Jul 5 to Jul 10
Current hotel booking covers five nights at the DoubleTree.
Leg One
Orlando is the tournament leg and the handoff into Puerto Rico.
This part of the trip is focused, practical, and time-sensitive: the family gets Jackson through Nationals, stays at the DoubleTree, and then transitions to San Juan the next day.
Wave 2, 14 Elite
Competition runs Jul 7 to Jul 10 at the Orange County Convention Center.
One extra night needed
The family leaves Orlando on Jul 11, but the current hotel booking ends Jul 10.

Transition Note
Orlando is booked one night short.
Valmore, Lauren, and Jackson are flying from Orlando to San Juan on Saturday, Jul 11, 2026. The current DoubleTree booking only runs through Friday, Jul 10, 2026, so the microsite should treat the extra Orlando night as an active planning item until the stay is extended.
