It's Never Too Early

And my hotel is booked!

Is it a little crazy to book a hotel this far in advance, especially with the Fall rumours going around?  Maybe.  But here's a few reasons why I think it's something at least worth considering.

1 - Anaheim is almost guaranteed.  Even before the recent rumours, almost everyone agreed Celebration 2019 would be in Anaheim.  So we have a very good idea of the venue.

2 - Ignoring the recent Fall rumours, April is the most likely month for Celebration.  The last two US Celebrations were mid April, debuting the teaser trailer for the upcoming Sequel Trilogy film.  Based on those Celebrations you could predict this one to be 11th-14th or 18th-21st April 2019.

3 - Booking before Celebration is announced could help avoid potential hotel mark ups.  Not guaranteed, but certainly worth keeping in mind.  It will certainly help with room availability.

4 - It's free.  This is the main one.  If you pick the wrong weekend or if you pre-book both, you can cancel any room(s) you don't need.  Obviously make sure you read the cancellation terms and conditions of your hotel before you book as some may have fees or not be cancelable, but the vast majority of hotels will let you book now and cancel with no penalty as long as you do it a day or two before your intended stay.  So even if the Fall rumours turn out to be true, you don't lose anything.

On top of all that, I must say it also feels great to have something booked.  It's silly but it makes it feel more real even if I do ultimately end up having to cancel/change it.

Roll on May 4th!
