MegaCon Orlando 2026 | Stay 15 Min from the Convention Center
The Southeast's biggest pop culture convention returns to the Orange County Convention Center with over 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space — a record for any comic convention in North America. MegaCon 2026 features celebrity meet-and-greets, cosplay competitions, anime programming, gaming tournaments, and wall-to-wall panels across four packed days. Past guests have included stars from Marvel, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and more.
Bring your whole crew to Parkside Retreat and make MegaCon a vacation. Our 6-bedroom home sleeps up to 14, giving your group plenty of room for cosplay prep, prop storage, and late-night hangouts after the convention floor closes. With a private pool, game room, and full kitchen, you'll have everything you need — and at a fraction of what International Drive hotels charge. We're just 15 minutes from the convention center and 10 minutes from Disney, so you can easily mix con days with theme park visits.

The Real Cost of a Hotel vs. One Comfortable Home
Hotels look cheaper at first - until you factor in multiple rooms, fees (parking, resort fee, etc), and limited space. Our home offers room to relax, amenities you'll actually use, and a better overall value.

Guest Experiences
The accommodations were great for our 10-person group. Location to many shops and restaurants made it convenient for stocking up on food and getting meals. Access to the club with pool and lazy river was a nice addition. I highly recommend.
