Mysterium 2017 Wrap-Up

Posted on by

Shorah all!

It’s been two weeks since Mysterium, and wow, I already miss you all. Is it 2018 yet?

Some wrap-up notes:

We’re looking to make a photo roundup available. If you’ve got any photographs from this year, please shoot committee an email with a link to it. We’ll be including a link to the Flickr group if you’d like to share photos there.

Please note: If you’re linking us to a photo album on Facebook or Google+ or other social media, please make sure it’s not set to friends-only viewing! Otherwise there will be lots of people who can’t see them.

For those of you looking for video, we’re working on it. We’ll make a post when that’s available.

I think 2017 was a lovely Mysterium. We had some really awesome events, and a gorgeous hotel. Mysterium’s heart has always been its attendees, and so I’d like to issue a final thanks to all of you who attended and made this a magical time. I’d also like to thank the stream viewers for tuning into us even though you couldn’t be here.

Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart,

Don’t Forget To Book Your Hotel!

Posted on by

Shorah all!

 

We want to remind everyone who’s planning to attend that the last day to book a guaranteed room in our block at the hotel is Monday, July 3! If you haven’t reserved your room yet, check out our locations page for more info about the hotel, or go straight to our booking page here.

If you’ve already got your room but are staying longer than the convention runs, have you requested your extension? You can book online for Thursday the 3rd through Tuesday the 8th, but you’ll need to use our extension form to request a longer stay.

The committee can’t believe Mysterium is only 5 weeks away.

The committee has been putting together a list of what they’re most looking forward to at Mysterium. My list is:

  • Seeing all my Mysterium friends
  • The theme for this year’s version of WWAB (it’s gonna be great!)
  • The Mysterium pool parties
  • Visiting EPCOT!
  • Being back in my home state again – ahh, sunshine

 

Can’t wait to see you soon,

Location Guide Updates

Posted on by

Shorah!

Two weeks ago, we posted a quick overview of major attractions in the Orlando area that you might want to check out while you’re at Mysterium. Today, we’re unveiling our more detailed location guide.

The guide should help you get acquainted with Orlando before Mysterium happens. We have a section on transportation options and how to get to the hotel from wherever you arrive in the city. We’ve got an expanded list of attractions you might want to visit – not just theme parks, we’ve got some museums and cultural attractions in there too. I know some people were planning theme park trips on our Facebook page, so if you want to go with others, try asking there. If you’re looking to bring home some souvenirs, we’ve listed places to shop. There’s also a local’s guide to great places to eat, including a few places for people with special dietary needs (like your con chair).

We hope this helps you plan your trip. If you’ve got any questions, please leave a comment or drop us an email. The chairs are happy to help you plan for a magical Mysterium!

As always, we’re looking forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Shorah all!

There are only TWO DAYS LEFT to get your conbook and events submissions in for Mysterium 2017! The deadlines for these are this Friday, June 9th!

We haven’t received many submissions for the conbook this year, and right now it looks like we don’t have enough content to print one. If you’ve been planning to submit something but have been putting it off, please submit it by the end of the week! You can find all the details about how to submit here.

Event submissions are also closing. Want to run a panel? A gaming session? Be sure to get them in before the deadline! You can find event submission details here.

Roundup Reminders

Posted on by

Shorah, folks!

 

Two and a half months remain before Mysterium! Are you excited yet? I know I’m excited to spend a fun weekend with all of you, talking about Myst and Obduction and enjoying the Sunshine State.

Have you booked your hotel room yet? If you need a reminder, our hotel will be the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando International Drive Jamaican Court. We’ve secured an exclusive convention rate of $119/night.  To book your hotel room, please visit our online booking site here. Remember that the group room rate is only available till July 3rd.

I know several attendees have expressed interest in staying additional days in Orlando.  Between theme parks, museums, restaurants, and shopping experiences, there’s a lot of things to explore in Orlando. We’ll be putting together a guide to the city soon. Please don’t forget to extend your room rate if you need to! See here for details on extending your reservation.

In other news, we’ve been asked about the schedule. We’re still putting one together, because we’re still taking event submissions. If there’s a panel or event you’d like to do, please go here to submit it to us. The event submission deadline is June 9th.

Finally, while we’re discussing submissions, the conbook is still open! We take art and stories, so please check out here for more info on submitting. The conbook deadline is also June 9th.
