The Wyndham-Orlando Resort International Drive

We’re thrilled to be spending our 2023 Coastal Magic at the gorgeous Wyndham-Orlando Resort International Drive. Our room block for registered attendees will be available until January 31st. You will receive a dedicated link when you complete your registration. If you’ll be staying on site with us, please reserve your room by this date to guarantee our discount. After this date, rooms will still be available, but we cannot guarantee a discount. (Rooms are very reasonable, though, even without our discount. 🙂 )

Hurricanes Ian and Nicole postponed our return to Daytona and The Plaza Resort & Spa. Unfortunately, they’ll be closed for a year to repair/remodel after the storms. We’re looking forward to all they”ll have to offer for our 2024 event!

If shopping/dining/people watching is your thing. (approx 15 minutes away)

Walt Disney World – Home of the giant mouse and all his friends. One of the most famous theme parks in the world, and a magical place (yes, even for grownups!) to spend the day. For those who prefer retail over roller coasters, Disney Springs is a fun ways to experience some of the shopping/dining/people watching here, without park admission. (approx 20 minutes away)

Medieval Times – Kissimmee – Queen of the Royal Court invites you to travel through the mists of time to a festive celebration where you’ll be in awe of gallant knights and majestic horses.

Kennedy Space Center – Centerpiece of Florida’s “Space Coast”, this complex houses an interactive history of space exploration and multiple opportunities for hands-on learning.
