    I actually did some expedia searches only to find that over half the hotels in the area have no rooms available for next year. They only allow a certain number of available rooms for expedia. It doesn't mean they're sold out it just means they only have a few left and aren't offering expedia the option to list them. I guess that shows that demand is high and why the price increase.
    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

      sometimes if you call into the hotel instead of booking online, you can ask for better deals and they will give them to you. they have discounts they can give

      not sure if this is the case when events are being held during that weekend though.

        If the hotels in that area are all booked up now, then we have to move the show
        elsewhere - preferably somewhere with an airport.

        The only benefit from the Toy and Train Museum is that they let us have the
        space for free. Not much good if we can't get a place to sleep.

        I say we make next year's meet at Art Baltazar's comic shop in Skokie IL.
        We can fly into Midway or O'Hare or drive in from several states.

          Mmmm, now that would change my trip from an 8 hr drive to a little over 2hrs.

            We started discussing some of these issues before our tires were even cool. Wheeling has a very low ceiling and at some point it's likely that we'll try something else. 2013 may be pushing it; 2014 is probably more realistic.....especially if we move it to Toronto. Passports are a PIA and I think it's fair to allow people plenty of time to get their papers in order.

              I think Chicago is a great idea. There are lots of non-stop flights from the West Coast to O'Hare so we may get a different mix of members. Toronto would be good also, but a bit more logistics.

                I dunno about Toronto. I have a passport...not sure if they expire or whatnot. I'd definitely have to fly and might be out of my budget range.

                  Breakfast at that Super 8 is almost non-existant. You're better off goin to McDonalds for Breakfast. I never checked out Hoss's for breakfast tho.

                  From what I'm reading there's no loss of interest in attending Mego Meet but it seems the hotels and restaurants just can't keep up with us.

                    I'm pretty sure Toronto is out for me. I'm all for keeping it in Wheeling if we can find another hotel. The free ride at Kruegers will be hard to beat somewhere else.

                      GEEZ - WE'RE NOT MOVING TO TORONTO. My planning skillz may not be mad, but they're at least grumpy enough to keep it in the U.S.

                            The Hampton Inn has a swimming pool. Not that I want to see any of you in a bathing suit.
