Kristin!!! DisneyWorld will be there forever! AGD only turns 100 once.
I have an idea--bring your daughter along. We'll all dress up like buckaneers and try to convince her that she's on Pirates of the Carribean.
I would also be interested in a room for 4 if it would save money.

Sarah, thanks for finding that out. I am also sitting the fence between going or not. I have to decide if I can afford to do it all. If I want to go to grad school I will need to get my butt in gear paying GC off (I still own them a little bit). Also Jeremy wants to go to the beach sometime and I have school loans coming due. That thousand dollars could be useful elsewhere... but I so want to go. If it wasn't the 100 I would be able to miss it, but how cool would it be to go to your first convention on the 100th celebration!
I need to win the lottery and I would either take everyone on my tab or I would help those like me! Oh well...

like everyone else, thanks for that info sarah!
i'm definitely unsure what i'm going to do as well. i keep thinking, convention or covering almost one months rent! it's hard. especially since i've been planning on buying a condo in boston right around that time, and that will definitely not be easy for me. i'm struggling thinking about downpayments, mortgages, etc. winning the lottery definitely sounds like a nice option!

I don't know if this helps but there is 190 days 'til Convention. I think someone said a 4-person room would run $719in total registration costs, so if one saved $3.78 each day up til Convention, you'd have $719! Or if you're thinking it'll cost you around $1,000, then save $5.26/day and that will get you there!
If there's any way you can afford it....go! The next big one won't be until 2029 and who knows where we'll all be in our lives (think paying for college/weddings for your children, etc.).

It's ok with IHQ to put 4 people in a room? For some reason I didn't think it was (although I think that if the people staying in the room are ok with it and it saves money, we should be able to). $719 sounds a whole lot better than $895, so if it is ok with IHQ, I think that's what my crew is going to do. Plus, we're probably driving, which will save even more money, even though it's a 12 hour trip...good thing we're sisters and we get along! 
I can't wait!!! 
ETA: Is the $719 with or without the $50 early registration discount?

I don't know, I emailed IHQ with the name provided in the packet and she is the one that gave me the $719 figure.

The $719 doesn't include the four night hotel stay, does it....I'm coming, but it'll cost me an arm and a leg

Correct me if I'm wrong, fellow Alpha Gam GC'ers, but the $719 includes everything (hotel, registration, meals) but airfare.

Susan, you are correct. The convention package covers everything except airfare and your breakfasts (which can usually be gotten on the cheap anyway!).

Maria, you had the 100th reply to this thread!
Even if I have to CHARGE everything onto my CC, buy a plane ticket to California and DRIVE the whole way to Chicago (while picking up AGDs along the way...) nothing, and I mean NOTHING is going to stop me from the Centennial!
BTW, breakfasts (when I bothered to wake up in time, anyway) in Atlanta consisted of Grits for me. LOL. My concern at this point is whether or not I'll have enough $$$ to shopping and Chicago nightlife-ing.

If you're a geek, then we all are! I don't think anyone here is not excited for July.
