Hotel Information:

The Wisconsin delegation hotel will be the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive hotel.  We have negotiated a rate of $ 149.00 plus taxes in a group room block that also waives the resort fee. This for a single hotel room with a $20 charge for additional guests.  In the case of sharing a room as a double, the room rate will be $169.00 plus taxes.

The room block expires on May 25 so please make sure to make your reservations by that date. The number to call and make reservations is: 800-421-8001 and use Wisconsin Education Association as the group room block name.  We are recommending that all delegates stay at the Wisconsin delegation hotel.

Or you can make reservations on-line or by phone.
