ICSC will cover the room rates for these rooms on the Master account for the evenings of Wednesday, November 1st, Thursday, November 2nd, Friday, November 3rd, with checkout on Saturday, November 4th. Incidentals are not allowed to be charged to the room and will not be covered by ICSC.

Same gender competitors are required to share a room. Single occupancy rooms paid for by ICSC MUST be paired with a same gender student competitor from a different university. Universities have the option to not pair their single student and instead pay half the room cost on qualifying room nights.

Only the cost of the room will be covered on the Master account, you will be responsible for any incidentals and nights extended as they will not be covered by ICSC. At the time of check in, a hold is placed on your personal credit card at $75 per night for Incidentals. Rates may change, inquire at the time of check in.

Make Changes to your Hotel Reservations

ICSC Master Account Rooms

Reservation confirmations for allotted rooms (rooms paid by ICSC) have been emailed to the faculty coach. Keep this confirmation on record as you will be responsible for making the necessary updates to your room reservations to include name and date changes. Before the event, you should update the official name of the persons in the room on the reservation. This will assure payment by ICSC. Making these changes should not require a credit card.

Any extensions or changes to dates outside of what ICSC has identified as covered will be the responsibility of the University. At the time of check-in a credit card will be collected to cover extended dates and incidentals.

If you have any issues updating your room reservation, please contact the Caribe Reservations Department at 407-238-8000.

Contact Shannon Young styoung@business.fsu.edu with any questions.

Disney Night Extension

If you choose to stay the night of the 4^th, lodging costs will be out of pocket. You do not need to make a new reservation; you may extend the room reservations currently in place. A credit card will be collected at the time of check in to cover the additional lodging expenses.

No Show Rooms

ICSC will email you confirmation numbers and info to review thoroughly. It is the responsibility of the participating university to communicate any updates and changes. “No show rooms” are rooms reserved on behalf of the participating university where no one checks in or stays. ICSC does not pay for no show rooms. No show rooms will be billed to the university and the charge will be deducted from the university travel reimbursement.

Discount tickets are $114 and may be purchased in advance by check or credit card. These are after 1 pm tickets to be used on Saturday, November 4th. These tickets can only be used on November 4th and due to the Pandemic the choice of park is pre-assigned. You may choose one of the four parks to visit: Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot (please note that the parks close at different times – google to find out closing times).  Once you decide, the park choice cannot be changed and if there is an attempt to change online or on the app it will void all tickets. So once assigned, please DO NOT try to change the ticket date or park choice. Once you have finalized your park choice, complete this form to choose your park.
