    I've seen a couple different threads all over the boards with people listing they'd booked already. I'll never keep it straight. A tally of who's staying where would be nice.


    I don't know yet. Beth will inform me of that. :p

    Edit: What are some of the amenities of the hotel you picked?








    Let's lock this thread so we can keep the main one going.

    Eden and I are staying at the Convention Center SpringHill Suites. There will probably be a few other people there with us, but we've yet to make concrete plans with anyone else.

    The announcement said that they would have blocks of rooms with a convention rate available in January. Since I'm only a 'maybe' right for going, it's still too soon for reservations for me.

    I'm staying at the Embassy Suites 6 blocks down. I'm driving but will probably walk. Or both bits closer than my C 4 hotel was. I want a fridge and microwave so we are staying there cause it's close and spacious.

    I am waiting until I see what blocks of rooms have been booked. Not sure if I really want somewhere that is in walking distance or not as the weather is going to be just shy of awful that time of year and walking around in it AFTER having walked around all day isn't something I'm too keen on doing unless I have no alternative.

    On the other hand, I do have some family in the area, so I might look into that option as well...

    Am I the only one who likes the idea of staying at a villa better than a hotel? They're bigger, better, and cost less (per person) than hotel rooms. I think there are some near the Convention Center. Not certain though.

    Check out these.

    Rosen Centre. It is literally across the street from the convention center so it doesn't get any closer than that.

    I think that's a really cool idea if you could get enough people together to make it worthwhile.

    I booked 4 rooms at the Clarion Inn & Suites and 4 rooms at the Red Roof Inn, both about a block (or less) away:

    Though they would need to be within a few miles of the Convention Center. I've been searching for some close to it and have hardly had any luck so far. The villas seem to be mostly on the semi-rural outskirts of the Orlando area. Though it would be totally awesome if there are plenty in town that I've been overlooking.

    Really? I keep coming across them on google maps when I'm looking at the hotels. And amazingly at least for me and the time I'm looking at staying, they seem to cost about the same as a hotel room would.

    My seven yr old son & I are making a 9 day vacation out of this, so we're gonna be at the Econolodge($35 a night) All we need is a place to lay our head at night, because we plan on being away from our room as much as possible! :D

    I have 3 places booked so far:

    1) A Hojos 5 miles away for $32 a night
    2) The Clarion
    3) On a wait list for a condo

    Folks, reserve now before the rates skyrocket. You can always cancel the rooms later.

    I haven't made the final decision to go or not; simply due to the fact that one does not simply go to Orlando and NOT go to the theme parks. It would need to be a two week vacation, and I'd be staying at the Pop Century at WDW. Maulie and I stayed there when I took her to WDW for her birthday in 07 and they treated us extremely well.

    I haven't made a decision on going yet. So, I'll just wait until they open whatever hotel room block they have. Walking distance to the convention center would be my priority.

    ok, quick change; if we do go, it will be near the con for about 4-5 days (then can hit Universal/Sea World since they're nearby), then go to WDW for a week starting immediately following the con; Value season starts August 15th :p

    Got my room at the Days Inn not too far from the convention center. :cool:

    Don't want to have to depend on shuttle service. Short walk..better than the hike I had to do at CIV.

    I am booked at the Clarion Inn & Suites with my roomies. It os real close to the center and cheap especially with roomates. We always book early because it is hard for us to get those hotel blocks. In the maps it shows our hotel right across from the convention parking lot and since we are driving it is perfect. :D
