Early Bird Registration -  ends Today!
EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION CLOSES TONIGHT!
YOU MUST SUBMIT A REGISTRATION FORM TODAY!

After tonight, the availability of the lower registration rates will disappear.  However, as long as you can fill out and submit a registration form today, we can secure the lower rates.   A deposit will need to be made in the next few days.  

Tomorrow, October 1, we are required to post the 2016 rates for the hotels and attractions and must adjust our convention registration packages.

NOTE:  
If you have registered on line and have not had a response from Taunya, please notify her right away... 1-800-432-4202 or taunya@bransonticket.com
 
Everyone registering is contacted within 24 to 48 hours with all details and to make their first deposit.  If you were not contacted, you need to call Taunya direct, today!   (800) 432-4202.

If you submit a registration form today, Taunya will follow up with you in the next two days and in the next week you will need to make your $500 deposit to hold the old rates. And if you don't need a hotel room, the deposit is even less! The balance is due months from now, in Early Spring.

Two years ago we began negotiating with the hotels, attractions and venues for blocks of rooms or seats and special rates. Basically we got agreements for the rates they were charging in 2014.  They gave us what we wanted, but with the provision that we do our bookings early, and make deposits to cover the registrations. 

They also added that after September 30, 2015, they would need to adjust the rates to cover their 2016 costs.  Unfortunately they can't keep the room blocks on hold forever, nor hold seats at shows and attractions without some sort of reservation or guarantee.  

So, on October 1, our registration packages will be updated to reflect the new rates they will be charged for everything.  So, if you are thinking of going to DS2016, register today.  And should you later find you need to cancel, don't worry we will get you your refund.

FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE IS NOW SET-UP

We now have a special FACEBOOK Page where convention attendees can send messages, chat and discuss the convention.

The Group page is:   DS2106 Convention

Looking to Share a ride, a room, or maybe you want to discuss suggestions on workshops, or  ask others what they are wearing?   This is your group page and where you can discuss anything regarding the convention or even your experience at the last convention. 

Santas Steve Eastis and John Chilsom will be helping me Administer the Group.

NOTE:  This is not a group page to discuss politics, your personal business, or your plans for the coming holiday season. It is just to discussing the convention and any convention related subjects.  You can also post photos of what you plan to wear, what you are driving or bringing with you, and if you attended the 2006 Convention, we have an album where you can post some of your old convention photos.
