Added shuttle information.

Thank you for the shuttle info! I wasn't expecting any for another month or two so this is really great 

No problem. It's also not finalized and may change. :X

Q: There are three hotels that are pretty far away (DoubleTree, Radisson, and Wyndham). How do we get to FanimeCon from those hotels? (Added on 2/7/12, Updated on 2/25/12)
A: We will have a shuttle that goes from those hotels to the convention center (details will be coming later). If those are not options that you would like to use, there is also public transportation.

The shuttle will be running in a continuous loop to/from the San Jose Convention Center for the DoubleTree, Radisson, and Wyndham.

For the schedule, there are three different times listed. Peak = approx. every 15 to 20 minutes, Off Peak = approx. every 30 to 45 minutes, and Overnight = approx. every hour.

(Information is not finalized and might change)

Thursday, May 24
5:00pm – 11:00pm (off peak)

Friday, May 25 / Saturday, May 26 / Sunday, May 27
8:00am – 2:00pm (off peak)
2:00pm – 7:00pm (peak)
7:00pm – 2:00am (off peak)
2:00am – 8:00am (overnight)

Monday, May 28
8:00am – 2:00pm (off peak)
2:00pm – 6:00pm (off peak)

Overnight service? That's awesome

I was wondering if the shuttle takes u from the hotel directly to the convention center? Also, about how much will it cost?

I believe the shuttle is a free service that is provided to convention attendees and hotel guests?

Shuttle is a free service brought to you by FanimeCon and Team San Jose. I believe that it will only be provided to FanimeCon members, but don't quote me on that last part.

Will there be additional room blocks opening up as Fanime approaches, or has it all been finalized?

TBD, but unlikely. If we were to get more rooms at a certain hotel, we would go through the waitlist first.

My friend and I booked two seperate rooms at the same hotel (Marriott) from Thurs-Mon, is it possible to get them as connected rooms?

What would be the best way to go about that if we can?

I don't think there is any actual cut off date for the waitlist - either a spot opens up or it doesn't, but I would assume that if you don't get the spot the day before (or the week) you're supposed to check in that you probably won't get a spot on the waitlist that you would like.

You mean the security deposit?  Last year it was $50/night.

[Armored-Heart]

Question, when do they take the deposit? I heard/think it was around the 27th of this month (since that's the last day to cancel a reservation), but do they take the deposit then or upon check in?

They don't generally charge the deposit until you check in.
