We’re pleased to partner with the Ramada Orlando Celebration Resort & Convention Center for the 2009 convention.

The Ramada Orlando Celebration Resort and Convention Center offers newly renovated rooms all with either a patio or balcony surrounded by 77 tropical acres with 4 pools. The hotel has many on-site resort amenities, close approximation to Walt Disney World® Resorts and the other Orlando/Kissimmee theme parks.

They offer all the services and amenities you’d expect from a world-class resort hotel and convention center such as:

60,000 Sq. Ft. of Meeting Space,High-Speed Internet Access, 2 Restaurants, Lounge, Gaming/Activity Center, Complimentary Scheduled Shuttle to Disney, Business Center, All Rooms w/Balcony or Patio, Adjoining Rooms Available, Air Conditioned, 4 Pools, 3 Lighted Tennis Courts, Fitness Center, Gift Shops, 24 Hour Resort Security

There have been some updates in the booking process for our convention hotel. Please read carefully, and see how these new developments effect you.

Up until today, the convention rate for the Hurricane Who Convention was $89 a night plus taxes and fees. The recent economic situation had caused Ramada to release room rates at the hotel much cheaper than the Convention Rate. Both Hurricane Who and the Convention Services Team at the Ramada Orlando Celebration have been working diligently for months towards a resolution to this dilemma.

Today the following agreement was reached. Effective this week the Convention Rate for the Hurricane Who Convention will go from $89 a night plus taxes and fees to $69 a night plus tax. The new Convention Rate of $69 will include the $10 a night Resort Fee, something that was not included with the $89 Rate. The $69 Room Rate will be available through the website of the Ramada Orlando Celebration, with the Group/Discount Code “HurricaneWho”.

If you had already booked a room under the Convention Block at the $89 rate, your reservation will be modified to reflect the $69 Rate. Please allow a few days for this change to be processed before you call to confirm.

If you have booked at the Ramada Orlando Celebration for the Convention Weekend under one of the other, cheaper rates available (AAA, Florida Resident, AARP, etc), your reservations will be counted towards the Room Block for the convention. Please make sure that you advise the Front Desk upon Check-In that you are with the Hurricane Who group. The Convention Staff will also have a log to help make sure your rooms are properly accounted for.

As of this moment, the evening of September 30th, 2009, there are still rooms available at Ramada.com for the Convention Dates at the rate of $55 a night plus taxes and fees. We dont know how long these rates will be there still, so if you need to book one do it as soon as possible.

ALL Convention Attendees should request to be in the ‘Jasmine’ section of the hotel. It is the closest to the Convention Center, along with being the host section to the ‘Fury from the Deep End Pool Party’.

If you have any questions about these new booking procedures, please contact any of the Hurricane Who Staff.
