Couple of things that you guys might want to bear in mind for next year.
Looks like main registration is going to be in the Sheraton.
Hyatt and Marriott are already sold out for next year’s D*C. Get your rooms NOW.
Early word is that the MMO track is going to be back in the Sheraton, although I have not confirmed this yet.

I got mine at the Hilton about one week after the con ended and they were about booked up also. If I could recommend one thing for people, reserve a room the day you go home from that years con or the very next day if possible. Most of the hotels you can cancel with little to no penalty if need be. Getting the room is the important part.
Getting rooms for the Thursday and Monday night/Tuesday is getting more and more popular. I did it this year, and it’s a good thing I did. They wouldn’t let me in my room until 6:00 PM on Sunday due to a computer snafu, but I plan on showing up early again next year. (and now that my wife won’t be 9 months pregnant at the con, I plan on “letting my hair down” a bit more)
As for reserving a room when you check out… Some hotels can’t even put it in their reservation computers until a month or so after con. It’s worth a look, but don’t count on being able to do it.
