Response has been incredible! In less than 24 hours the room block is at 185% of capacity. The hotel will continue to take reservations until there is no availability left and then we will look at overflow properties outside of the Swan and Dolphin complex.
Currently there is availability at the Dolphin for every night except Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th. HOWEVER, there is plenty of space still available at the Swan for all nights. The Swan hotel is about 100 yards from the Dolphin and they share the same swimming pool complex. So, if the reservationist needs to put you in the Swan, don't worry, they are right next to each other and it will only take about 2 minutes longer to walk to the convention center.
Make your reservations today through the link at BotCon.com.
Merry Christmas!

Which reminds me that we need to be pro-active about this year's annual Seibertron.com party at BotCon since we know the dates and location now.
Cool, I am up for all of that.

WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO
FINALLY....After being a big transfan since its inception back in 84
I'm finally going to BOTCON
Disney World is less then 2 hours away from me and my best freind works at the Magic Kingdom told me that Disney was talking about this last week but I didn't belive him
I wonder if this is happening around the same time as Star Wars Weekends that takes place at the Hollywood Studios (formally known as the MGM Studios
Being near Epcot is cool because the Japanese Pavillion there sells Japanese Transformers too
Downtown Disney itself might boom from Once Upon a toy or as its known on the boards as the Hasbro Store will get collectibles

Awesome! I was scared for a min, I am going on a cruise late june, wasn't sure of dates at first. I bet I was the 1st person in history to not want to go on a cruise. Just found, I leave out of jacksonville on the 26th. Which means, I was all ready scheduled to be only about an hour away anyways at the same time. Guess that means I get to go for the first two days. Awesome!

LoL Already wrote it on my calendar!.. Let the saving of the fundage begin!!! Not sure If i'm going to stay at the hotel though..I have a ton of close friends within a hour of disney so it seems kind of a waste of money that could go towards some tasty show exclusives, not to mention extra luggage to bring the loot back home
I mean who is really going to sleep for those 3 days anyways

No promises.

Bah. Pretty much decided we're not going. We have another vacation planned and it's only a month away from Botcon, so that's an epic amount of money to spend all at once. Too bad. Makes a sweet backup plan if that trip doesn't happen though.

It is a good thing that I have a vehicle because all the bars in the hotel close at 11:00pm except for the Japanese restaurant which closes at 12 and the dress is business casual. There is no place to walk to, food or otherwise. I am definately bringing my own food and drink - read that as water. I am not a drinker as such but that is where my friends hang out. I am up for taking a crew to the beach or something a few days before the con or going to a dinner theater, pm me if you want to be a part of that.

you what have a chance to be or at least visit BotCon are happiest people among Transfans for me, I have a pity coz I'm from middle Europe and travelling to the America is more than impossible for me... perhaps next year when I will work here... waaw I'm really jealous on these happy people...
