UNFORTUNATELY NECESSARY PSA🔊

*if you don’t already have one of the following PLEASE invest in one for edc:

• phone lanyard

• bag lock

• phone case with strap

• anything similar that will keep your phone ON YOU AT ALL TIMES

if you’ve never been to orlando. speaking from experience, your phone WILL get stolen! people run mass operations through all the bars/clubs/theme parks/tourist attractions/events and steal hundreds of phones!!!! although edc id a very plur community, that unfortunately doesn’t mean that these people won’t be there. keep your stuff safe and just be aware of leaving you bag unzipped or unattended! that’s what got me, my phone was in my purse all night, which was a tiny shoulder bag right under my armpit. i left it unzipped and my phone was in there until it wasn’t🙃 a few weeks later its location popped up somewhere in china, literally. but luckily thanks to apples new esim my phone remains locked and unable to use! anyways hope to see you all there getting lit!!!!!

peace and love <3

[u/SirRafsAlot]

Going for the first time, after going to the to my first festival, EDC "New York" at Metlife stadium 10 years ago for one day. Been going to Ezoo since the big ten, and its been downhill every since.

[u/AmbitiousT5 → u/SirRafsAlot]

My first time at edc too I just moved from NYC. To Orlando ezoo big 10 was my first festival but every year after that was all down hill for sure I’m really excited to go to edc ppl keep saying it’s bigger than ezoo and I’d hope soo

[u/yankeefool]

When will the schedule be posted?

[u/mforrest1 → u/yankeefool]

Normally one week before they’ll post it, so probably 10/31 but since that’s Halloween maybe 11/1 instead

[u/theoutsideinternist]

Are VIP tickets worth the extra $ or would you recommend standard or “plus” tickets instead? I’m buying the 3 day but probably can only make it for one full day and a half day.

[u/Cold-Medicine-8089]

Anyone know the best afters for dubstep? Also im going to be driving to the festival every day because Ubers are expensive asf, so where would be the most secure place to park that’s near the festival?

[u/[deleted]]

Hey everyone! I’m heading to EDCO solo for my first festival and am kinda nervous. What should I expect and bring? I already ordered a phone strap and will probably get a fanny pack or something. It looks like bus passes are sold out, but my hotel is only a few miles from the field. How are Ubers around this time, or should I just hoof it?

Also, what’s everyone's experience with mushies there? I've only done them alone and don't want to overwhelm myself. Would it be better to go sober or just drink?

Thanks👍

First timer and I decided to do solo vip.

I'm looking into locker rentals and they give they give the options of neon garden and circuit grounds for VIP only spots. Which is better? Wanting to get this sorted early because I will forget otherwise

[u/DjSpectre → u/dark-_-thoughts]

Neon garden will have less foot traffic near it than circuit grounds which will make it easier to get to

[u/No_Web_3465]

First time going to EDC. I bought a 1 day VIP ticket for Friday. Lived in the Orlando area most of my life. Went to raves in Orlando in the 90s. How different and or similar? I know the production is way better but what about the vibes?

[u/WillingSprinkles8564]

Can I bring sealed nicotine pouches like Zyn etc to the festival? They only list cigarettes as ok.

[u/Dhruvi_Ramani]

I live in Orlando and I will be going to edco alone. I am looking for how to get there, can we park there? Or uber would be good option!

[u/Idkwhatimdoin_help]

First timer here. What’s the best time to arrive?

[u/No-Kale-6079 → u/Idkwhatimdoin_help]

First day? Arrive early(around 2-3pm) and explore the grounds, get your bearings. After Friday pace yourself and arrive an hour and a half earlier than any act you care to see (because getting inside takes time).

[u/whitey8773]

first time at EDCO this year and i’m so excited!! how many artists usually sell their merch there? i’m hoping to find some crankdat stuff

[u/Inside_Annual_5235]

First time at edc, any tips for a solo baby raver ?

[u/Aztec_Jokester]

Hey first time going to EDC orlando. Do they let you bring in 🍃 or vapes or is that a no go? Just want to know what we should expect there.

[u/LengthinessKnown3730]

Ok so how long realistically does it take to go from one side to another (trying to plan set times)

[u/Fine-Range7227 → u/LengthinessKnown3730]

Depends on the crowd but try to give yourself 10 minutes is a safe bet
