In with the whole Hayley Family(7 total)

I plan to be there with my son. Does anyone know of a hotel nearby? Walking distance to the venue we be great, but I don't want to pay a lot of money just to be within walking distance.

Where are the games being played? We used to spend a lot of time in Orlando.

But LOTS of hotels that will provide a free shuttle!

[XUBT]

Flying in from Chicago on Wednesday afternoon, can't freaking wait!

Ah, well...a Holiday Inn Express, Hilton Garden Inn, or Hyatt Place would be great. It's in Kissimee and I am sure there are plenty of hotels, but I don't want to be 20 miles away...

The Disney complex is great, but I don't think there's a hotel you can walk from, at least back in my day there. That's actually pretty surprising, so maybe that's changed? That's a huge draw for all kinds of tournaments. The Buc's used to have training camp there too. Sweet facility for multiple sports.

[GoMuskies]

The Braves do Spring Training there.

The Braves do Spring Training there.

And it's beautiful! Better than a real Braves game in a sketchy area. The stadium they play in now is still great, but it's in the wrong place. The new one is less than 3 miles from our house. Mixed emotions on that.

[XUBob]

I will be there with Frambo and his son Ryan.

[XU-PA]

My lovely wife and I will be there for all 3. I'll be the idiot with the flag!

[Milhouse]

I'll be there with the wife and my parents/brother.

Never been to a OOC tournament very excited. Also pretty pumped for disney!

[basket]

The Rosmarin's will be down!

[pimpinthebox]

I'm in. Heading down tomorrow with the family. Look forward to seeing Xavier Nation represent - and of course, seeing some victories.

[XUfosheezy]

I'll be there, can't miss the Muskies 25 minutes from my house! Regarding hotels, all of the Disney hotels offer free shuttle service to Wide Word of Sports (where the game is being played). You might be able to still snag a good deal at any of the Disney All Star resorts, which would also offer you free shuttle service to multiple watering holes around Disney property (i.e., Disney's Boardwalk and Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney). There are also lots of hotels nearby, but off Disney property. Looking forward to it folks!

[mid major]

I'll be there next to the guy who was next to the guy with the mask.

[ForTUitous]

Interested to know if anyone else is doing the Anthony Travel package?

[XU-PA]

For those of us staying in Orlando, anyone meeting up for Thanksgiving festivities? Sports bar, dinner buffet???

[GoMuskies]

Looks pretty empty.

[XU-PA]

Looks pretty empty.
Actually not a bad crowd, probably near half capacity. XU blue waaaay outnumbers the red from bama

[principal]

If anyone has an extra ticket for today or Friday, please message me. I bought two tix for my son and I and at the last minute my wife was unable to watch my daughter so I need another ticket. We found an extra for the first session today but I hate to drop $125 for the remaining sessions if it can be avoided. I really only need today and Friday as we might not be able to attend Sunday

Thanks,

Principal

Yeah, the crowd isn't bad. I'm in the very last row with my two kids, just to the right of the X section (behind the Witchita fans). Come say hi if you are here.

Lots of Wichita and Xavier fans in the building. Even if they were good, I doubt you'd see many Alabama and USC fans since they're getting ready for their football rivalry games this weekend.
