Anaheim Fall Leadership Institute
Resources
Join a select group of FCCLA Members and Advisers for the second annual FCCLA Fall Leadership Institute, taking place in Anaheim, CA, from October 22–25, 2025. This exciting experience is designed to build leadership and teamwork skills through the immersive Disney methodology.
During the event, attendees will participate in two half-day, Disney-led workshops held inside the parks. These small-group sessions are designed to maximize engagement and learning. Because each workshop takes place in a different Disney park, please coordinate student schedules carefully—additional chaperones may be required depending on course selection.

Housing Policies
Room rates and the cost of meeting space are based on an anticipated room pick‐up. It is important that FCCLA attendees stay within the official meeting/conference hotel block when attending the meeting/conference.
Attendees not staying within the official meeting/conference hotel block will be assessed a $125 fee per registration. This policy will not be implemented once the hotel block is sold out. The availability of a preferred room type will not provide an exemption from this policy.
Only registered conference attendees can take advantage of the FCCLA-negotiated conference room rates within the FCCLA housing block dates. To accommodate FCCLA members and for the safety of all attendees, every guest staying within the FCCLA conference block must be registered for the conference.
If you wish to arrive early or stay longer, the FCCLA rate will be good for up to three nights before and after the conference dates but rooms are based on availability.
It is important that you make your hotel reservations before booking travel arrangements.

Housing Payments
A credit card is required when making your room reservations to guarantee the room(s). Nothing will be charged to credit card on file unless cancelled late or a no show. A valid credit card (with your name on it) must be presented at check-in to charge for your stay. If paying your final bill with a school credit card or check, see the specific instructions below.
If paying the final bill by check, the hotel must receive a check for the full payment at least 14 days prior to your arrival. If the hotel receives the check less than 14 days of your arrival, then a credit card will need to be provided at check-in. Once the check clears, you can initiate a request for reimbursement with the hotel to the credit card charged. All checks must be made payable to Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim - South and mailed to the address below. Please include room names/confirmation numbers with the check.
