Going to Orlando, but no Disney :(

The company I work for is doing 2 conferences for all our field and store managers in Oct and Nov. The Oct one is in Orlando, but sadly I don't think I will be able to fit even a little Disney in. I haven't received the schedule yet so I am hoping that maybe one of the nights I can figure out a way to at least get to DTD. I just can't imagine going to Orlando and not getting a Disney fix. We are staying at one of the Universal resorts and at the very least I will get to go to CityWalk.

The other conference I get to go to Vegas and we are staying at the Venetian, so at least most stuff will be right there and I will get to do some touristy stuff.

There's lots of good places to eat at Citywalk. Hopefully, you'll have a little time for fun too.

Can't you ask if they will let you go the day before you are due? Maybe if you offer to pay for the additional night at a hotel you can do it and squeeze in some quality time with The Mouse? Of course, don't tell them it's for your Disney fix. Instead you might suggest that if you go in the night before there is no way you could end up missing the meeting due to all the flight delays you keep hearing about from all the tropical storms making their way near Florida

I was thinking about asking. I haven't had to travel for work before so I am not sure how we go about booking everything, especially for a big conference like this. I did see that there is MNSSHP on the arrival day, so I am hoping I might be able to do that. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Which of the resorts are you staying in? I've been to all three and they're AWESOME!

I've gone to Orlando about 30 times in the past 10 years and only been to Disney 8 times. I've always had a GREAT time, I love the city.

The conference is at Lowes Royal Pacific, I assume that is where we are staying.

Talk to someone about that. My husband has often extended his stay in a city after being there for business. Do it quickly before they make flight arrangements for you.

The Royal pacific is an amazing hotel. I've stayed there 3 times and it's my favorite of the 3. Enjoy, this is a good thing!
