Don't think it is a golf tournament, I believe it is a product expo at the convention center. I'm still looking into it and will know more in the next few days. I will keep you all informed.

Hi gents, it's great to see an event being planned for Orlando. Long overdue. Being a town car driver in the city I can tell you from experience to try and plan AWAY from the larger shows such as the PGA. Traffic on I drive can be a total hassle. Police also have high visibility sometimes parking cars with lights on at all major intersections. Yes the room rates will increase. Everyone does know where the Convention Center is just off the Beachline or 528 making it easy. As far as hotels there are many right accross the st not to mention the new Hilton. However I would not recommend the Hilton due to the careless valets parking the cars in a very tight garage risking damage. Some people stayed at the Days Inn, for the last HIN event 2 years ago but it is NASTY. There are others like the redone Clarion directly behind it on Hawaiian Court. Booking for a somewhat large group will always get you a discount. Denny's, Ihop, McDonalds all within walking distance. Also dont stay at the Rosen Center directly accross from the CC. Another nasty old property. I Drive has are gazillion places like Bahama Breeze for after events. The parking lot out back for the NORTH bldg of the CC is huge. Staging for over 300 cars for HIN took place there. Sea World is 3 minutes away on I Drive and Disney is maybe 15 minutes west on I-4. Will be glad to help out with any more questions or concerns as best I can.

THe last time i was in orlando i stayed at

(This is NOT the hilton MRSUPRA is referring to)

It's on the very outskirts of disney property meaning you get busses to/from the parks. There is also ample outdoor self-parking (aka, no valets or garages)... just my $0.02

There are so many places to stay in that area. The question is which of you want to spend more than $100 a night. The rates range from 30 to 100+ a night. Remember you get what you pay for. I am going to find the best place for your dollar, secure and designated parking, free shuttling to area attractions. For this large of a group we'll get the best rate. I would'nt let you guys stay at a place I won't park my car at. So far away still, we have plenty of time for me to locate reasonable accomadations.

Hi gang, the Hilton Oztiks mentioned is accross from Downtown Disney on Hotel Plaza Blvd. Very tired property. Downtown Disney has changed in the past year away from the nightclub scene. Now mostly shops and eateries. Also overpriced. There are a few brand new smaller properties accross from Sea World, both Marriotts. One is a Fairfield, the other I believe a Residence Inn. A new Fridays is within walking distance. These are located on International Dr and Cen Fl Pkwy. The bridge to the Beachline is 2 min away as well as the Convention Center. I will ask about a group rate.

The biggest requirement is shuttle svc to and from Islands of adventure as the premise is to not have to worry about parking 40+ cars and everybody can drink without fears of red and blue lights.

I like the idea of a hotel on I drive as its central to alot of shopping, entertainment, legs, sorry got pre occupied but you get the idea!!!

98$c300

Check the weekend before Roger.and start making a head count.so you know how many rooms more or less you need to book.from the looks of it we only staying two nites.if do the buddy system we can go two per room.to double beds.unless you guys don't wanna sleep in the same room.lol.

roger the dates you suggest i think are perfect

room rates should not exceed say 80 per night .. we should be able to garner at least 25 to drive up so to keep it conservative i would tell hotel people 25 to get rates


lets get this scheduled , if you guys schedule this immed it will light a fire under me to get headgasket swapped , drop cams in and full retune and i promise i will hand someone their _______ just joking
