Star Wars Celebration VI

I recall at least 4 Rebel Pilots running in the pouring rain to catch the trolley.......

.........did not have a heart attack = good

..........and one of my most memorable moments of CV included DH, SC, T, and I

............when we jumped on the bus, the driver states: The Force is with us folks......I will never forget that....

...............it is the "little things"...yes?

I have no issue with August other than I think it is a really really bad business decision considering Dragon Con is 2 weeks later....?

 

It's actually the very next weekend.

 

Hum... just saw this and found out the dates. And here Omar and I were talking about heading to Orlando next year anyways to take the jawa to Disney and Universal. Maybe we just found out dates to go but it depends on the family.

 

I don't think Reed even factors that in.

75% of the people going probably don't even know what DragonCon is.

 

Yeah, that really was amazing. I was about to keel over and pass out, but other than that little detail, good times with good friends.

 

Just called Extended Stay. They can't book this far in advance, hotel clerk says only six months in advance, yet website will let me book up to May 2012. The Deluxe is aware of my RV parking problem (taking the motorhome and staying at ES Deluxe), and has agreed to let me park way out in back and to make note of it when I make reservations. Azman and I stayed at the ES (regular) and it was just fine (and cheap, too!). I'm planning to stay there again just so I can have a place to park the Beast. I'll know more of my plans when I get back from Omaha. ES might be the headquarters of the R2-Central club...

 

Uh, I would say that 80% of the people that are going know EXACTLY what Dragon Con is.... too many attendees complained about how close the cons were last year. Too bad I won't have that much vacation time or money to go to both. It's a four-day drive there, five days for the con (got to help setup droid room Wed), a couple days for Disney, etc if I have the money, four days driving back (I don't do 30 hour straight through drives, so no comments on that, please).

I still can't turn these things into links Semitard, that's me.

So here is a map that someone in the CVI thread made, just like last time.

 

If you are a member of the 501st or RL, you still can reserve rooms at the Rosen Center, which is the closest Hotel. If you are a member, log in and get it. For those of you that haven't submitted yet, Get Your App In

 

It is unlikely I will be able to attend, I want stories!!!!

 

FYI, I think that the Peabody is actually the closest hotel to the event. It is right across I-Drive from the event location, whereas the Rosens are on the far ends.

 

While the Peabody looks closer on the map, I can assure you that it is on the opposite side of the convention that we'll be using. I almost booked the Peabody last year, and while it is all connected by habitrails, it is a very long walk, indeed.

The Rosen Centre is the closest. I often cut through there on the way to the convention to cool off!

 

nice i don't care if i have to walk farther as long as it is in the AC!!!

 

I live here. If the CVI is in the same area in the same space as CV, Peabody is the closest. there is a crosswalk right across the street with a light and everything. If CVI is in the new expansion of the convention center, Peabody is still on the same side of the street.

The original Orange Convention Center is pretty long, about half a mile. The distance across the street is about half the distance from either the Rosen Plaza or the Rosen Center.

If I were going to stay in a hotel I would stay at the Peabody...but I'll prolly just drive down 408 to I-4.

 

IF they are planning to have the convention in the same place (West Concourse), here is a picture.

B. is the Rosen CENTRE and according to THIS pix, (see below) here are the hotels that are connected.

Ok here is another view...the Rosen Centre (#9) is directly connected to the WEST Convention Building, which is where it was last year.

 

Ok so i booked a room at the Rosen CENTRE...Wed-Sunday and i will check into another cheaper hotel that day. When we went last month, we got a hotel for only $49 a nite and it was walking distance to US. I want to go to HP and Disney while i am there. HOPEFULLY the new Beast castle will be open by then at DW.

 

So is the Rosen Centre, Rosen Plaza, or Peabody the hotel of choice for the RMFF? Perhaps we can firm this up at the meeting so we can all make reservations and be all neighborly-like? Sounds like the Rosen Centre, but want to confirm.

 

There is no way in Hell I will move from one room to another on Sunday, your crazy!!!!

dh & I don't think we will do the parks the following days, I really want to go to D*Con, if I can talk him into it. I wouldn't mind seeing Washington DC then to Atlatna????

Plenty of time. I still want to go to Fandays this year

 

hey if we can save money i am for that. that would be fun for you guys if you've never been.

 

I would love to be at the Rosen Centre. I wasn't able to get tix when I tried.

I still have 7 rooms reserved at the Rosen Plaza (which I think is on the opposite side of the Convention Center)

If I had to vote (and we were able to get enough rooms) Rosen Centre

I cannot be at the meeting, so that would be my vote. That said, I just want to have fun

 

We will be staying at Embassey Suits due to the room separation and the breakfast. But if you guys can get the Rosen Cenre, you should.
