Same - I bought a 3-day badge before I was accepted as a pro, and now I want to make sure that the pro badges become available before I refund it...sigh!

You can make a reservation at some hotels such as the Hyatt now but at a non-WonderCon rate.

Would prefer to stay at Hilton or Marriott, but just reserved the Travelodge thru Hotels.com.
At $79 per night, I didn't want to miss this deal. Plus, it's taking waaay too long for WonderCon to post Hotels at their convention rate.
It wasn't clear, but I think parking is FREE at Travelodge! If that's the case, I won't need to take the bus to Anaheim- cause I won't be victim to outrageous parking costs!
I just hope it's a decent hotel. I'm tempted to drive up there one weekend to check it out- just to make sure its acceptable. Have any of you stayed at the Travelodge?
I feel good about this decision. And I can cancel w/out charges as late as 3/30/17.
When WonderCon finally does release their convention rates, I can compare and, if necessary, cancel my Travelodge reservation in favor of a better option.

Uuugghh... Not happy with the TripAdvisor reviews. :(
I'm definitely going to stay alert for convention rates on the WonderCon site. But dang! This price is so nice.

On the way home from Universal Studios and just stopped to check the Travelodge hotel I reserved for WonderCon.
Glad to report the hotel seems more than acceptable for a two nite stay.
It's nothing special, but honestly, we won't be spending much awake time in the room, anyway.
It's also only .3 miles from the convention center.
With the proximity and the price, I'm pretty sure we're gonna keep the room.
Feeling a lot better about this resevation!
SCORE!!!

Glad you were able to check it out, SwagCollector! I agree that a firsthand view is always best. And it sounds like you're happy with what you booked, so it all worked out! :D

Ack! I still need to go ahead and request the days off from work (though I'm not sure how much longer I'll be staying with this firm), but I'm a bit afraid to because I've been out from December 7-at least Feb. 11 due to severe health issues.

I'll need to grab the request form and maybe fax it over after the newest confirmations that I should be out @.@

So, the WonderCon Hotel rates have finally been posted...
The least-expensive option is double the cost of the room I've reserved at the Travelodge.
...And the desired option (Anaheim Hilton), is TRIPLE what I currently have reserved.
When selecting a WonderCon hotel stay, my main concerns are: safety, cleanliness, proximity to convention center, and a comfortable bed.
I think I'm gonna be ok with the Travelodge...

Wow! These prices seem way more than last year  :(
