Q. Where should I stay?

A.  Man in the Mirror negotiated special rates at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort for our guests in 2012:

  • $99 (tax exempt) is for a Lakeview room.  These are exterior rooms with a view of Lake Buena Vista.
  • $119 (tax exempt) is for a slightly larger, interior room overlooking Downtown Disney (request a higher floor facing Downtown Disney).

Note:  The above rates are available 3 days prior to and after the Summit and are subject to first come/first served.  If the block of rooms reserved for Man in the Mirror is sold out, then the rates will still be honored IF there are rooms still available for your reservation time period.  Hotel reservations must be made by January 20th.

Q. How does the tax exemption apply to the hotel room charge?

A. Man in the Mirror will secure your credit card during the registration process.  At the conclusion of the event, the Wyndham will directly bill Man in the Mirror for your room.  Man in the Mirror will in turn, process the hotel room charges to your credit card at the tax exempt rate.  The hotel will also ask you for your credit card when you initially call to reserve your room as well as when you check in (to cover any incidentals).  Unfortunately, the Wyndham is unable to suppress taxes and fees on their website, so please disregard those amounts.
