Do we have to pay an initial fee to get into the park area that the hotel is in? Or do we just get access to the hotel area by buying the room?

Gunna try to figure out the costs:
(these are all estimates)
flight: ----------------------------------------$1000.00
room: (15x7=)------------------------------$105.00
sustenance: ---------------------------------$150.00
footbags/shirts/other: ---------------------$125.00
Total: -----------------------------------------$1380.00
Rounded up: --------------------------------$1500.00

$1500.00 in roughly 9 months (more like 8, for me actually):
hell! that's only about $185.00 per month that needs to be put away.

NO EXCUSES!! I'M SO STOKED!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I did the exact same thing when I heard about worlds, Ben. Except that plane tickets will be MUCH cheaper. Check out www.Expedia.com ... I am sure you can find a round trip for less than $400.


edit: Tickets will be even cheaper if you cross the border before flying. I just checked Expedia and Rochester=$212 while Toronto=$398. That's round trip for both, and both are on the same date.

ah im so excited for this!!!!

I was in disney world last year for school at the exact same hotel and everything! theres great shred spots everywhere there that i found and alotta people.

I also reccommend going to universal studios while your down there, heck, ill go with ya! that place has some amazing rolloer coasters.

and checking out kennedy space center is a MUST. that place is amazing.

now to start saving up =P
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

im really hoping to be able to make this trip, too. if we go, brian will be turning 21 while we are down there. we have to look into package deals a little more and decide if we want to drive there or fly there. driving would be about 13 hours and we could take 2 other people with us (thatd help for gas money)... but it depends on how much money we can save before then. this event being in the states is probably the only chance i would ever be able to make it to worlds... so ill be super pissed if i cant make it.

this is huge...

anyone around tennessee thatd like to meet up and ride with us to florida?

Plane ticket for me from LAX is $350 right now.. but it will probably be $500 at least by the time I have the money to spend. Don't know if I'm going to make it. :(

I know this might be on a lot of peoples minds.

So right to the punch, Will we be able to drink alchoholic beverages here? and knowing footbaggers there will be a lot of smoking and drinking, will this be a problem of any kind?

Oh sweet fuck, YES!

This is awesome. New Orleans to Orlando, so easy! I'm so psyched that I get to go again this year, Frankfort was so awesome! And this year at Worlds I get to shred with Alice from Wonderland, 7 Dwarves, Buzz Lightyear, a talking llama, evil stepmothers, a mermaid, and MICKEY!!!!!

That sounds like some crazy fantasy dream..... "a dream is a wish your heart makes..."


This is going to be insane. I'm going to practice...
Peace!!
