Reservation Information
You MUST complete both hotel forms and send ONE set to the HOTEL along with your DEPOSIT and a copy of your TAX EXEMPT CERTIFICATE. PLEASE send a DUPLICATE set with your conference registration packet. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE HOTEL since no reservations will be taken over the phone.
The hotel makes every effort to facilitate check in. Therefore, each school must follow the following procedure in order to avoid any problems:
-
1. Hotel reservation must be made before March 16, 2025. You may book your reservation online here. You may also call the hotel directly at 407-396-1400 to book their reservations. Use group code, 041625FLO when making the reservations. The resort and tax fees will be adjusted upon check-in.
-
2. Send the hotel reservation form, rooming list, tax exempt certificate and deposit to the hotel. Once the hotel receives the forms and deposit, they will immediately send you a confirmation notice for each room. If you do not receive a confirmation notice within a reasonable time, contact hotel reservations.
-
3. Send a copy of all hotel forms with your conference registration packet. Both the hotel and the conference must have an emergency phone number for each student participating in the conference. Please make a copy of your rooming list and bring it to the conference. If there are any room changes, you must notify us upon arrival. If the change requires more or fewer rooms than initially requested, the hotel must be notified of these changes in writing. You may FAX this information to the hotel. Please remember that unless you notify them of changes you may be charged for the rooms, even if you do not use them.
Payments
The hotel will not accept personal checks for rooms, so please be sure you pay with a school check, credit card, or cash. Tax on the room is waived only if a copy of the school tax-exempt certificate is provided (see your school bookkeeper for it). The Resort Tariff of 7.5% is NOT tax-exempt, but IS INCLUDED in the price of $129.00 per night.
