(when
Florida's hot summer temperatures
begin cooling down) tickets starting
at 5pm (to any one park) will
be just $59.15 (+ tax). If you want
to go earlier, you can get in to a
park starting at 1pm for
$88.26 (+ tax) - or select a 1pm Park
Hopper pass for $139.90 (+
tax) if you want to freely travel between
all of the parks the rest of the
day and night. Another thing
that will make this deal especially
attractive is that the widely
acclaimed
Epcot International Food & Wine
Festival will be going
on at the same time as MERGE! (and
yes, you can use the discounted
tickets to go).
Some
of the most fun I've ever had at a
conference was at the 2008
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Orlando event
that was held at Disney World's
Grand Floridian Hotel. Now, in 2018, after
debuting at the Orlando Marriott
World Resort last
year, MERGE! is moving right
next door to Disney World with their
new
venue at the Hilton in
dining/shopping/entertainment mecca Disney
Springs. That will put
attendees in the middle of
everything Disney World has to
offer, including free transportation
to and from the parks. While I plan
to put in a full workday every day
at MERGE! when the suns starts heading
down I'm going to re-live some of
that fun we had a decade ago when
domainers ruled the (Disney)
world!

By the way - that guy in the seat

lead the way back to the Magic
Kingdom in 2018!
