Good morning, Kissimmee.

On Monday May 26, a Memorial Day Wreath Laying Ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.—St. Cloud’s Mt. Peace Cemetery, 755 East 10th Street—and a second ceremony will be held at 4 p.m.—the 65TH Infantry Veterans Park, 301 Buenaventura Blvd.—both events let locals honor those who died in military service.

Hotels and vacation homes in Kissimmee saw a boost in bookings after Epic Universe opened on Thursday as local families and domestic travelers plan for Memorial Day weekend trips.

One local hotel reported a 9% occupancy increase (Meliá Orlando Celebration) while a vacation home operator noted more staycations are expected (Top Tier at Reunion).

Checkers employee Elijah Mackey, 23, who works just steps from Fun Spot, remained behind bars after a judge denied his bond on Friday for allegedly shooting 32-year-old Wesley Robertson at 10 p.m. Wednesday during a dispute over a food order — the suspect fled the scene before being caught.

Deputies arrested 29-year-old Amandalee Kasilowski and 25-year-old Iain Cade-Alamin Petrie in connection to an April 26 robbery at the Red Lion Hotel after a victim was lured through an online meetup—investigators say the victim lost his wallet, phone, keys and $2,180 while the investigation continues.
