[nabs-l] A Few Convention Questions

For those of you guys going to Orlando, you should check out the Arabian
Knights dinner show.  I don't know if it's as good or better than Medieval
Times, but I was personally a huge fan.

Subject: [nabs-l] A Few Convention Questions

Hi All!

I have a couple of questions about national convention this summer in
Orlando.

I was originally planning to room with a friend and her mother, and
was only going to stay from July 2 to the 9th.

However, after speaking with a few people from my state, it seems like
a lot of people are either meeting up with family either after or
before convention or just staying with friends and such for an extra
vacation after convention.

I would kind of like to stay a few extra days to go to Disney and
such. Are most of you just staying the week of convention or are you
staying extra?

If I don't end up finding a group or my family members who live in
Florida to stay with, is there enough to do at the various parks that
I could enjoy them by myself?

If I am planning to stay extra, do I need to reserve and make my plans
ASAP? I know rooms for the convention week are going very fast and
have to be reserved ASAP but if I want to try to plan to stay extra
what is my time frame? Is it the same as convention week?

I know my friend and her mother are not staying extra so I assume I'd
have to reserve my own room if I want to stay extra.

I hope it's okay that I ask these questions;like I said I was going to
just stay the week but it seems a lot of other people are staying
extra and I don't have any urgent reason I would have to be back for
so thought I'd get a feel for my options and see what others on this
list are planning to do.

I've never been to Disney, or Orlando for that matter so want to try
to enjoy it if I can and I know that I will be too busy during
convention week to do anything else besides just convention things.

Thanks,
Kerri
