GAME ON

WESTGATE RESORTS BRINGS VACATION SPIRIT TO UCF FOOTBALL

rlando visitors can add a little Black & Gold excitement to their getaway as Westgate Resorts teams up with UCF Athletics for the upcoming football, basketball, and baseball seasons. There’s a lot more to an Orlando vacation than theme parks and thrill rides. This fall, visitors looking to experience a little hometown flavor can add college football to the itinerary as Westgate Resorts teams up with UCF Athletics.

I LOVE ORLANDO

Fall / Winter 2026-2027

The Orlando-based hospitality company has been named the Official Vacation Resort Partner of the Knights, bringing together two organizations with deep connections to Central Florida. The partnership puts Westgate front and center at UCF’s Acrisure Bounce House, where its logo has a prominent place at midfield beneath the UCF stacked logo.

But for vacationers heading to a game, the partnership is about more than what they’ll see on the field. Throughout the 2026 football season, Westgate is adding its own brand of vacation-style fun to game day, including sponsorship of the halftime show, interactive activations, giveaways and other experiences for fans inside the stadium.

“Few things bring Central Florida together like UCF football, and we're excited to be part of that energy and excitement all season long,” said Jim Gissy, CEO of Westgate Resorts. “As Orlando's hometown hospitality company, we know how important great experiences are, whether you're on vacation or cheering on the Knights with family and friends.” For travelers, a Knights game offers another way to experience Orlando like a local. UCF competes in the Big 12 Conference and calls itself “Orlando’s Hometown Team,” making football Saturdays an opportunity for visitors to step beyond the traditional tourist itinerary and join Central Floridians in cheering on the home team. Westgate’s roots in the destination run equally deep. Founded in Orlando more than four decades ago, the company has grown into one of the nation’s leading hospitality companies, welcoming millions of guests annually to nearly 60 resorts across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Its resorts offer spacious villa accommodations, amenities and family-friendly experiences, with Orlando remaining at the heart of the company’s story.

And Knights fans have an added reason to turn football into a getaway. As part of the partnership, Westgate is offering an exclusive four-day, three-night vacation offer for $199 that includes a $100 resort credit. Fans can choose from eight vacation destinations, including Orlando, creating an opportunity to build a trip around a Knights game. The partnership also arrives during a new chapter for the stadium itself. UCF’s 2026 home opener marked the official opening of the new Roth Tower, a four-level expansion featuring new premium seating, hospitality areas and game-day experiences at Acrisure Bounce House. For Westgate, supporting UCF is also an extension of its ties to the community where the company began in 1982. Gissy said the partnership reflects Westgate’s commitment to supporting its hometown university and investing in an institution that develops future leaders, drives economic opportunity and strengthens Central Florida. So, on your next Orlando getaway, consider trading roller coasters for touchdowns for an afternoon. Put on some Black & Gold, head to the Bounce House and discover another side of Orlando, one where hometown pride and vacation fun come together.

WINGSTO P

Wingstop Walk-in

they want their restaurants to be places neighborhoods recognize and support.

ingstop is more than a place to grab wings—it is a brand built around bold flavor, great food, and an experience that keeps guests coming back.

I LOVE ORLANDO

Fall / Winter 2026-2027

Across the Wingstop restaurants, their goal is simple: serve fresh, cooked-toorder food while delivering fast, accurate, and genuine hospitality. From their signature wings and hand-cut seasoned fries to their famous ranch and variety of bold flavors, they want every order to remind their guests why Wingstop is different.

But a great Wingstop is about more than what's in the bag. It's the energy when a guest walks through the door, the attention given to every order, and the team working together behind the counter. They are committed to developing strong General Managers and team members who take pride in their restaurants and understand that every guest experience matters. Wingstops are also becoming more connected to the communities surrounding them. Through Spirit Nights, school partnerships, local events, youth organizations, and community outreach,

As Wingstop continues to grow, so does responsibility to raise the standard. Great wings bring people through the door. Great operations, hospitality, and community involvement are what make them Wingstop fans. One brand. Bold flavor. Great experiences.

Travel Well. Enjoy More.

Tips for Staying Healthy During Your Central Florida Vacation Travel can disrupt routines, making it easier to feel run down. But a few simple habits can help you stay energized and ready for every adventure. • Stay hydrated. Between flights, theme parks and warm Florida afternoons, dehydration can sneak up on you. Carry a refillable water bottle and drink water regularly throughout the day to stay refreshed.

• Keep moving. You don't have to stick to your normal workout routine to stay active. A morning walk, an afternoon by the pool or exploring a local park can help boost energy, reduce stress and keep you feeling your best.

Even with the best planning, unexpected illnesses and injuries can happen. If they do, AdventHealth makes it easy to get the care you need so you can get back to your vacation faster. Whether you need a virtual visit from your hotel room, convenient urgent care, 24/7 emergency care, prescription delivery or help finding the right care, we’re here to help. Visit AdventHealth.com/StayHealthy to learn more about vacation-friendly healthcare resources or call 844-471HEAL (4325) to connect with our Care Concierge team.

I LOVE ORLANDO

Fall / Winter 2026-2027

all and winter are some of the busiest — and most exciting — times to visit Central Florida. Whether you're making magical memories with family, escaping colder weather or simply enjoying a welldeserved break, staying healthy can help you make the most of every moment.

• Balance the treats. Desserts and sweet treats are part of the fun, so enjoy them. Simply try filling up on fruits, vegetables and lean proteins first, then savor your favorite indulgences in moderation.

• Give yourself room to breathe. Travel often comes with packed schedules and high expectations. Leave a little flexibility in your plans, prioritize what matters most and don't forget to take moments to simply enjoy being together.
