OFFICIAL CONVENTION HOTEL
All convention programming will be held at the official convention hotel:
Disneyland Hotel
1150 West Magic Way
Anaheim, CA 92802
Reservations should be made directly with the Disneyland Hotel via online or by calling their reservation department at (714) 520-5005. Their reservation department will be happy to answer questions concerning your stay at the hotel, make sure to mention you’re coming in for AMSA’s Annual Convention.
AMSA’s special rate for the Disneyland Hotel is $172 (plus tax*) per room, per night. There is a $5 charge (plus tax) mandatory resort fee per night per guest room, which includes (subject to change) self-parking for two vehicles, local phone calls, guest room wireless internet, fitness center access and weekday newspaper. This is a flat rate for single, double, triple or quad occupancy. Always mention you are a participant of AMSA’s Annual Convention to obtain negotiated rates.
*Tax percentage is currently 15% and subject to change without notice.
Although most rooms at the Disneyland Hotel will accommodate four people, AMSA advises you to confirm this number at the time you make your reservation. To ensure that all four roommates will be able to check in upon arrival, you should provide all four names at the time of your reservation. Roll-away beds are not available for standard rooms due to fire marshall regulations. Each roommate is responsible for his/her own charges. Be sure to negotiate in advance with the other occupants to record telephone calls, etc.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All reservations must be made by February 8, 2010, to obtain the convention room rate. Even though AMSA has reserved a large block of rooms, it’s best to make your reservation as soon as possible. Once this block is sold out, rooms may sell for a higher rate regardless if it’s prior to February 8. All reservations made after February 8 will be subject to a higher rate on a first-come, first-serve basis while rooms are available. When making room reservations, you will be required to provide a credit card number and a first night’s room deposit. If you need to cancel a room reservation, make sure you do so 72-hours prior to the day of your arrival or you will be charged for the room.
Check-in time is 3:00 pm, and check-out time is 11:00 am. The hotel does offer a baggage storage area on a complimentary basis for early and late departures.
The Disneyland Hotel and the AMSA National Office are unable to match you with roommates. It is your responsibility to work through your chapter/regional director to identify people to share a room. You can also take advantage of AMSA’s online housing directory. Post your request for a roommate or let others know you have space available in your room.
