I was able to confirm most of your numbers at
www.swandolphinmeetings.com and
www.disneymeetings.com. By the way, the Boardwalk Resort also has 20K sq ft for meetings.
There was a disconnect on the Y&BC info though. The website says they have 73K sq ft of space, not 273 sq ft as you state.
And in Spring 2005, CSR will be adding an 86K sq ft exhibit hall.
Holy cow on that 329K sq ft at S/D!
Are they comparing apples to apples? For example, the CR 90K is exhibit/lobby/registration space (as far as I can tell). Is the S/D counting every last available molecule to boost their total? I mean, basically the S/D has more convention space than all the Disney hotels combined the way the numbers are presented by the websites. The numbers are just so out of whack. Maybe it's just focus of purpose?
I don't know why I even bothered looking into this. I have no vested interest, have never attended a convention at WDW and, quite frankly, don't really care who has the most convention space. Besides the fact that it's a bit off topic. I guess I was just curious to confirm/deny what I was told at the Contemporary. Guess I was being sold. Official Disney properties don't even come close to the S/D convention facilities.
