will handle all hotel reservations and cancellations until Monday,
February 17, 2003, 3:00PM PDT. You will make your hotel request on the
registration form.
We cannot guarantee room
availability after Monday, January 30, 2003, but will continue to book
accommodations at the Grand Californian Hotel as long as we have rooms remaining
in our room block. Based on availability, accommodations booked after January
30, 2003 may be subject to a higher room rate than the $169.00 per night (plus
tax and resort fees) for the room block.
If you are canceling less than 72 hours before the event start, we suggest you
contact the hotel directly to cancel, then notify us at

The room rate is available for up to 3 days before or 3 days after the event – you may
come early or stay late.
How much
fun will my family have if they attend?
One of the reasons why we
chose the Disneyland Resort during a potential vacation week was to make
this event family friendly. While you're working with the heavy hitters
in architecture on Thursday and Friday, your family can enjoy Downtown
Disney, Disney's California Adventure Theme Park and the Disneyland
Theme Park all within 500 yards of the hotel. Discounted theme park
tickets are available for purchase (information can be found below and
on the Registration page).
How can I bring my
family and stay longer than the event is scheduled?
Simply book your hotel stay and enjoy the
discounted price up to three days earlier or later than the event is
scheduled. Select the number and size of beds you'll require. Up to 4
people can stay in the room. If you require additional rooms, our
registration staff can assist. Make a note in the "Personal
Considerations" box at the bottom of the Registration Page if you
require additional sleeping rooms. Please note that rates and
availability cannot be guaranteed by Microsoft after January 30, 2003.
How do I get to the hotel?
You are responsible for
your transportation to/from the airport to the Disney Grand Californian Hotel.
Please consult your confirmation letter for additional details. Driving
directions from Los Angeles International Airport or Orange County
Airport to
Disney's Grand
