Buy those "Hotel Packages"

Now, I do realize that the cost of the party (food, opening the park for FIRST, etc.) is covered in some of that $4,000 ... but it still seems a little much. What do you think?

Katie, I feel your pain - the cost difference for our team is in excess of $6000.00. You have to realize that these additional fees cover alot of different things: Food Tickets, Two Day Tickets to Six Flags - one night exclusively for FIRST - there are TWO special events, one Friday Night, and another BBQ on Saturday night, transportation to and from hotels, commitments to Hotels to hold rooms, administration and service fees, plus allowing teams to do one stop shopping for all their travel needs. And for some teams that's priceless.....

Even with the additional costs I'd be willing to bet a box of Crispy Creams that it is less expensive this year, than what you paid for the packages last year at WDW.
