No, I saw a tweet from the Unofficial Blog, but no email, might be looking for a room mate with these prices, but I did book the Hilton.

The rooms are going somewhat fast and only the Hilton (which I wanted) was gone when I last checked, which has been booked since November when I called last month. (Staying there for D23 though!) So for WonderCon, staying at the Sheraton nearby. Been there before and it's enough. Could have done the Marriott but got a better room deal at the other hotel. Btw, not a fan what was offered this year; and likewise for the rates. Seen better and only two that I liked were offered. Glad I didn't wait. Any who, all set here.

While keeping an eye out for the Hilton, while it is not with WonderCon, the rates, you could get on the waitlist by calling the hotel, if you have not already. That said, the hotel wouldn't update you until 3 weeks before the con so there's that little problem.

the hilton isn't sold out for all nights it's just sold out for check in on thursday. check in friday- monday is available for 2 doubles.
yeah the marriott is the pricy hotel -   we ended up moving from the thursday at the marriott to the clariton  for half the cost.

thx for the suggestion to call the hotel for the wait list.  I just got off the phone with onpeak & they're trying for us.... i'm ok with how it is- it's not too far to wheel the luggage ;)

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

Yes, the Marriott was $50 less two years ago when Wondercon was last in Anaheim.  Even though the Marriott isn't the Wondercon main hotel, Thursday has already been sold out.

In light of the recent hotel reservations announcement, is anyone interested in room sharing at WonderCon 2017?

I can create one for WonderCon 2017 if it helps anyone out.  Please let me know and tag me in this thread.  ^__^d

Forum Housekeeping:
I also closed old WonderCon 2016 threads to prepare for more 2017 threads (and make room for them too).

[member=317]Zero[/member], could you start a room sharing thread. I'm interested in looking for a room mate. Thanks.

Does anyone know what time Wondercon opens on Friday?
Or at least what time the past couple of years they opened.
Thanks
