice areas!
There was an entire food truck area, which Orlando has it’s one up on Vegas. It just sucked that the lines were so long. It would have also been nice to just have access to the lower level area… similar to how EDC NYC has one stage inside their stadium. But, different spaces in different places.
Overall, I would consider making the trip out for this festival again. It’s pretty convenient that you’re also near DisneyWorld and Universal for pre and/​or post fest activity options. Hotels in the Universal area aren’t an expensive Über to Tinker Field either! I also felt that it was much less crowded than some of the other festivals.

I went to EDC Orlando for the first time this year! We took a limo to the event so we didn’t have to worry about parking or finding an über (without surcharges) which was convenient for our large group. The lighting, special effects, and fireworks really pulled each DJs performances together. The music was great as you should expect! There was plenty of space to dance and have a great time! Expect to see tons of interesting costumes, which I think is one of the best parts about this festival! All the bars served drinks in a timely manner which was surprising to me because I didn’t have VIP. The two things I think they should change for next year are the bathrooms and the long line to get in. It was an hour wait to enter the venue, I’m not sure if this is normal because it was my first time. They didn’t have enough women security guards to pat down the ladies and the men’s line moved pretty fast, needless to say we were split up from our group for a while. With that many people the service was horrible which didn’t help us find the rest of our group, taking even more time away from the fun. You couldn’t use the bathrooms until you got into the event even though there were bathrooms before the security check. I’m sure this has to do with safety reasons so that’s completely understandable but by the time we got into the venue the bathrooms had no soap. I’m sure most people at festivals are not worried about washing their hands but I have to say next time I’ll consider getting VIP just for the nicer bathrooms. Overall I had a great time at EDC Orlando and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to go to an EDM festival!

The festival withdrawals are still all too real after this weekend. Electric Daisy Carnival Orlando remains one of my favorite festivals to go to.
This year (2015) they thankfully rearranged the setup of the stages and had the Kinetic Field (Main Stage) at the end again as opposed to being the middle stage. This definitely helped with the flow of traffic. Not to mention is great for me as I usually find myself bouncing between the Circuit Grounds and that which is the Neon Garden, so this cut down on the walking time between stages. Shout out to the Trance Family because the Gardens vibes were incredible! The bass at the Neon Garden literally rattled my insides to the point members of our group had to pull back towards the middle.
I’ve been extremely impressed with every EDCO and this last one was no exception. Plenty of rides to jump on (if you can stand the lines,) plenty of food options, and of course, plenty of good vibes. Lots to see while walking from stage to stage. Art instillations and a plethora of costumed party goers to blow your mind every step of the way!
Security seemed to be under the directive to not bother glovers and flow artists which is a huge plus! Only issue is that the main stage sound system seemed to have a problem and audibly cut out and then stayed at a drastically lower level Saturday. Still had a blast though.
Believe in the insomniac magic and head to next years EDCO, I’ll meet you there beneath the electric sky!

I’ve attended every EDCO since coming to Orlando. What is there not to say about this festival? This is where my love and passion began. Although this was not my first event or festival I attended, this is where my heart is. There’s something about this venue and this festival that makes every experience I’ve had here amazing.
To begin, the venue is the perfect size to walk from stage to stage without feeling like you have to run a track field to see your next DJ. The time of year for this event is perfect, not too cold and not too hot.
The environment here always gives off good vibes. I meet great people, dance the night away to good music, and create experiences and memories I will never forget. If you have never been to an event or festival related to edm (or even if you have), I suggest edc orlando. You won’t look back!

This was a really nice festival. Armin Van Buren was outstanding as usual. The lines for the rides were quite long, but they sure were fun once you arrived. With different stages, you could walk around and catch many different acts.

Much better than Electric Zoo.
Lines: ¹⁄₅
–The efficiency of the lines were poor. People would cut in line, jump the barricade making the wait from ID check to security check 30 – 90 minutes. I missed half of Cosmic Gate bc of their poor engineering!
EDC: 4.5÷5
–I felt the sound and production were better at EDC than EZoo.
–The selection of DJs was well worth the 2-​day pass.
–The best DJs came on around 8pm and that’s when I had the most fun
–EDC is a different experience than Ezoo. There were more exciting things that happened like large LED octopus, multiple large EDC balls being pushed around, a large ant, a 20 foot puppet, etc.
–Armin, Porter Robinson, Cosmic Gate, Tritonal, Tiesto, Morgan Page were all amazing. Loved the light shows and I loved the feeling of the bass hitting your whole body. I had an amazing time!
Would I go back? yeah but for EDC Las Vegas!
