Darklord Day 2017

How many sleeps is this?

 

Wait...


May?!?


Is it possible that they're actually trying to avoid it being miserable outside?

 

So much for the "omfg it's the last saturday in april every year you idiots" crowd from the previous thread.......

 

I was seriously ready to say "OMFG really, a DLD thread for next year, already?"

And then I saw the date, and got excited.

DAMN YOU, FFF!

 

I was saying, "Great, another thread with a screwed up title".

I'm looking forward to going to my 2nd DLD next year, and as you mentioned, pushing it out a couple weeks SHOULD help with the weather.

 

I can't imagine that pushing it back 2 weeks wouldn't at least make it warmer. I think I'm prepared for the rain this year, but a 10 degree increase (or more) would push the enjoyment factor through the roof.

 

Finally. Change can be good.

 

Not sayin I just line jumped at the Hampton but I probably just line jumped at the Hampton.

$116/night is less than I paid to stay a few miles away last year.

 

How do you guarantee you'll get tickets though? I always feel like I'll jinx it if I make resos--it's such a crapshoot trying for tickets. There's usually still rooms not too far away even if you wait until after the sales are done.

 

I bet they made the move because they lost significant business due to the extremely poor weather. Grabbed a room for Friday and Saturday at the Hampton. Already looking forward to May, that is if I get tickets.

 

As long as you book refundable it's no big deal. Just like it wasn't a big deal that I just cancelled my reservation at the Courtyard for the previously assumed date for DLD. I'm not sure why the Marriotts are almost already full for the May 13th date, the only thing I saw available was some pricey package deal.

So I just booked the Hampton, hopefully they don't cancel my reservation or something because of the waiting list. Price was already up to $140 though.

 

FYI this is Mother's Day weekend.

 

I'm sorry mama... I never meant to hurt youuuuuu.. I never meant to make you cry, but today, I'm goin to DL Day..

 

I just tried to book a room and it wouldn't let me

 

Assuming that's hotel management going "ohhhhh shit".

They had the hotel booked full for April 29th under the assumption DLD was taking place that day, and they have a waiting list a mile long for a room.

Be reeaaaaaaaaaal interesting to see how they handle this

 

That date doesn't work for me.

 

I'm 46th on waiting list, hope they honor that.
