Electric Daisy Carnival, the electronic dance music festival that takes over Orlando’s Tinker Field each year, is expected to drive stiffer competition than usual for hotel rooms this fall as it has attracted the world’s best-known DJs for back-to-back performances — and will coincide with a Justin Timberlake concert.
