Lodging/Extended Stays


Once you have registered and paid in full, you are welcome to call Loews Royal Pacific Resort directly and book your stay, using the code: Family Forward 2016.

Loews is extending a discounted rate for extended stays to Family Forward guests, which is good 3 days before and 3 days after the retreat. The rate is $179 plus taxes and fees. This rate is also good for additional rooms booked during the event.

Attendees who want to stay in a room type other than what comes standard with this package will have the option to upgrade at their own cost for a discounted rate and subject to availability. Only those who stay at the event hotel before or after the event will be able to take advantage of Universal's Express Passes (no exceptions).

Additional Details


Registration passes must be paid through Eventbrite. Once your payment has cleared, you will get a receipt confirming your registration.

Registration passes are non-refundable, but they are transferable. If you find that you can no longer attend the retreat after the point of purchase, please contact us and we'll try and help you transfer your ticket. While ticket transfers are your responsibility, all pass transfers must go through and be approved by Family Forward. Transfers require a $200 transfer fee.
