August 3–6, 2019 | Rosen Shingle Creek

This year, the DAV National Convention returns to sunny Orlando, Fla. Known for its attractions and entertainment, the City Beautiful ensures visitors of all ages have an experience they’ll never forget.

Orlando offers something for everyone: family-friendly attractions, world-class dining and entertainment, top-notch golf courses and other recreational activities, and of course, beautiful weather.

After spending time working alongside fellow veterans to help shape DAV’s future, an array of one-of-a-kind experiences await you. Convention-goers can experience the magic of Walt Disney World, the sights and sounds of Universal Orlando, the wonders of marine life at SeaWorld Orlando, world-class shopping at Pointe Orlando or breathtaking views atop the 400-foot ICON Orlando 360, just to name a few. Florida’s world-famous beaches and Kennedy Space Center are also only an hour away.

The convention is an opportunity to advocate for ill and injured veterans, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow DAV members, and take ownership of this organization and its yearly agenda—while allowing for a hearty dose of fun in this premier vacation destination.

Our special room rate at the Rosen Shingle Creek is $137 per single or double. Additional hotel reservation information is available at rosenshinglecreek.com using special code GRPDAV2019. For reservations by phone, call 407-996-9939 and tell them you are reserving under the Disabled American Veterans room block.

TRAVEL ASSISTANCE

The Transportation Security Administration can facilitate the screening of injured or wounded veterans. After making flight reservations, veterans (or their care coordinators) should contact a TSA Cares representative by calling toll-free 855-787-2227 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and weekends and holidays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time. A representative will either provide screening information relevant to the veteran’s disability or refer the veteran to experts at TSA for help through the screening process.
