Not all visitors flocking down on Orlando, the city beautiful, are here to see Mickey and friends. In fact, Discount Vacation Rentals Online receives quite a few questions on what ‘other’ options there are besides Disney World. Usually we refer these guests then to our things to do in Orlando section, but why not visit one of the many conventions in the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) here in Orlando?
Some are open to the public, others are not and only accessible for professionals or on invitation. For example the March convention Celebrate Orlando is one where anyone can attend but you need to register in advance. The schedule of events for March 2010 below will show whether or not the event is open to the public yes or no.
Some of these conventions in Orlando will have more specifics and detailed information laid out in separate blogs that are dedicated to that conference or event on our site. A great example is the ISA 2012 convention in Orlando, not open to the public but a milestone for an organization, International Sign Association, that holds the largest sign conference here in Orlando in March 2012.
According to the Orange County Convention Center the schedule of upcoming conventions and events in Orlando is as follows:
Lodging Near OCCC
If you are visiting the Orlando area with the purpose of attending a convention or if you are a company who is exhibiting at the Orange County Convention Center, it will not be a surprise that staying in a vacation rental is no doubt a more budget friendly solution to lodging accommodations than staying in a nearby hotel on International Drive.
UPDATE: DVRO is now offering condos and townhouses in walking distance from the Orlando Convention Center. Visit Vista Cay Resort community for more info.
For larger groups we suggest you contact Discount Vacation Rentals Online directly and let us figure out the best options for your party. You can start of course by having a glance at the different Orlando rental communities and the homes that are represented in each community. For a short description on all communities and where to find what exactly on the DVRO web site, we suggest a run through the Table Of Contents which will guide you fast through the site with this site map. Each community there will be listed with the type of vacation rentals you can find within that specific community. Some communities are town homes only, or have just condos, many only have private pool homes in there. A few communities such as Emerald Island, Terra Verde, Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms have a mix of condos, town homes and pool homes all in one community, if that were important to you.
