For those of you that are interested, the OMNI Hotel will open reservations for the 2017 DSC Convention will open on March 28, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. We have changed a couple of things this year to hopefully make rooms available to more attendees (remember, the entire hotel sold out in less than 3 hours last year); this year a non-refundable deposit of at least one nights stay will be required for booking. Also, the OMNIU has raised their rates a small amount (and it wouldn't surprise me if the other hotels do the same), but I don't think that increasing the rates $10.00 or $20.00 will create a shortage of customers.
Last year, many outfitters were unaware of the opening of reservations and missed out on rooms at the OMNI so please forward this to your outfitter friends. If you call or attempt to book online before 10:00a.m. EDT (or 14:00 GMT...too many time zones to convert them all)the reservation will not be accepted, so if you try and can't get thru, keep trying!

here is the notice:
