    A couple people have mentioned interest in attending dragon con in 2018. The Westin is booking today if you have any interest. It does require a 1 night non-refundable deposit. If it says no rooms are available, you can keep trying as they release them in blocks during the day. It is difficult to get rooms at DC. 3 of the 5 host hotels sell rooms to those who stayed the previous year. That leaves the Westin which sells today and the Marriot which should go on sale in later September or October.

    The October 5th date may not be accurate. The site shows it as Wed, but this year the 5th is on Thursday. That might be last years date. I will post when I find out more.

    Full 4 day Dragon Con memberships are currently $85 until 9/22/17. After Sept. 22nd, they go up in price and then go up every so often. If you wait til next August they would probably by in the $150-160 range. (It is really a 5 day membership as there are now official events that happen on Thursday.)

    No official word on when the Marriott goes on sale. Best guess at this point is 10/4/17, but nothing is certain yet.

    Official Hotel updates!

    Marriott is officially listed as Wed, Oct 11 at 9am.
    Available Hyatt rooms will be open for booking on October 4th at 11am. (Hyatt allows attendees from the previous year to book 1st. So this will be the rooms that people did not re-book. It will go fast since it will be a relatively small number of rooms.) Hyatt allows a full refund if you cancel by January 1st. So, even if you want the Marriott, you could try for a Hyatt room first.

    The final DC hotel (Marriott) goes on sale tomorrow (10/11/17) at 9am EST in case anyone is interested. Links can be found here: http://www.dragoncon.org/?q=host_hotels_view#Marriott. If you do want to try, make sure you save the link you want early because the DC Web Site will crash at some point tomorrow morning before the rooms go on sale.
