Help Us Plan OEC at Walt Disney World® in 2027!

Optometric Education Consultants is already planning our 2027 Walt Disney World® educational meeting, and we would love your input.

Our Disney meeting has become one of our most popular educational events, and for 2027 we are considering the following resort and date options. Your feedback will help us determine which experience works best for our attendees.


Option 1
Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts
June 25–27, 2027
OEC Group Room Rate $399/night
Option 2
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
July 9–11, 2027
OEC Group Room Rate: $385/night
Option 3
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Dates TBD
OEC Group Room Rate: $TBD

1. Based on the options above, which meeting would you be MORE LIKELY to attend?
2. If the dates and room rates were identical, which resort would you prefer?
3. How would moving the OEC meeting from the Contemporary Resort to the either the Grand Floridian Resort or Yacht & Beach Club Resorts affect your likelihood of attending?
4. Which timing works better for you and your family?
5. How much does the hotel room rate influence your decision to attend the OEC Disney meeting?
6. At what nightly room rate would the cost of staying at the OEC resort be too high for you to attend?
7. When attending an OEC Disney meeting, which factor is MOST important in your decision?

8. Thinking specifically about 2027, how likely are you to attend an OEC meeting at Walt Disney World®?
Is there anything else that would influence your decision between the Yacht & Beach Club in late June, Grand Floridian, and the Contemporary in July?
