  1. The Hilton is back and taking reservations. Fortunately not at $919.00 per night as we saw at the Marriott.

    Trivago seems to have the best price plus a few of the other hotels, such as the Portofino (a 5 minute walk to the con)

    have lowered their prices.

    Not everyone has joined the price reduction bandwagon but I would think they will pretty soon.

    I know the Hilton's a bit on they pricey side at $277.00 per day but it's the location that makes it the most 

    sought after hotel.

    I booked the Hilton through Booking.Com because they were offering free cancelation and pay at the hotel.

    I'm keeping my reservation through the celebration site and pick the best one as the con gets closer.

  2. My reservation has been made. I had a 14 minute wait in the que line and was able to secure a room at the Courtyard by Marriott.

    The Hilton and the Marriott sold out. No surprise.

    Now I wait till next year Somewhere around February or March will be the time to start checking the hotels for openings.

    As the con gets closer people will need to cancel for a variety of reasons.

  3. Here is the price list for the hotels. This was posted on Reddit by a VIP ticket holder.

  5. I'm seeing a lot of people on line complaining about this date change for a variety of reasons.

    I do not have have any problem with it at all.

    All this means is now I only have to wait for a year instead of 15 months for the next Celebration.

     

  6. It's to soon to book hotel rooms. I tried, was able to put in the dates, choose my room only to then be told: NO ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

    Based on what I am finding on line the maximum time frame for booking a room is 1 year from the date of your event.

  7. My school is closed until April 13th. So far. I should know in a couple of weeks if the rest of the school year will be cancelled.

    The state of Iowa was fortunate to have 20 or less confirmed cases of the wuhan virus until yesterday. In the past 48 hours our number has increased by 45.

    At least I can still get in the car and drive around town. Don't have to shelter at home. Yet.

    At this time there are only 4 confirmed cases in my county/city.

    My wife is a nurse at a local hospital so I should have more information when she gets home tomorrow morning.

     

    Be safe everyone and follow the guidelines provided by your local, county and state governments.

     

  8. I happened to be perusing Booking.com last night and discovered that the Hilton and Marriott adjacent to the convention center have rooms available.

    Both of these hotels are located 0.1 miles from the convention center. A 2 minute walk.

    The Clarion which is 0.2 miles away, a 4 minute walk, has rooms also.

    I booked a room at the Hilton for Thursday-Sunday for $800. That includes all taxes and fees.

    The Marriott is about $35.00 a night more and the Clarion is considerably cheaper.

    Wanted to pass this on in case anyone is looking for a room closer to the convention center.

    It’s been pretty hard to be honest. Daughter is going through chemo at the moment. The outlook is quite good but it’s still really tough. Just got to keep positive!

    Star Wars, 501st, the IOC and Rank Badger are a good outlet to keep me going :)

     

    I wish your family and your daughter all the best. I will keep you in my prayers.

    Chemo is a tough treatment to endure but the outcome will be life giving.

    I lost my daughter last September at the young age of 30 so I have an idea of what your going through.

    Stay strong, positive and believe.

  10. The past week has been great!!!

    School is out for the summer and I have 10 weeks of not having to deal with polite, caring, attentive, considerate, courteous, gracious, thoughtful, well mannered and respectful students.

    Can't recall a 4 blue/2 red bar. Possible you mean Commander Praji, who wears 4 blue/2 amber?

     

    Admittedly, when you search for Commander Praji on Google, a lot of the figures do have 4 blue/2 red rank bars.

     

    He and many other ANH Officers (including the Death Star Gantry Officers) carried a Merr-Sonn Power 5.

    The uniformed member shown in the Imperial Staff Officer (black uniform ) CRL is wearing a 4 blue 2 red rank bar.
