Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Exhibitor Guide
Also known as Signia by Hilton Orlando, an Official Walt Disney World Hotel; formerly Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek; shares its meeting campus with the Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Two hotels in a 482-acre preserve next to Walt Disney World share one meeting campus, with three ballrooms on a single lobby level. The newest, the Waterside, opened in 2024. Dermatology, pest control and clinical research expos come here on their own, about 10 miles by road from the convention center, so plan freight and crews as for a standalone venue.

Quick answers
What exhibitors ask about Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek
The resort is next to Walt Disney World, not on the OCCC campus. Shows here are complete events with their own contractor and dock.
A FedEx Office center inside the hotel receives packages for a fee by weight. Booth freight goes to your show contractor, such as GES at 7945 Mandarin Drive.
No one has to join a union to work a show here. Each show's contractor sets what your own staff may do, so check your kit.
Only at Bonnet Creek
Signia by Hilton and Waldorf Astoria Orlando: one meeting campus inside the Bonnet Creek preserve
The two towers opened together in 2009 as one complex, and they still sell meeting space together: groups booking Signia also get the Waldorf's meeting space. For an exhibitor that means a show may hold sessions in both hotels, so check which building your booth is in. It also means you are out of the convention district, in a resort ringed by Disney land.

Ballrooms & meeting space

All three ballrooms share the lobby level, with the Waterside reached across a bridge from the original building. Breakout rooms sit below. The diagram stacks the levels and draws each ballroom's height to its ceiling.

Insider tips
Signia Bonnet Creek exhibitor tips: what experienced teams do
Only one ballroom has 20 ft
The Bonnet Creek Ballroom is 20 ft high; the Floridian and the newer Waterside are 18 ft. Design for 18 ft until your show names the room.
Ask the freight route to the Waterside
The 2024 Waterside Ballroom is across a bridge from the original building, and the public plans do not show the dock. Get the route and door sizes before you build tall crates.
Pack for a two-hour set-up
FPMA 2027 gives exhibitors 2:00 to 4:00 pm with no early access. A pop-up or tension-fabric booth fits that window; a crated custom build may not.
Beat the afternoon dock rush
GES asks carriers to check in by 2 pm here, because the docks get congested late in the afternoon. Book a morning delivery slot.
Time FedEx boxes to four days out
The hotel's FedEx Office asks for arrival four days before the event and charges storage after five. Earlier boxes cost more.
Budget crew transport
The resort is about 10 miles by road from the convention center and 18.7 miles from MCO. If your crew stays on International Drive, plan daily rides.
