2012 Southern Region Events

2012 Southern Region Meeting

The 2012 Southern Region Meeting, by popular demand, will be held once again at the Disney properties. However, this time it will be at their five-star Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa from April 30 - May 2, 2012 (NOTE: New dates!)

To reserve your hotel rooms, see below:

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
4401 Floridian Way
Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32930
Reservations:  (407) 824-1383
NACD Rate: $199/night + tax
Please reference NACD when making your reservations. You can also reserve discounted theme park tickets!

Hotel Discount Reservation Deadline: April 7, 2012

For more information about the resort and to purchase theme park tickets, please click here.  To receive park tickets at the group discount, they must be purchased prior to April 29.

Our room rate is available 3 days prior and 3 days post April 30-May 2 based on availability, so feel free to come early or stay late to take advantage of the fantastic rate at the Grand Floridian! Since springtime is always a busy time for Disney, please book your rooms as EARLY as possible to avoid higher rates and no room availability. Also, if your plans change and need to cancel your room, please notify NACD before canceling your room as we can always keep that room for someone else to use if we run into a sold out situation again. Thanks for your cooperation on this.

NOTE:  Be wary of travel agency scams. If anyone claiming to be associated with a travel agency and/or “convention housing” contacts you with an offer for booking a hotel room, do NOT provide them with your contact or payment information. This is a scam. NACD does not contract with such firms. Hotel reservations can only be made directly through the hotel.
