Lotusphere Anyone?

[MJL]

Anyone going to Lotusphere convention at Disney in late Jan 2004? If so, what are you planning to do about accomodations? Apparently, you can book discount rooms, but it really doesnt seem to be much of a discount

Ugh...Conventioners. They take over the parks!!!

first of all welcome to wdwmagic. Please disregard crazy girl.

Conventions bring a lot of money to Walt Disney World. So I am very thankful. You will have to go through Lotusphere group contact to book those reservations.

Uh, forgive my ignorance but what is Lotusphere?

Lotusphere is a 4-day computer software convention that takes place at the Swan/Dolphin and Y&B Club. It is the most fun convention in existence for me because its in Disney.

Rates for acommodations:
Not including tax
ASSports - 70
POR Riverside/Carib. Beach - $120
Y&B club - $220
Swan/Dolphin - $240

These dont seem like bargains at all, especially if some kind of discount codes come out during Jan.

289 is the rack rate on the Yacht. So but not much of a savings.

Enough people use that program to have a convention?

Sorry couldn't help.:veryconfu

You would be surprised, they pull around 15,000 attendees. Lotus domino/Notes is very popular and superior to its Microsoft counterpart, does anyone here care? lol

Just to keep on topic, I booked POR riverside while there, first time there , counting the days
