WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU PURCHASE THIS MEAL PLAN BECAUSE:

• There is limited break time for meals.
• There are few restaurants in the immediate area.
• You will be eating in a semi-private dining room just steps away from the Vendor Marketplace.
• You will be eating with fellow event participants only. (No "vanilla" walk-ins)
• Our Guests taking this Meal Plan will be given priority service
• The Hotel has promised to get us in an out of the dining room within our time restraints.
• The food is great.
• The service is wonderful.
• The price is reasonable and less expensive than the hotel restaurant.
• Spending your money in the Host Hotel (as opposed to leaving the building) allows them to keep the prices for this event low and makes us a valued customer to them, wanting us to return in the future.
