Where to Stay for SIX in Orlando — 2026 Group Guide

SIX at the Dr. Phillips Center — June 2 to 7, 2026

The lights cut to black. Six microphones. Six crowns. Six women who were footnotes in a man's story take the stage and rewrite history as a pop concert. This is SIX — the Tony Award-winning sensation that turned Henry VIII's six wives into pop superstars — and it's at the Dr. Phillips Center for six electrifying nights.

80 minutes. No intermission. All energy. The audience is on their feet before the finale. Your friend group, your theatre club, your birthday squad — they're buzzing. And now comes the part that makes or breaks the trip: where does everyone go after?

At a hotel, you go to your rooms. Separately. The energy dies in an elevator. At Wizard's Way, you go home together. To a fantasy estate with a pool, a cinema, and a Great Hall where the after-party is already set up. The show was the opener. Your evening is the headliner.

SIX is the show that friend groups, birthday squads, and theatre clubs travel for. It is ninety minutes of pure unfiltered joy — six performers with the vocal power of arena pop stars performing in a space intimate enough to feel every note. And when those six performers take their final bow, your group of twelve is vibrating with energy that needs somewhere to go.

A hotel lobby is not that place. A hotel elevator is not that place. A private estate with a pool glowing under the stars, a cinema with reclining seats, and a game room where the competitive energy continues — that is the place.

Picture This: Your SIX After-Party

Your group pulls up to the estate and someone gasps. The Dragon's Keep has actual scaled walls. The Wizard's Study has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The Grand Platform Suite has castle turrets. Every room is a set piece — and your group just came from a show where set design is everything.

Someone connects to the Sonos and the SIX soundtrack is already playing poolside. The heated pool is glowing. The jacuzzi is perfect. Half the group is in the Whispering Woods cinema debating whether Boleyn or Parr had the best number. The other half is in the Enchanted Arcade running a pool tournament.

By midnight, six friends are sitting around the Great Hall dining table — a 12-person custom banquet table with a throne chair at the head — and someone says 'This is the best trip we've ever done.' That sentence doesn't happen at a Marriott. It happens here.

The Great Hall is where the trip becomes legend. It is not just a dining room — it is a twelve-person banquet table with a throne chair at the head, vaulted ceilings above, warm candlelight-style lighting, and the kind of atmosphere where conversations go deep instead of dying at the surface. Your group will sit there until the wine runs out and someone finally says they should probably go to bed. Nobody will actually go to bed.

This is what a SIX trip is supposed to feel like. The show gives you 80 minutes of pure adrenaline. The estate gives you three days of pure magic. Together, it's a trip your group will reference for the next decade.

The Group Chat Math

Screenshot this for your group text right now:

Downtown Orlando hotel: $200-300/night per room. Group of 12 in 4 rooms = $800-1,200/night. Everyone's on different floors. You eat at the hotel restaurant for $50/person. You see each other at the show and that's basically it.

Wizard's Way: $350-500/night total for the entire estate. Nine bedrooms. Thirteen beds. Private pool, cinema, game room, full kitchen. Split among 12 people: $29-42 per person per night.

That's less than a single hotel room. For a Forbes award-winning fantasy estate with a private pool and a home cinema. The person who finds this deal and sends it to the group chat? Theatre group MVP. The birthday organizer who made the whole weekend happen. Birthday organizer of the decade. The friend everyone thanks for years.

And unlike the hotel, you get five full bathrooms (no morning mirror fights), a gourmet kitchen (pre-show dinner for 12 costs a fraction of restaurant prices), outdoor TVs with Sonos speakers (SIX soundtrack on repeat by the pool), and a game room where the competitive energy from the show continues all night.

How Far Is Wizard's Way from Dr. Phillips Center?

Thirty minutes via I-4 from ChampionsGate to 445 South Magnolia Avenue in downtown Orlando. Easy parking downtown for evening shows. Most groups split an Uber XL — less than $5 per person each way.

SIX runs six nights with performances at various times. Most groups book 2-3 nights and build a mini-vacation around the show. Walt Disney World is 15 minutes from the estate. Universal Orlando and Epic Universe are 25 minutes. SeaWorld is 20 minutes.

The beauty of a short run like SIX is that it creates natural urgency — six nights, then it's gone. The estate is the anchor that turns one show into a full Orlando experience. See SIX on Friday night, Disney on Saturday, pool day Sunday, fly home Monday with a story your group will tell forever.

For groups flying in, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is 35 minutes from the estate. Most groups rent one or two cars or arrange a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for the group. The estate has free driveway parking for 4-6 vehicles — no hotel parking fees of twenty-five dollars per car per night. That alone saves a hundred dollars over a three-night stay for a group with four cars.

The estate is also perfectly positioned between Orlando's two major resort clusters. Walt Disney World is south, Universal and Epic Universe are north, and Wizard's Way sits right in between in ChampionsGate — making it the ideal central base for groups who want to hit multiple parks during their trip.

Nine Rooms Your Squad Will Fight Over

Every bedroom at Wizard's Way tells its own story — and for a SIX group, the room assignment debate is half the fun.

The Emerald Serpent Suite is dark, dramatic, and perfect for whoever claims to be the Boleyn of the group. The Honeylight Suite is warm and golden — Parr energy. The Dragon's Keep has a four-poster king bed and medieval vibes that Catherine of Aragon would approve of. The Grand Platform Suite has castle turrets. The Wizard's Study has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a writing desk.

For groups with kids: the Skybound Suite has bunk beds and adventure theming, and the Understairs Nook is a hidden secret room that kids discover and immediately claim. Five full bathrooms mean nobody fights for shower time before the show.

Nine bedrooms. Thirteen beds. Your group will assign rooms based on which queen they stan — and it will be the most heated group chat discussion of the entire trip planning process. Expect screenshots. Expect lobbying. Expect alliances forming and breaking. This is the content that makes trip planning actually fun instead of a logistical chore.

And when you arrive, the room reveals are half the experience. Watching your friend walk into the Dragon's Keep for the first time and say something unprintable is worth the entire trip. Every room in this house earns a reaction. Every reaction becomes a story. Every story gets retold for years.

Insider Tips: Parking, Dining, and What to Know

Everything your group needs for a smooth SIX experience:

Parking: City Commons Parking Garage or 77 E. Jackson Street Garage. Pre-purchase valet online when you buy tickets — opens 2 hours before showtime.

Pre-Show Dinner: Dr. Phillips Center is surrounded by restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Top picks for groups: Kres Chophouse (classic steakhouse), The Boheme at Grand Bohemian (fine dining), Solita Tacos (margaritas and guac). Book ahead for groups of 6+.

What to Wear: No dress code. SIX crowds skew fun and festive — you'll see everything from cocktail dresses to SIX tour merch tees. Wear what makes you feel like a queen.

Show Length: 80 minutes, no intermission. Arrive 45 minutes early for ticket scanning and finding your seats. Concession bars on every floor.

Merch: SIX has some of the best Broadway merch. Budget time after the show for the merch table if your group is into it.

Group Photos: The Dr. Phillips Center lobby has several great photo spots. Arrive early and get your group shots before the show — after the show the lobby is packed and everyone is trying to leave. The fountain area outside is beautiful at night for group photos with the venue lit up behind you.

Accessibility: The Walt Disney Theater at Dr. Phillips Center is fully accessible with wheelchair seating, assistive listening devices, and open captioning for select performances. Check the Dr. Phillips Center website for specific accessible performance dates.

Nearby Activities: Downtown Orlando has plenty to do before or after the show. Lake Eola Park is a 10-minute walk for a pre-show stroll. Wall Street Plaza has bars and nightlife for the after-party crew. Church Street has restaurants and shops. Your group can easily fill a full evening downtown before heading back to the estate.

As Featured in Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and More

Wizard's Way has been featured by Forbes, Travel + Leisure, House Beautiful, and a dozen other publications. Media critics call it one of the most immersive vacation homes in the country.

SIX fans appreciate bold choices and attention to detail — the same qualities that make Wizard's Way special. A generic hotel doesn't match the energy of a show that reinvented Broadway. This does. Every room is a statement. Every space tells a story. Your group will spend as much time photographing the house as they do the show.

Book Your SIX Group Stay

Book direct at wizardswayhouse.com — zero platform fees.

SIX runs June 2 through 7, 2026 at the Dr. Phillips Center. Six nights only. Here's your ideal trip:

Day 1: Arrive. Settle in. Explore the estate. Cook dinner together in the Alchemist's Kitchen. Day 2: Disney or Universal during the day. SIX at night. After-party at the pool. Day 3: Sleep in. Pool day. Cinema marathon. Game room tournament. Brunch at the house.

Pro tip: SIX is only six nights in Orlando. This is not a month-long Hamilton run where you can procrastinate. Six nights means six chances to see the show, and once those dates are gone, they are gone. The best group accommodation books even faster than the tickets themselves — because every other group attending SIX is having the same conversation your group chat is having right now. The difference is whether you act on it or let it become another almost-trip that never happened.

Direct booking at wizardswayhouse.com comes with flexible cancellation, no platform fees, and the best available rate. If your plans change, you are covered. If they do not change — and they will not, because this trip is going to be legendary — you just locked in the stay that makes the whole thing work.
