What about kids?? Are kids free? I didn't see anything about it on the site.

BigAl07 · 12-29-2007, 11:03 PM

Just bought our MACNA XX tickets before the cut-off. I guess there's NO backing out now

Who's bring Me frags to the meet

MACNAXX · 12-30-2007, 05:54 AM

How old are the kids? Kids under 10 (and maybe even older - I have to check) are free unless they go to the banquet. We have babysitting at our cost at the hotel during the banquet.

Frankie · 12-30-2007, 09:42 AM

9 year old. Cool thanks for answering my question.

BigAl07 · 01-05-2008, 01:38 PM

How far is the "Westin Hotel" that we're staying in from the actual Aquarium itself?

MACNAXX · 01-05-2008, 01:41 PM

An 8 minute walk (timed it myself).

The rooms are almost sold out. We are going to have to use our overflow hotels which are next door to the Westin.

Octoman · 01-05-2008, 02:08 PM

I stayed at the Omni hotel last year. Not far from the Westin and they have "splash" packages that include tickets to the GA Aquarium.

Does the banquet ticket include a chance to tour the aquarium?

MACNAXX · 01-05-2008, 02:11 PM

Stay tuned.....

You will be pleasantly surprized.

We looked at the Omni, and it is a nice hotel but the Westin gave us a much better bargain.

nasek718 · 01-05-2008, 02:17 PM

I was up in arms about the whole Atlanta thing but the Aquarium sold me. I think I'll call my sister and tell her I'm going to be crashing in her spare room.

BigAl07 · 01-06-2008, 09:15 PM

So in addition to the room & the actual tickets is there anything else we NEED to buy? I mean with the " Full Registration" what else is there that's needed?

Also when I booked the room I made it clear it was my wife and I but the reservations say "1 Adult" so is that just a terminology thing or do I have to pay more for her to sleep in the room? I DO travel but work makes my reservations

MACNAXX · 01-07-2008, 06:21 AM

The room is $119 a night regardless of if your wife is there with you.

The only other expenses are the raffle tickets, meals other than the banquet, and any sightseeing or drinking that you do.
