Orlando Distaff Day is on January 10 and 11, 2025.
The Registration form is on this page, below the descriptions of the items. Click here to scroll down directly to the form! On the registration form, you can purchase registration with or without meals, table sponsorship, raffle tickets, and merchandise. You may also choose to give an additional donation to Orlando Distaff Day, Inc.
Raffle Tickets, Merchandise, and Table Sponsorship can only be purchased with purchase of Admission. If you purchase Admission without any add ons, and would like to add them later, you will be able to access your registration from a link in your confirmation email.
Registration Options
Earlier this year, we announced that admission this year would be Pay What You Can, with a minimum of $5. Our registration software does not have a way to implement a true sliding scale, where you can enter a dollar value. What we were able to do is offer 4 price points for Admission – $5, $10, $15, or $20. All price points receive the same access and benefits. We ask that you pay the highest amount that your budget permits. If you would like to pay more than $20, choose the $20 option and enter any additional amount in the Donation field.
Like last year, you can choose Admission Alone, and plan to get food either onsite (Starbucks, Pizza Hut Express, and the hotel restaurant/bar) or offsite restaurants (many, many options on Hwy 192). You can also choose to purchase meals with your registration.
This year, we have two meal options: Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. Both are buffets. Friday dinner includes Creamy Garlic Chicken, Grilled Marinated Tofu, Roasted Seasonal Vegetables, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, dessert, rolls, lemonade, water, and coffee. Saturday lunch includes Tomato Basil Soup, Green Salad, Build Your Own Sandwich, Assorted Chips, Cookies, lemonade, and water. You have the option of purchasing only one of the meals or both of them.
When you register, you will choose a ticket option, and then a price point for that ticket. The four prices for each package are the cost of the meal(s) plus the Admission rate you are choosing.

Raffle Tickets
- Three drawings will be held. Two are for yarn, one of these includes tools for knitting and the other includes tools for crochet. The third is for spinning fiber.
- Tickets are $1 each or $5 for six tickets.
- You will receive your raffle tickets when you check in to the event onsite. If you fail to check in, your raffle entries are forfeit and your purchase is treated as a donation to Orlando Distaff Day, Inc. There are no refunds for raffle tickets.
- You will be able to choose which of the raffle basket drawings you enter. Each basket will have a separate bag or box in which to place tickets for that drawing. Tickets must be separated and if you will not be present for the drawing, you must write your name and phone number on the back of each ticket. You can only put the tickets into the bags onsite, and this is the only way to enter your tickets into the drawing. You cannot designate which drawing to enter at the time of purchase. Orlando Distaff day volunteers are not able to put your entries in for you.
- Raffle tickets will be available for sale on site, up until the time of the drawing.
- No purchase or contribution is necessary. Attendees can complete a form for one free raffle ticket. This offer is limited to one entry per attendee, and must be done on site.
- The drawings will be held at approximately 4:30 pm on Saturday, January 11, 2025.
- You do not need to present at the time of the drawing in order to win. Orlando Distaff Day will arrange with you to pick up the raffle basket or will ship it to you. Raffle prizes will only be shipped within the Continental United States.
- This drawing is conducted by Orlando Distaff Day, Inc. whose principal place of business is 111 Holderness Drive, Longwood, FL, 32779.
- Orlando Distaff Day, Inc. did not purchase any of the raffle items. The contents were received as in-kind donations from several donors.
- In order to legally hold a raffle, a nonprofit organization must comply with Florida Statutes 496, which requires all organizations or individuals who solicit donations to register prior to doing so. Orlando Distaff Day, Inc.’s registration number is CH60327.
