xFOCUS has negotiated a special rate with Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort of only $129/night which includes, at no extra charge: round trip transportation for you, your family and all of your luggage to and from the Orlando Airport (if you are flying in) and free parking (if you are driving in), plus unlimited local calls, use of the resort’s fitness center and free scheduled transportation to the various Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks and the Downtown Disney® Area. The hotel is also allowing up to quad occupancy for this same rate of $129/night. This can save significant money for families or friends rooming together. Call 407-939-1020 to make your reservations. Make sure to tell the reservation agent that you are attending “The Focus Conference”. Additionally, tell them you would like your room to be as close as possible to the conference center. You can also have this rate for the 3 nights preceeding and following the conference. This is a wonderful hotel at an excellent price and Focus has negotiated the above extras at no extra charge to our attendees, so bring your friends or family. Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is a 1,921 room resort arranged around a 15-acre lake offering guest rooms arranged in three distinctly themed villages: The Ranchos, Cabanas and Casitas. Guest rooms are comparable in each of the three areas with irons, ironing boards, ceiling fans and wall safes as standard features. As was done last year, Focus will maintain a roommate bulletin board here. Visit this site to see a list of people looking to share a room and save money.

Traveling by Air

The Orlando International Airport has 12 airlines serving 86 markets and sees 404 daily airport arrivals and departures. In the past, numerous airlines offered group discounts for people traveling to conferences by air. In the last year, however, most have stopped offering group discounts. Of the few remaining airlines that still offer discounts, Focus has found that the discounts are miniscule at best and that attendees almost always obtain less expensive rates simply by shopping around and by reserving early. We provide below, a list of airlines that fly into Orlando. The ones printed in red are offering a discount to Focus attendees. To obtain the best rates shop around and most importantly, reserve your tickets early.
