Accommodations at Disney!

Our Disney Team members will be receiving the Disney Team September Newsletter today.  Among other things, the newsletter has information about options for accommodations in Orlando, compiled by the Disney Coordinating Committee.  Below is more information about accommodation options:

DISNEY TEAM ACCOMMODATIONS

Team Houses (off-Disney)

Stay with your teammates in a spacious villa located in the gated Emerald Island Resort Community, approximately 3 miles from Disney in Orlando!  The number of houses rented will vary depending upon the number of individuals interested.  An example house might include: 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 2 family rooms and a screened-in backyard large pool/hot tub.  To avoid an accounting nightmare, we will be charging a standard per-person rate regardless of whether you’re staying for all 5 nights. 

The cost to stay with the team is a standard per-person rate for 5 nights (Thursday, January 5 – Tuesday, January 10) of $200/person. 
·         $150/person (or $30/person/night) for your portion of the rent for the house
·         $50/person for your portion of the refundable security deposit for the house (which barring any damage to the house, will be refunded to you after the race weekend)
·         This is the rate regardless of whether you stay 3 or 5 nights. 

In order to stay with the team, you must:
·         Put down a $100 deposit to secure your spot in a team house no later than October 7 (Checks must be mailed by October 5).
·         Pay the remaining $100 housing fee no later than October 21 (checks must be mailed by October 19).

Payment Options
You will have the option to pay via check or PayPal.  In order to pay via PayPal, you must have a PayPal account.  Setting up a PayPal account involves a multi-day account verification process where PayPal makes a deposit into your bank account that you then have to verify.  You are responsible for sending your payments on time, therefore please keep the multi-day verification process in mind if you are setting up a new PayPal account. 

If you are mailing a check, please mark “Disney Accommodations” on your check and send it to Comfort Zone Camp, Attn: Disney Accommodations, 4906 Cutshaw Ave. 2nd floor, Richmond, VA 23230.
