i'm there----dude you should be there at 6am drinking----and since the stadium is kinda downtown the hotels are super duper expensive---you can pay 50 bucks extra to be 10 miles closer if you like 12/3/2001 6:07:58 PM |

Make your own reservations or find someone that has. I have reserved 2 rooms. When you call, tell them the group code and you will get the discount. 12/3/2001 7:14:33 PM |

My mom lives pretty close to Disney, so I'm familiar with the area of this hotel.
Its very close to the Disney parks, and within walking distance of a place called downtown disney, where theres alot of shops and restraunts and stuff. theres also a House of Blues and the Cirque De Sole (however you spell it), if you're into that. Right next to that is Pleasure Island, a big place full of clubs, bars, etc. there's buses and stuff that go to the parks if anyone wants to do that.
the stadium is a little farther away, but its easy to get to (a few miles down I-4, a few more down East-West Expressway, no big deal).
All in all, it seems like a good place to stay, and you guys should have fun. I jsut wish I could go 12/3/2001 7:46:59 PM |

I just read at http://www.fcsports.com that alcohol is illegal in public parking lots. What the hell? 12/4/2001 10:43:58 AM |
Jeffro All American 4150 Posts user info edit comment |
We're going down the 19th, so everyone show up so we can take over the hotel and have a hell of a party the night before! A shuttle would be a good idea, the city has one but it only picks people up from 22 miles away from the hotel. We could submit some requests to transportation companies http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/Florida/Cities/Orlando/Business_and_Shopping/Shopping_and_Services/Transportation/ and see what we get...Anyone know how much a charter bus or two down there might cost? I'm thinkin' party bus...

I went over to the Stroud Center to pay for my ticket in cash, and the guy told me it was $25. I told him I thought it was 20, but he said something about a processing fee. Just to give you a heads-up 12/4/2001 6:10:25 PM |

Hello all!!! Jim Nickles here, sales manager for the Ramada Plaza Hotel & Inn Gateway (the largest Ramada in the Southeast). Just wanted to thank you for the business and to clear up a few things that were posted regarding our property. There are still rooms available at our discount rate of $35 Inn (exterior corridor entry and our $59 high rise Plaza rooms. Ask for code GOTK when making your reservation. Prices for that time period are usually $79 Inn and $99 Plaza.
Unfortunately, we are NOT walking distance to Pleasure Island, although we are only one mile to Disney but on the Kissimmee side, not Lake Buena Vista. It only takes a few minutes to get there by car if you are interested in going. On the positive side, we do offer a FREE scheduled shuttle to the Disney parks, Universal Studios, and Sea World daily. We also have mini-refrigerators in all our rooms for all the "soda" i'm sure you will be drinking. P.S. also have happy hour in our lounge from 5-7 and 11 to close $1.75 drafts, well, and wine as well as karaoke Wed thru Sat.
If you Guys And Gals are interested in a shuttle from our property to the game, I can get a quote for you if we get enough people to use it, what do you think?
Last thing, double check that rate at the Days Inn Maingate, it may be a per person rate, the hotel would most likely loose $ at that rate. Our property is three diamond AAA rated compared to the Days Inns 2 diamond rating. Our property will give you the biggest bang for your buck.
Feel free to e-mail me direct at jim.nickles@crestlinehotels.com with your questions/suggestions.
Thanks again, and in regard to the game, let me quote maverick in saying "damn, i'm f--king there!"

Jack,
Good advertising Bud!! Covering your bases, i like that. About the Days Inn rate, I just called and it is true. Get two double beds and free service to the attractions. Some special on travelzoo.com. You are closer however 12/7/2001 12:40:27 PM |

You asked for it, you got it (if you want it) Ok, as of 11:00 a.m. on Dec 10, you guys have booked 54 rooms with 144 fans for the Bowl. I got a price from mears transportation for a full size bus, with bathroom, for nine hours which holds 47 people for $693 ($15.00 each person). A $250 deposit is required if you plan to drink on the bus. I will reserve 2 for now just in case but I need someone up there to be my contact person to give me a head count if this is something you want to do. Give me (Jim) a call at 1-800-327-9170 ext. 662.
Also, the Ramada will be overing a 3 hours open bar (beer and well) for $20 a head from 6-9 p.m. on December 19. 12/10/2001 1:31:53 PM |
