2025 Carnegie Conference

The Carnegie Conference will be held at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resort in Walt Disney World. With a conference as informative as this, it really is the “happiest place on Earth”!

The Carnegie Conference Disney page provides more information on hotels, transportation, and entertainment.

There are four resort options depending on your preference: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, and Disney’s Coronado Springs. All resorts will honor the conference discounted rate for three days before and after the event for your extended enjoyment as availability allows.

Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts are both connected to the convention center (the Beach Club is a slightly shorter walk to the conference space). The rate for both of these resorts is $312/night. Please note: Two pools at the Yacht Club, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Kiddie Pool, will be closed January – June 2025 for routine maintenance and refurbishment.

Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. This charming hotel is honoring the $312/night conference rate and is just across the lake from the convention center—a 15-minute walk.

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is a short taxi/rideshare from the convention center. The conference rate at this resort is $229/night.

There are several shuttle, taxi, and rental car options from the Orlando International Airport. As of 2022, Disney’s Magical Express will no longer be operating from MCO to Disney World. If Disney releases any additional options, we will be sure to update you.

Your conference registration will include a 5:00 pm entrance to Epcot on Wednesday night for you to explore the many rides, pavilions, and magic on your own. Epcot tips and recommendations will be shared closer to the event.

Join us at 8:00 pm on the private patio in the French pavilion, Isle de France, where we’ll have complementary drinks and dessert. Stick around to watch the nighttime fireworks spectacular with us at 9:00 pm.

Guest tickets are available to purchase.

If you’re planning to add to the magic by adding days before or after the conference, be sure to reserve your rooms as soon as possible to secure the significantly discounted room rates.

Don’t forget, Disney offers discounted park tickets for conference attendees. You can purchase these tickets on the Carnegie Conference Disney page by clicking “Buy Tickets” in the top right.
