Girls in Wonderland is the largest women’s group that holds events during Orlando’s big June weekend and is one of the longest running events that is tied to the original Gay Day at the Magic Kingdom. Started by Amy Alonso, Alison Burgos and Yesenia Leon of Pandora Events, Girls in Wonderland offers up a series of events for the women of the community.
The Girls are back this year at a new host hotel — the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive, located at 8001 International Dr. in Orlando. Set amid tropical gardens, the Wyndham Orlando Resort is minutes from Universal Studios, SeaWorld Orlando and The Wheel at ICON Park, and offers tons of amenities including on-site dining at the Gatorville Poolside Bar & Grill, a lobby bar, two pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center with saunas and steam rooms, room service and more.
Below you’ll find information on Girls in Wonderland’s events. Weekend passes are available, prices are subject to change and all events are 21 and up. For more information, visit GirlsInWonderland.com and read the rest of Watermark’s coverage of Orlando’s big LGBTQ+ weekend here.
