I don't like the wait time.  Some of us won't hear anything until the 15th... nearly 3 weeks after the sale. That's going to be agony.

In the past 3 hotel lotteries I've received my number 1 choice, always putting Thursday as arrival date.  This year I'm considering Wednesday as the arrival date.  Does anyone know if arrival/departure dates have affected chances of getting a room in the past?  I noticed Thursday thru Sunday are bolded on the sample form but wednesday is not.

And even the lucky first-batch people still have to wait 120 hours instead of 48 like last year. :(

Probably bolded because those are the actual days of the convention. Preview Night isn't always officially considered.

Pendry is blocked on their website for the Comic Con days so I wonder that means?

We always put Wednesday as our arrival day and someone in our group has gotten our #1 choice every year. We also get two rooms.
Do these tacos taste funny to you?

I mean, it'll suck to wait...But having a date to know by is way better than "at some random time in the future we may send out wait list stuff or a sorry note."

I'm just happy they have clear dates for when things are happening regarding reservations going out. Even if the wait is a bit longer. This will probably keep the fiasco of late night and many days later reservations coming through that cause panic every year.

I find this point interesting:
Forms will be processed based on the time at which a user was granted access to the form - NOT the time at which the form was submitted.

Fortune favors the first, as is always the case for anything SDCC related.

Did anybody else notice that the Hotel info on the CCI website specifically says that "On April 21, 2017, an email will be sent from Comic-Con International to 2017 badge holders"?  I personally do not have a badge yet but I still got the email (I'm a trade pro so still waiting on our registration to open).  Did anyone else who is not a badge holder get the email?  Or are they actually trying to limit the sale to badge holders (and apparently professionals waiting for their badges)?

Same here. Trade Pro but still got the email. Weird wording.

I was about to post that. So that means none without a badge can get one?
