Elaine,
I think you misinterpreted my comment. I am not blaming the convention for the price of fuel, or the hotel, or food or other costs outside the control of the convention organizers. However, when all these items are added together plus the entry fee, for maybe a day and a half of convention activity (I must leave early Sunday to return to work), missing the majority of the events mentioned, it is not bargain. Not to mention, my convention badge does not grant me entry to most of the outside events, those are additional.
As far as Disney goes, been there, done that, won’t comment on experience. Orange Blossom is on my bucket list, but not real high. I think I will wait and see how the alleged expansion of trackage/trakcage rights play out.
Quote “The hobby itself is pricing us out of it, not one convention cost.” So your answer is to throw fuel on the fire.
