Exactly what he ^^^ said, AV.

My reservation is made for those dates and I was told that even while we can't guarantee a group of 9 or more rooms, they will try to give us rooms near each other if requested when making your reservation. For whatever reason, we have learned that trying to get 'clustered' under a group name seems not to work well for any of them. I spoke with a "Rose" actually in Holland (not a reservation center) that recommended requesting a location near a person is easier for them. She also recommended that due to July being the height of vacation season, reservation should be made by May 1st, especially if we want to get grouped near by.
You can PM me or any of the other Pixies with any detail questions.
