Florida Freepers, I have Freep mailed each person individually who has told me they would be reserving a room at the fabulous Gaylord Palms Resort for the Southeast Regional Free Republic Convention being held on April 25, 2009 with instructions on how to call in your reservations. If you are intending to stay overnight at the resort and haven’t received a mail from me, please let me know immediately and I will get instructions to you.

As a reminder, this is the venue where our Regional Convention will be held:

The room rate for our Conventioneers is $99/night (this rate includes the resort fee), plus 14% tax for single or double occupancy. There will be an additional $12/day, plus tax, self parking fee or $20/day, plus tax, valet parking fee. The hotel accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Check-in is at 3pm and check-out is at 11am. The Gaylord Palms is a smoke-free hotel, so all guest rooms are non-smoking. Before you have a panic attack, I will be scheduling in breaks during the day so whoever needs to can get their nicotine, snack, exercise fix without missing any of the fun.

Here is a link to a map to help you get to the Gaylord Palms. Click on the blue locator balloon to input your starting address and get driving directions. If you have a GPS, the address is: 6000 W. Osceola Parkway Kissimmee, FL 34746 407-586-0000

If there’s any information that you need that isn’t above or in the mail I sent you (if you’re staying overnight) let me know!

I also should mention that the hotel is extending that rate to us for the 3 days prior to and 3 days after the Convention.

Reservations must be made by April 17! If you didn’t get a Freep mail from me and want to make reservations let me know immediately.

Hi, everybody. Hoo-Yah, I just made my reservation for the Orlando Convention on April 25. I phoned 1-407-586-0000. A very nice reservationist-ette took my information and I'm all good to go.

I reserved for Friday, the 24th and for Saturday, the 25. This hotel is so intriguing, so enticing that I want to be there two days.

The gal I spoke to, Julie, told me the place is fabulous and the rooms are great. The rooms have hair dryers, a safe, a mini fridge, a coffee maker and a lap top computer you can use....and it's free.

She told me the five restaurants range from gourmet to moderate in price/casual in dress. Hamburgers, wings, all the sides, etc. can be enjoyed al fresco on tables near the pool. A wonderful buffet is somewhere.....I'll find it and check it out because I'm arriving a day early to scope everything including the visual wonders we're going to enjoy.

The reservation-making process went as smooth as chocolate cream pie. Our group room rate is as right as President Reagan.

Freepers, for a couple years you've been wanting a meeting or a convention. You've moaned, whined, complained and begged on the state forum. Now it's in the works. Who knows when there'll be another. Don't miss out on this gathering of truly conservative eagles to get to know and to interact with.

Meet the witty, talented, brainy and good lookin' freepers whose posts you've enjoyed forever.

Pick up your phone right now, dial 1-407-586-000 for this fabulous freep. Tell her you're with the Free Republic convention.

You'll be SO happy you called, I guaran-damm-tee ya.

See ya in Orlandy, Mandy! We'll greet you in the lobby, Bobby! Please make that phone call now!

Please call the hotel directly. First read posts # 28 & 42. Please post here after you register so we can keep our totals up to date. This is for us knowing how big a meeting room we need, etc. The hotel needs this information.
