There is a hotel shuttle that is $18.00 one way and $31.00 for a round trip. Does this shuttle require reservations, or do you just grab one when you get there? Also... anyone coming in on Tuesday? Oh my gosh I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuellar Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 UberX should be about $25 (+/- 5). Lacy - I get in Tuesday @ 1:45 PM, probably not checking luggage. Happy to have anyone around jump in my cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Omigoodness - I didn't think it was going to happen this year, but I just bought memberships, and booked flights! (Lany, Baita, Zabs, Xray, etc. - am I actually going to be able to meet you in person?! So exciting. (Mr. Sand Witch will be joining me for the fun & games even.) One thing - all the con hotels are completely booked up. To be safe, I made reservations at a hotel outside of the area, and am checking the site daily in case there are changes - but if anyone hears of any cancellations or room availability at the con rates, please keep me in mind.

Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 OK, so I played lotto get lucky with the passkey reservation system and did in fact get a hotel reservation at the con rate! I think I might keep playing just in case the Marriott or the Crowne come up - but I feel like the luckiest girl in girl town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAx Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If you are flying into Kansas City, take note that the convention has arranged a discount on round-trip SuperShuttle transit between the airport and downtown. You must purchase in advance. Full details here: http://groups.supershuttle.com/midamericonii.html UPDATE: The discounted r/t fare in their regular 10-passenger van is $30. However, if you are travelling with one or two friends, there's an even better deal. SuperShuttle also has an "Exclusive Van" option, for 1-3 passengers who are traveling together. This gives you a private van -- no extra stops to pick up or discharge other riders, either at other airport terminals or other hotels. Round-trip, with the MidAmericon discount, is $73, regardless of the number of passengers. It's a little more expensive for two people, but saves time on the trip in both directions. For groups of three, it's a definite bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but not by a lot if you are traveling with 3 people. Taxi from the airport to the con hotels will run $50 - $60 dollars each way. So the shuttle would be a bargain for a person traveling alone but if you've got 3 people you might save $3 to $10 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiled leather Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 for those that haven't seen it.... and there may be no info here too ... maybe getting a large dinner space in KC is actually much harder than Spokane (I guess we got lucky there). We've got a large room at what I'm told is the a favorite of many boarders (and I'm spacing on board names). That's sunday night. Post here, hit the fb group PM me or Daenerys stormborn. yeah, she has a better name. The room holds 50 and I'll need to have some numbers to the restaurant next week (but in my mind all are welcome till we hit 49). I'm mean if POD can commit, so can you. and let's be honest, if this place is as good as its rep, i'm going more than once. We are working on Wednesday night dinner ... not quite nailed down.looking like it might be a pub take over, they are working with us. if you'll be in town tuesday, i've set up a dinner for 20 -- hopefully it will be as memorable as last years first dinner. you know, the one that encouraged blackfyre to shave off his beard. And HUGE ups and much love to Daenerys Stormborn who is doing most of the heavy lifting here. can't wait to see you all in few weeks. Even POD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
