• Room Reservations

  Hotel reservations must be made on the official FCCLA housing reservation site or by calling the central reservations line with the Group Code. After submitting your registration in the FCCLA Portal, the primary chapter adviser will automatically receive an email confirmation with instructions to make hotel reservations. If you do not receive a registration confirmation email within 48 hours, email meetings@fcclainc.org. Check your spam or junk mail folder for the email as well.

  Reservations made by third-party booking sites (Expedia, Orbitz, Kayak, etc.) or directly with the hotel will not be included in the FCCLA hotel block. They will not qualify as staying within the FCCLA housing block. FCCLA cannot accept responsibility for reservations booked improperly.

• Housing Policies

  Room rates and the cost of meeting space are based on an anticipated room pick‐up. It is important that FCCLA attendees stay within the official meeting/conference hotel block when attending the meeting/conference.

  Attendees not staying within the official meeting/conference hotel block will be assessed a $125 fee per registration. This policy will not be implemented once the hotel block is sold out. The availability of a preferred room type will not provide an exemption from this policy.

  Only registered conference attendees can take advantage of the FCCLA-negotiated conference room rates within the FCCLA housing block dates. To accommodate FCCLA members and for the safety of all attendees, every guest staying within the FCCLA conference block must be registered for the conference.

  If you wish to arrive early or stay longer, the FCCLA rate will be good for up to three nights before and after the conference dates.

  It is important that you make your hotel reservations before booking travel arrangements.

• Housing Payments

  A credit card is required when making your room reservations to guarantee the room(s). The card on file will not be charged unless the room is canceled inside of 72 hours of arrival. If paying your final bill with another credit card or check, see the specific instructions below.
      
  If paying the final bill by check, the hotel must receive a check for the full payment at least 14 days prior to your arrival.  If the hotel receives the check less than 14 days of your arrival, then a credit card will need to be provided at check-in. Once the check clears, you can initiate a request for reimbursement with the hotel to the credit card charged. All checks must be made payable to Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista – Disney Springs Hotel and mailed to the address below. Please use a tracking number so you can confirm the check was received and please include room names/confirmation numbers with the check.

The billing department will setup a quick BillPay link to allow the school to securely pay for the room. This process must be complete at least 5 business days prior to arrival.
      

  Payments for hotel reservations should not be mailed to FCCLA National Headquarters. In the event payment for housing is inadvertently sent to FCCLA, it will be returned to you. These payments will not be forwarded to the hotel.
