jdripley 11 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 So Reapercon is May 19th-22nd. I may actually be able to make it this year! Woohoo! BUT! As I am a con-noob, I could use some advice as far as the planning goes. How early should I book a hotel and etc? I have heard that college graduations tend to mean hotels fill up, is that true? What bits of information did you wish you knew the first time you traveled for a con? My wife is vaguely interested in taking the trip, but she's not a gamer and is not interested in day after day of a convention. I heard something about on-site things for spouses to do - classes or events or something like that. Is there any substance to those ideas? What is there to do in the area? Those are all of the questions I can think of right now, but I'm sure there will be more to follow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inarah 42496 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 In the Reapercon forum there is a pinned list (right at the top of the page) of things to see and do in the DFW area. Denton, despite its population is still something of a small town, so you'll need to drive a bit to get to the Attractions. Here is a thread from this past Reapercon that will answer a lot of your questions about what is available on site: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39486-first-timer-to-reapercon/ Hotels north of the Reaper facility (in Denton, closer to the universities) will probably get booked up but it should not be impossible to get a room 30-45 days out. Hotels south of Reaper (in Lewisville or Flower Mound) are more likely to have rooms at the last minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
