Did You Know?

  • *The mascot, Pounce, is a panther standing in for the endangered big cat native to the state
  • *Ran under the Pawpet name for its first two years and dropped that prefix in 2004
  • *Traces its lineage to Furry Spring Break (2001), an offshoot of the long-running Pawpet Show variety troupe that birthed the original brand

Megaplex (MPLX) 2027

Megaplex (MPLX) 2027 is scheduled for Aug 20-22, 2027 in Orlando, United States.

Megaplex 2027: August 20-22

Megaplex lists August 20-22, 2027 on its Future Conventions page. The 2027 theme, guests and prices are still to be announced. The 2026 edition brought 12,542 attendees to the Hyatt Regency Orlando.

What Are the Highlights of Megaplex?

  • 12,542 attendees in 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
  • Hyatt Regency Orlando on International Drive is a resort-style convention venue, with the pool deck open to hotel guests only in 2026.
  • $100,000 raised for charity over the 2026 weekend, for the Florida Wildlife Federation.
  • Orlando location puts the major theme parks within a short drive, which suits a longer trip.

How Do I Get to Megaplex?

Orlando is one of the most-visited cities in the U.S. with strong flight connections:

  • Flying: Orlando International Airport (MCO) has domestic and international flights. Check the 2027 venue before choosing ground transport.
  • Shuttle & Rideshare: Orlando has hotel shuttles and rideshare services, but the 2027 destination has not been confirmed.
  • Driving: Plan the final route after Megaplex names its 2027 venue.

Where Should I Stay for Megaplex?

In 2026 the pool was wristband-only, and only hotel guests got a wristband. The Hyatt's own "Know Before You Prowl" notice, which Megaplex passed on to attendees on 17 August 2026, stated that registered hotel guests received a wristband at check-in, that wristbands were required for pool access, and that "guests without a wristband will not be permitted in the pool area". Megaplex has not confirmed the 2027 venue or pool policy.

  • Hyatt Regency Orlando: The 2026 convention hotel on International Drive. In 2026, staying on-site kept the convention space and late-night programming under one roof and was the only way to reach the pool deck. In 2026 the hotel took a $70 per night incidental hold on the card at check-in, typically released within a few days of checkout but up to 7-10 business days on a debit card.
  • International Drive: The I-Drive corridor has hundreds of hotels at all price points, many within walking distance, and the I-Ride Trolley serves the strip. The 2026 trade-off was the pool: an off-site room was cheaper and cost you the pool deck and its DJ sets.
  • 2026 hotel rules: the Hyatt was entirely non-smoking and non-vaping indoors, with designated outdoor areas; outside food, drink, coolers and glass are barred from the pool area and bag checks are conducted; and social gatherings and room parties are permitted only on designated party floors.

Notes on Megaplex

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.

  • FLUFF Inc., the 501(c)(3) behind Megaplex

    Megaplex is run by Florida United Furry Fandom, Inc. ("FLUFF Inc."), a 501(c)(3) public charity registered in Florida. Every board member and executive volunteers their time; the organization names its full board, exec team, and staff leads publicly on the site.

  • Hyatt Regency Orlando and the five-overflow strategy

    Megaplex is held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando at 9801 International Drive, with the convention occupying the hotel's two-tower atrium complex on Orlando's main tourism corridor. The room block opens via Hyatt code G-MEG6 with the resort fee waived.

  • The Box Brigade and the off-season Megaplex picnic

    Two pieces of MPLX culture sit outside the standard panel-grid. The Box Brigade is an opt-in fundraising shift where fursuiters carry official Megaplex donation boxes around the convention space, where a suit draws far more spare change into the charity total than a plain collection tin does, attendees sign up at the info desk by Registration.
