Exclamation Make sure you buy hotel packages

No matter where you stay make sure you are buying the team packages offered by the Meeting Company.

If you don't your team will not be able to attend the Friday and Saturday Night activities at Six Flags (i.e. Team Social and BBQ). The only exceptions I'm aware of is if your team is from the Greater Houston Area you'll be able to purchase tickets seperately.

My understanding is also that FIRST is going to tow the line on this one - so you don't want risk not buying the "package" unless you're willing to have your team miss the Six Flag activities.

You have to admit that the prices of this years packages are less than last years at WDW.

We're currently staying at the Comfort Suites, though that may change. We originally set it up on our own, but now we're working to get into the package deal so we can go to the special events.

Yeah, we're still out on this one. Buying the package would be an extra couple hundred for each of our team members to pay, and we're not yet sure whether everyone is willing to do that. I'm willing... but if my teammates aren't, it's no big deal. Any other teams in a similar situation?


By the way... thanks, Cory.

She didn't say the exact same ameneties. When you are really short on cash, you save money by cutting out ameneties.

I don't know the exact situation, but you can't always compare apples to apples in real life.

Just out of curiousity, where exactly did you find this information (that you will not be able to purchase team party tickets without a FIRST hotel package)? Do you have a link somewhere?

<edit> I already found it. Nevermind. </edit>

Team 330 (Beach Bot) is staying at the Fairfield Inn - Houston Galleria! Is anybody else staying there? It looks pretty cool because there is a mall with an indoor ice skating rink pretty close by!!! We didn't have enough money for the packages but that will be ok. See you there!

We're staying at one of the Houston Omni Hotels. There are two of them so I don't exactly know which one we are staying at yet.

I think that is near the galleria as well.
