Our Final Thoughts

We have now been back in the “working world” for two days. Orlando was an amazing adventure and something that we will never forget. Since we have been back, we have received lots of questions about the 67 Days of Smiles promotion. People seem interested in knowing what they could expect from us, if we are chosen. We even had a person tell Tyler it would be cool to get paid for a vacation. Tyler kindly responded that it would be more like what Lindsay calls Tyler’s golf/work trips, a “work-cation.” Of course it would be a lot of fun, but it would also be a lot of work. Most people don’t do daily blog updates with pictures and videos or constant twitter feeds throughout their vacation.

So, what can people expect from us if we are the lucky pair to be selected as Orlando’s Smile Ambassadors? We would make sure that there are daily blog updates (including pictures and videos) and continuous twitter feeds to keep everyone in the loop about what we would be doing. No matter how long the day is, we understand that this is a job just like any other and it is our obligation to deliver daily blogs and constant tweets to our followers. Also, our blogs would help show off the event we participated in; after a great play or concert we may be in the mood to tell the story through poetry or after an enchanting day at Disney maybe we would tell the story as a fairytale.

We would also get our followers involved in our trip as much as possible by posting restaurant menus, museum attractions and different local events during our free time to allow our followers to vote on what we should eat or do while in Orlando. Of course the Orlando CVB will have a schedule of events for us to complete, but we would like our followers to have a say in our events as well. Whether it is what we should eat for dinner or what local bar or band to check out that evening, we want their opinion and input! We would make it a goal of ours to continue to find new ways to keep our followers coming back throughout the entire 67 days.

Our followers could also expect different segments in our blog. We would include things like “Guys-view,” where Tyler would talk about the activities and events from a male perspective. On the other side of that, we could include “Woman’s Word,” which would give our followers Lindsay’s point of view. Also, going to college in Florida, we still have lots of friends in the area. We would love to have them come into town on occasion so we can really show everyone what it would be like to have a “Girls Night Out” or a “Guys Golf Weekend” in this great city. These segments would be featured every couple of weeks and would help give our followers a wide range of ideas when planning any future trips to Orlando. We also have family that lives close by, so we could have occasional family posts. One post could be “Grandparent’s Day” while another could be a “Day with Mom and Dad”. Having family and friends close by would allow us to bring other views of the city to our followers.

Another segment that we would be very excited to bring you is the “Key to …” segment. Whether it is the “Key to having fun while at Universal Studios” or the “Key to an inexpensive night out in Downtown Orlando,” these “Key points” would make sure our followers get the most out of the city when they visit. The “Key to…” segment would be a more regular occurrence in our blogs, tweets and videos to make sure our followers get all the “Key” information they need.

We are honored to have even been selected as finalists for the 67 Days of Smiles promotion. To represent the largest tourism city in the world would be incredible. Orlando has so many secrets and experiences locked away that are waiting to be revealed. It would be amazing to be the Keys that Unlock Orlando.
