From what I remember there is no way to reserve a badge after online registration is closed. You have to wait until friday to get a badge, and Thursday is only for Pre and Early Registration.

When I stayed there, they were like mini-bar fridges, less than 2x2. I'd call ahead about an early check-in, it shouldn't be a problem.

wait, by mini bar you mean theres stuff already in them correct? if so i'm not even gonna open it up to see what it is XD

I dont remember there ever being anything already in the fridge, and if there is I would only think there are water bottles. (and you can just remove thoes.)

ahh, thanks much. i wasn't expecting much, but just having cold juice in the morning will make me happy enough.

There are a few juice choices at the continental breakfast. Along with bread, muffins, yogurt, cereal, pancakes (I only remember that for one year), and a few mor like waffles and fruit.  Its quite a choice.  :P  And it comes with the room.

I have friends who stay at the Ramada every year, and I discovered last year the that Ramada is located across the street from a night club/bar.

Just fair warning to those of you staying there, you might encounter some things on your way back to the hotel. I walked my friend back last year and we ran across the street to avoid a bar fight on the sidewalk. That's not to say YOU will, but I'd just be prepared.

Otherwise, from what I understand it's generally worth it to stay there. The walk isn't too bad and the facilities are decent. :)

The only thing I ever got from the night clubs was weird stairs...it was weird...I saw cops a few times, but I have found it easy to avoid the clubs by cutting across the streets.  :P

Omg!  So want to do!  ...but I think that it will clash with my G.O.H. assistant job...

True. The weapons Policy is there.  But when it comes to Cosplay you can do whatever you want!  Just respect the character!  Cosplay is a way to show your love of the character(s)!

I just had a random older lady (older then my mom but younger then my grandma) come up to me in a store and say "You kinda got that Anime Look going don't you? Very Visual."  I was surprised!  And all I was wearing was torn blue jeans and a black coat with a Hat!!! She even reconized my 2010 Fanime Lanyard hanging from my pocket (I use it as a key chain)!!  But That made me smile all the way home.

Going through a hard time with my beloved best friend Daisy-dog.  She has Diabities and Im not sure if I can afford to take care of her...

My friends and I went to a nice little pizza a few blocks away from the con last year, I think it was called something like Santa Carlos Pizza? Wish I remembered the exact name, but I'm sure that's close to it.

The cheese was yummy and the crust was perfectly crispy. The price was pretty good too.

I remember this place!!  I bought a 2 lg pies there and then kept one for me and my friends and shared the other one with everyone (or as many as I could) in the line behind me for the AnCafe concert a few yrs ago.  It was very good.  :P

Plus since its a smaller hotel I'm hoping it won't be as hectic as the Marriott was(stayed there last year)

Are there really microwaves and fridges in the rooms? It's not a deal breaker if there aren't, just wondering if the hotel info was correct.

It is much quieter! You also dont have con goers running up and down the halls at 2am.
Yes there are Microwaves and fridges!
Theres also a pool and a small gym.

ALSO!!!  FREE continental BREAKFAST is Included!!  FREE food at a con is ALWAYS a good thing (for your wallet!!)

I dont want to say to many good things about Ramada...then every one will go here...  BUT!  I will tell you of the 8 yrs in a row that I have used this hotel!  Truly Awesome!  The walk is short. Only takes 3-5mins. (depending on the lights and traffic).  Parking is FREE!!  Yes FREE!!

Also FREE continental breakfast. (Ur really going to want to eat whenever you can! And why not eat FREE?!!)
A pool. (to swim in, lounge by, and even take cosplay pics near!)
A Gym. (its to lat to get in shape for FANIME, but if your adrienaling is excited thens its a good place to go.  :P)
And very nice Rooms. And it doesnt really matter how nice the rooms are, you should only be sleeping and changing there really.  :P

All in all you made a good choice young one. And I hope to see you there!  We may even be right next to eachother!  lol

Am I doing something wrong?

I go to

--->fanime.com
--->Location link
--->Reserve Today link
Then I get sent to --->'Housing Home'...
and thats it...nothing pops up where there should be the registration...

I quoted someone else who had this problem, since I had a problem too.
I was using google chrome for my browse and nothing came up for me either, so I opened the site with firefox and it was perfectly fine. I hope its something similar, because its a simple compatibly issue.

I saw ur link as well...but I tried dl Firefox but it wont dl...

OMG!!!  HILLARIOUS!!!  (but so true)   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnrOyx5VvYc

Is it hard to registar?  Ive never done it through the con before and just want to make sure I do it right.  :P

Not particularly. However, make sure you're prepared. Keep your credit card handy so you can enter in without digging out your wallet while you're putting in your info.

Now, I've never reserved -without- a credit card, so I don't know how that works, but I think someone with experience not using ye Mighty Plastic can speak to that :)

The one time I did reserve a room I had a debit card not a credit. When you check in using debit they take out a sum as a deposit in case anything gets damaged. When you check out they give that deposit is returned to your account.

Thx so much Dany, Knightfire!  :P  I just got my cosplay yesterday so being able to buy my rm within the same week is so awesome!

Good Idea:   Being a Cosplayer at FANIME 2011!
BadIdea:   Being a Cosplay Hater at FANIME 2011!!

I got to go up on stage at Summer Sac Anime 2010 and perform my "Real Fans of Genius" with him. Best experience ever.

That was very cool.  :P  Your lucky!


My moment was FANIME 10!  I got to go up on stage and Introduce Skits with Ric Meyers at the Masqurade!  Very Very Awsome!  Hope to get to do it again this year!

I am not happy its almost the weekend...  (I wk friday to thrusday...)

Fanimecon Has already locked down it's blocks for 2011. I can confirm that Fanime has a contract with the Ramada now. I found out the hard way when i went to reserve my room and couldn't. I got a hold of the Ramada regional manager and they told me that It looked like I would get a pretty good discount but I had to reserve my room threw Fanime as per their contract. I could not reserve it threw the Ramada online or on the phone This is for a 2 bed - (3+ person) room only.

Hopefully Fanime will be able to get housing up and running in the next month. I hope .... pray ... cross my fingers ... sacrifice chicken (KFC).

I just found this out the same way with Ramada. But I HAD a rm through them with discount and everything! They called me and told me that a mistake was made and that I had to go through FANIME to get a rm. Im really hoping to stay at Ramada like I have for the past 7 years!
Also? Does FANIME have only the single rms to?  I only need one bed for FANIME this year and really dont want to have to pay for a two bed when I dont need it (even if it is discounted...).

I just got a call from my hotel (Ramada Limited) and they said that the reservation I had already wasnt accepted because FANIME took all the rooms and that if I wanted the deal then I would have to wait for FANIME to open their reservation site...does any admin know when they are going to do this?  And how they are going to do this?  Like a first come first serve?

I've never done this through FANIME before and Im a little worried that I wont get a hotel rm at my favorite hotel...Also!...All I need is a single...Just one for me and my Boyfriend...
