Thanks to Red for this tip: You can get to the hotel from the Airport by Shuttle Buss and Taxi, but if you have the time and are looking to save money, there is a city bus that stops right across the street from the hotels. At the airport get directions to the Lynx line 42 (Lynx is the name of the Orlando Bus Service). Get off at Point Orlando, the stop before the convention center on International Drive.

It looks like the Rosen is sold out, so we have the next best thing, the hotel next door. The Quality Inn Plaza is all set up for you.

To make reservations by phone: Call toll-free at 800-999-8585 or internationally at 407-996-8585. The group code for your event is G/3267/2006.  Callers may also just reference "World Yo-Yo Contest."
