2026 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 three resort options depending on your preference: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. 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 $329/night.
 
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a short taxi/rideshare from the convention center. The conference rate at this resort is $235/night. Please note: From January 25, 2026, through January 31, 2026, Disney Skyliner will be closed for refurbishment. Complimentary bus service will still be available.

There are several shuttle, taxi, and rental car options from the Orlando International Airport. As of 2022, Disney’s Magical Express no longer operates 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 complimentary drinks and dessert. Stick around to watch the nighttime fireworks spectacular with us at 9:00 pm.
 
Guest tickets are available to purchase here.

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.
