The event management team at Solidworks has been able to line up another benefit for those planning to attend Solidworks World 2009 in Orlando. Attendees are being offered the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to all the Disney Theme Parks, and to other area attractions. Now being a Disneyland Annual Pass holder, and frequent visitor to the Disneyland Resort, I can assure it's not very common for Disney to discount anything (how about a $3.00 churro!). Solidworks has partnered up with Hello Florida to offer the discounted tickets. There are multiple combinations of tickets available to purchase.
So how do you get your discount tickets? Well the easiest way is to pre-order them and have them sent to you. If you just aren't into that kind of pre-planning, there will be an on-site booth set up for you to purchase tickets in person. After a search on the Internet, you will not be able to find a better deal on tickets unless you get really lucky on eBay.
The nice thing about the event being in a place like Orlando, is you can tag a vacation onto the end of your work, and will save on some expenses since it will be tied into work. I wouldn't suggest trying to expense a pair of Mickey Ears, but you get the idea.
My plan is to grab myself a 4-day park hopper which I can use Thurs-Sunday after Solidworks World ends. I have never been, and I'm looking forward to seeing how much different Walt Disney World is compared to Disneyland.
Mike, having been to both coasts to visit Disney, I can tell you there isn't anything better than EPCOT. My 7 year old just loved the GM Test Track and my 12 year old loved Mission Space.
I can't wait, we're planning having a few extra days that week as well.
