Author Topic: 2006 Showeast who's going? Bob Cunningham Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Wildwood, Florida Registered: Mar 2001 posted 10-11-2006 08:33 PM                        Any good Hotels in the area under $100?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-11-2006 09:26 PM                        You can stay at the Disney Value Resorts for around $80. (Pop Century or All Star.) But the rooms are small. Off Disney property, there are actually thousands of below-$100 rooms in that area. We ALMOST went, but a family medical thing has sidelined us. Next year for sure.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 10-12-2006 09:51 AM                        Going with wife. Always stay at the "Holiday Inn Sunspree" Cheap, but kiddie oriented. Located less than 1 mile from the show. Did I mention cheap?

I hope I can go. But between my 2 jobs, I don't think I'll be able to.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-12-2006 12:38 PM                     I will be there in booths 614 and 616 like usuall.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-12-2006 06:15 PM                     I will be there this year, as it turns out...I didn't think I was going but I have some appointements to attend to. Anyway on the hotels...Disney is not as cheap this year as in the past...even the Value resorts are topping $100/day (I think closer to $110). My traditional ShowEast resort is the Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista on Palm Parkway...it used to be about $39/night. However its price can change daily depending on how full it is and the time of year. This close to booking time it is probably up around $60-$80/night...notably cheaper than Disney or the Marriot World Center. A nice thing about staying in one of the surrounding hotels like the Comfort Inn is that there are many choices of where to eat too. They are close enough to the amusement parks if you must go and they are very close to the Show.

Don't know who's going to take care of Mike Blaksley if he goes down.... guess it'll have to wait. I hope who ever is sick at your place gets better soon Mike... quote: Louis Bornwasser Cheap, but kiddie oriented. Louis... you can put a quarter in the kiddie plane at that place and still go flying... much cheaper and can be just as much fun after a beer or two.

Nobody's really sick here, my mom is going in for a hernia operation late next week and I'll have to stick around closer to their house to help out as needed. Theatre should be unaffected...the automation will keep screwing up as per normal.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-25-2006 07:39 PM                     I am still here at Showeast. I am pretty determined to never waste tome going to Showest again. I was able to get so much more accompished at Showeast than in three years of continous Showests. Now I just need to conivince my customers to come here instead of Vegas. It is so much more relaxed than the Vegas show is... Not all manufacturers may have a booth but just about all manufacturers personel are here! They are also building a new convention hall next to the Marriott and I was told that Showeast will more than likely be in the new addition next year with even better facilities to use. Showest has so outgrown Bally's that even going to it is beginning to be just nonsense. Mark  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Both Dolby and DTS had really nice food spreads. Dolby's was actually located on the trade show floor for all attending the show to enjoy while the party DTS threw was also very nice and went on for quite some time. Well, I am back on my Shreaded Wheat diet now.... The food at KSC sucks big time! Go see the shuttle, just don't eat the food. If this is what the Astronauts have to eat they probably suffer major indigestion and diahreea while in orbit and can't wait to get back to Immodium and Betty Crocker. Its obvious that I'm still running on eastern time too or I'd still be asleep..... .

Forget the Cubbies and just enjoy the crown, ballpark and the Eisenmann Hot Dogs that they have been serving there for almost 75 years! The factory is just a couple of blocks from the ballpark... how convenient for a major dog maker. Mark  |  IP: Logged
