Nice, I hope that they will offer that discount. I agree that we need to book within the next few weeks, but before we do we need to get a definite head count and decide what days/nights different people are staying and whether we will double up for rooms or more than double?

Tentatively I am planning to spend Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night at the hotel in Seattle. And I would like to double up to save on the cost which would equal about 70-80$ per person per night roughly.

Also based on my calculations I will save about $400 by getting an airplane ticket instead of driving up...so I'll see what happens.

But anyway this sounds like an awesome adventure! It is well worth checking out the website for the museum. There is all sorts of other interesting exhibits worth checking out as well, like some cool sci-fi costumes...


and of course the best one:
