Overlooked By Football Fanatic Husbands, Ladies Devise Their Own Game Plan With The 'Football Widows Revenge' Weekend Getaway

Tired of blaring TV’s and disregarding husbands, ladies team up with a game plan of their own this football season with the ‘FOOTBALL WIDOWS REVENGE’ weekend getaway at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, starting at $250* per person/night for any weekend, Sept. 9, 2005 through Feb. 5, 2006. From private luxury poolside cabanas and upscale shopping to ‘shop till-you drop’ spa treatments and personal concierge, girlfriends find sweet revenge in Orlando this fall.

FOOTBALL WEEKEND WIDOWS REVENGE -- $250* PER PERSON/NIGHT
• Private cabana for a day • ‘Shop till you drop’ spa treatments • Culinary Journey at Zen • MVP Breakfast in Bed
• Tuxedo Strawberries & Champagne upon arrival • Sweet Revenge Chocolate Martinis

Gal pals kick off the rejuvenating weekend by spending the day basking in the luxury of the formal pool with their exclusive private poolside cabana, donning luxurious robes and being waited on hand and foot. While soaking up the sun, SPRITZ STEWARDS “sprinkle” sunbathing gals too tired to take a dip, while the POOL CONCIERGE provides cool towels and cold fruit to beat the heat.

Desperate for a little retail therapy, ladies can take advantage of their personal concierge and trade in the mini-van for the snazzier wheels of a Jaguar or Hummer as they cruise to The Mall of Millenia to indulge with Chanel, Tiffany & Company, Burberry, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. After a day of endless shopping, girlfriends revive tired bodies and tootsies with ‘Shop till you drop’ spa treatments from pedicures to massages at the full service European-style spa. If ladies need a “2-point safety” of their own the resort offers a ‘hide the purchases’ shipping service, where shopping goodies will be discretely sent home, raising no eyebrows from curious husbands.

As the guys partake in a pizza and beer dinner at home, gal pals sip on Sweet Revenge Chocolate Martinis and savor The Zen Experience, a sampling of the entire gourmet Pan-Asian fare menu at Zen. After their soiree, “wives” retire to luxurious accommodations with plush bathrobes and expansive marble vanities with lighted-makeup mirrors and Swiss Institute Amenities. Touchdown chants are the furthest thought away as ladies awake to a well-deserved MVP (Most Valuable Parent) breakfast in bed.
