Feedback on the CSR Salsa Championship

[Disneydaddycanada]

I posted this on the wrong thread and thought I would add it here. I think i would get more feedback here.


I just read about the Salsa Championship beening held at Coranado Spring Dec 12th-Dec16th.

Any feedback as to how busy the hotel is going to be would be very helpful. We arrive on Dec 12th and I am a little concerned with this event. I was planning to fax a request to the hotel a week before our arrival to request a specific room. I don't know if that is going to help if the hotel is packed. I am assuming the people would arrive a day or 2 before so we would get the leftovers.

I wish I would have known this before....

So I just saw that the Salsa championships would be going on during 12/12-12/16 at CSR. I'll be arriving there 12/15 and am wondering how it will impact my stay. I've never heard of these championships before, and don't know what to expect.

I also have the same question....any help please!! I'll be there Dec. 12-18 and now I'm a little worried...

The impact with any convention is usually limited to check-in, in and around the main building or the Pepper Market. Being a Salsa competition, I don't think they have tradition breaks during the day like a business convention would for lunch and dinner. The competitions are probably continually going on in the convention facilities. It also does not look like a huge competition with lots of guests. What I've observed from any convention is that the buses and pools are less crowded and the Pepper Market can get crowded at lunch and dinner. If we choose to eat at the PM, we would do it earlier for lunch and/or dinner than traditional times to avoid crowds.

I think I read this was going to be televised on ESPN too. Might be fun to watch if you get a chance. Tickets are available.

Link to the salsa championship website. Looks like a big dance contest.
