- $70 per person if paid by January 1st
- $80 per person if paid January 2nd - April 15th
- $90 per person if paid by April 16th - May 15th
- $100 per person if paid May 16th – June 1st
- Registration closes June 1st (no exceptions)

- Registration Fee Schedule (without dinner):
- $30 per person if paid by January 1st
- $40 per person if paid January 2nd - April 15th
- $50 per person if paid April 16th – June 1st
- Registration closes June 1st (no exceptions)

I think before (in the planning stages) it was recommended to have a carrier or stroller for the doggies too for the shopping. But I am not certain.

I know those flying in will not have room for a stroller and will already have a carrier, so that will work out.

I believe that airlines do allow you to carry a stroller in addition to the standard handcarry luggage requirements . . unless of course that is only applicable to skinbabies

I will check the airline to make sure I can bring one . . .

What time is check-out at the hotel. Just checked flights using mileage and my choices are either 6:50am

, 10:00am

4:00pm (but the layover in Minniapolis is too long) or 6:05PM. I am leaning towards the 6:05 flight . . .I can hit the shopping malls on sunday if there is noone to hang out with.

I looked at there website and it says 11 am...

I'll tell you what. They are going to make a Killing on all us with just the pet fee alone.
even if 4 people stay in a room with 4-8 dogs It will cost 350.00 bucks for 8 dogs WOW

I know I wont be able to bring all mine

I just budgeted for this trip (I'm obsessed with lists, excel spreadsheets, and anything to do with organization!) and it's going to be WELL over $1000 for me to get down there, hotels, and just the bare minimum!! That really puts a damper on my hopes for making it...I have a monthly car payment and have to pay my own tuition...and I'm only making minimum wage at a job that only gives me around 8 hours a week.

I hope this doesn't stop me from coming...I am really really looking forward to it. I actually asked for a stoller for Beau for Christmas just so it will be easier to go shopping and everything...

The plaza in KC is a great place to walk around, shop, dine, or lounge. There is an art museum with an enormous lawn where people hang out in the afternoon. You will be able to find things to do if you need to kill some time!

I was thinking the same thing earlier...they really are going to make a ton of money just off the pet fees. There will be more yorkies there than people!

You should look for someone to share a room with. I'm sharing with two other people so that cuts the hotel cost in half. We're also carpooling and splitting gas money.

Lisa - I was just checking flights on Travelocity and can get a direct flight from Ft Myers to Kansas City on Midwest Airlines. Would there be a problem if I also booked my hotel room through this site?

BTW - just wondering if anyone was staying an extra day and leaving Monday. I'm kinda thinking about it so I can go shopping in the city.

Thanks!

Patricia

The pet fees won't be quite that much as it is a one time fee for the booked stay - not a fee per night. This will help lots of us out!!!!!!
