Dice Tower East 2024

Welcome to Dice Tower East 2024!!

Howdy folks, Tom Vasel here, and we hope you'll join us for 5 fantastic days of gaming with the friendliest people on earth!! We welcome all gamers age 7 and up who love to play board and card games.

I and the Dice Tower Crew will be there and of course, a Dice Tower convention wouldn’t be complete without the amazing Dice Tower library! This library is my pride and joy with over 2,000 games, upgraded pieces, painted miniatures and playmats. And, it only keeps getting better and better!!

We’re thrilled to return to the beautiful Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando! Located just minutes from the Walt Disney World® Resort and many other Orlando attractions, the Caribe offers beautifully appointed guest suites and villas with unbeatable amenities. And, their spacious convention center has loads of room for around-the-clock gaming.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

HOTEL RESERVATIONS

To book your hotel room, select "Hotel Reservations" under the Attend drop-down tab above to access our booking link. Or, you can call the hotel directly at 407-238-8000 or toll-free at 800-823-8300. Be sure to mention that you are with Dice Tower East to receive our group rate and have your room allocated to our block. Information about our room rates and policies is in the "Hotel Information" under the Attend drop-down tab above. Our hotel block at the Caribe closes on June 12, 2024. Rooms may still be available after that date, but we cannot guarantee that our negotiated room rates will be.

IMPORTANT — We really appreciate everyone booking hotel rooms through the Caribe's booking link! This helps us meet our contracted room block commitment with the hotel, which, in turn, helps us with the rate for our convention space and our staff rooms. If we don’t have people stay at the hotel, we simply can’t get the space. We also encourage you to avoid booking through third-party vendors, for as tempting as their offer may appear, it usually comes with many strings and added fees attached. We appreciate everyone supporting Dice Tower East by staying at the Caribe and if you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail us at dte@dicetower.com.
