I know the announcement just hit but were there any plans for a hotel block like C7 or anything like that?

Well the official hotel from last time the Rosen Center is already sold out, and according to expedia a lot of the hotels that are listed as close to the convention center are sold out too or nearly so. I went ahead and booked a reservation with a pay later and free cancellation option, but geeze that went FAST!

I wouldn't worry too much about that, to be honest. I'm no one special, nor do I have any inside information, but I bet that those rooms aren't actually sold out. They probably just listed them that way to keep everyone from overloading the system with reservations. That's what I'd do, anyways...

It's good that you have a back up plan though. 8)

EDIT: Also interested in room block info.

OnPeak (the vendor Celebration uses) is allotted a limited block of rooms, and it's those rooms that are sold out.

If you are a member of a chain's rewards program, you may be able to book a room at one of those same hotels for a comparable rate.  For instance, I'm a member of Hilton's rewards program, and I got a similar rate at the Hilton that the link through the Celebration webpage.

I also got a lower rate at the Days Inn as a federal government employee (yes, I'm that guy who sits on hotel reservations on rooms that have generous cancellation policies; I like options).

You might also call the hotel directly and make a reservation through the hotel's staff (who may also get you a better rate than the website).

Another nice thing about Orlando is that there are a gazillion rooms in the area.  So even if you end up having to drive a little ways from International Drive, US-192 or even the Disney property, you can probably get a room at a not-too inflated rate (Celebration is also during Spring Break season, so there will be a little bit of a bump in price).

I'm hoping the block is where I'm already booked so I don't have to do anything.

We booked a room at the Clarion.  It's on the other side of the Redd Roof Inn, next to the Rosen.  Just a quick jaunt across the parking lot, the the Rosen has a sky bridge to the center, so we can get out of any weather pretty quick.

We booked from Wednesday to Monday, so we can arrive a day early, then leave a day later after getting a good nights sleep before the drive home.

Always choose the option that allows you to cancel a room, with no pre-payments to your hold card.  That way you can periodically check other hotels to see if you can find either a better rate, or a closer one.

Thanks for the tip. I'm now booked there too! Hoping for a mercs block somewhere, but at least I know we have a room now.

I have no issues walking 4 blocks to a convention, which is why I reserved Red Roof (my stay at the ATL RR was fine, so I knew the hotel had decent rooms). Did it at C7 and it worked perfectly and there were no crowded hallways, no parties keeping me up til 4 am...nice sound sleep every night...but, each their own
