Many people reserve a room for the following year as they are checking out at the end of the Dragon in the current year. This is one reason why most rooms were gone so early at Fontana.

Rooms DO become available, though, in the next few weeks...for a variety of reasons. I'd keep checking, if I were you. Nothing is set in stone until Sunday, May 6.

So much for the waiting list-if you are the first to call and they have a cancellation, you get it-so there is hope after all so if you don't have a room or have a room somewhere else and want to stay at Fontana keep trying!

This is my first dragon and I called every motel that was open in January and the best I could do was a reservation at the Highland Manor in Townsend, over an hour away. I have been trying to wangle a room for my daughter and I ever since! Thanks Mini-Bee for your post-it got me on the phone and got us a place to stay in the middle of the festivities!
Glad I could help. I tried reserving a room online like 2 weeks ago but I hadn't heard anything. So I figured I would call and they said someone canceled earlier that day so they had one room available. This is my first dragon also and I cannot wait to meet everyone and hang out. Don't forget that I do have a spare bed available if someone needs a place to crash. pm and we can see what we can work out.
