Hey im a planner and earlier you plan more options that youve got.

Last week of march like usual?

i wouldnt be able to arrive until thursday of WMC week,so a wednesday night flight arriving thursday morning would work. that still leaves thur,fri,sat.

Of those of you that have gone to wmc, have you done the whole week or have you done something similar where you arrive midweek?

Also since it is mainly a south beach thing, what are some affordable hotels you would you recommend staying at? obviously just need a place to keep my things and sleep.

I have my spring break right after WMC so i'd probably stick around in miami for a few days after WMC to explore the city, catch a heat game etc.

If I go next year, I'm arriving on Tuesday morning. I missed all the good WMC Kick off parties.

it always depends when my spring break is. last year it was the whole week of WMC so i got in tuesday night and stayed until monday. the year before i liked better b/c my spring was like your's omar, the week after. i took that thursday off from work, we already had friday then i stayed in miami until wednesday the next week to recover and hang out with my cousin.

gotta check when my spring break is but i did 6 days and that was almost too much for me, i like getting there wed/thur but always, ALWAYS stay until monday, don't try to leave sunday. i made that mistake only once! had to leave a club after a crazy 3 days and go to the airport, no bueno!

is this your first?

You can go for a few days, but it just won't be the same as a week in Miami. I've done both.

Good luck on finding the right hotel that works for you

yay, i love virgins
trust me there will be tons of info out there and TA's will help you with questions you have. the florida boards start around december/january with the WMC sub thread with tons of useful info in there and lots of fun back and forths and party listings, what you need, places to eat, places to stay, etc.

miami is my true hometown, was born there and lived there until i was 6 then moved to and grew up in Georgia. love the south and especially south beach
and yes i know, florida really isn't considered the "south"

My first year I took the Tuesday night red-eye and came back Sunday, last time I left Tuesday night red-eye and came back Monday.

You can save a lil bit of money flying into FLL vs. MIA. You can probably get a dirt cheap flight leaving Long Beach to Ft. Lauderdale with Jet Blue.

Lodging: I've learned most South Beach hotels (except the 5 star ones) are pretty roachy. I'd look into places farther north in Miami Beach or in Downtown MIA. You may also want to look into vacation condo rentals. (I hear DT Miami condos are way over built...mostly vacant)

Looking forward to it! I hope I never miss a WMC while I'm alive!
