Megaplex has not announced its 2027 dates, theme, guests or prices. Its last post about the convention is the 2026 result on August 24, and its website has not yet moved on from the 2026 edition, which brought 12,542 attendees to the Hyatt Regency Orlando.

From attendees
Orlando is one of the most-visited cities in the U.S. with strong flight connections:
Curated stays near Hyatt Regency Orlando, Orlando, United States.
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 programmes poolside DJ sets, so if the hotel repeats the rule in 2027, staying off-site means missing that stage as well as the swim. Nothing has been announced for 2027 yet.

The 2026 edition concluded on 23 August 2026, so these are historical 2026 rates and every tier is marked sold out. The former day-pass and upgrade rules are retained here only as edition history. Megaplex is 18+ with no minors admitted, and a government photo ID is required to collect a badge.
Megaplex 2026 ran August 21-23 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando under the theme "Furries, Uh, Find A Way". The official post-con result reported 12,542 attendees and $100,000 raised for the Florida Wildlife Federation. PalaeoGames served as guests of honor.
Megaplex 2025 broke the 10,000-attendee barrier for the first time, reaching 10,038. The event raised a record $90,600 for Greater Orlando Pet Alliance.
Megaplex 2024 drew 7,202 attendees to the Hyatt Regency Orlando and raised $81,000 for the Street Dog Coalition. The 39% jump in headcount over 2023 set up the following year's push past 10,000.

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.
