I'm confused, the room rate includes breakfast and dinner but the registration fee will also include a banquet dinner? Will there be a lower cost option just for the room at Tapoco with no meals included?

Great question Dave...and one that I had literally just sent after creating this post over to Sheila to see if we could make some adjustments. So yes, Tapoco's rate includes Breakfast _AND_ Dinner each day. The dinner is considered 5 star, so it's supposed to be "good eatin'!" The rates start at $199 and include up to 2 people. Extra folks are $89 per night. It is more expensive than Fontana...but you have to consider the meals and the upgraded accommodations, closeness to the Dragon, etc.
What I'm thinking is for folks staying at Tapoco, they'll pay the rate and have meals (except lunch) included and we'll still organize a Saturday banquet but only for those staying at Tapoco. We can try to organize an after-banquet social allowing everyone to participate and enjoy the festivities.
Bear in mind that ONLY cabins are left for Fontana (they have a big event taking all of the lodge rooms, etc) so the cost is in-line somewhat with Tapoco and don't forget the meals portion of the value.
Ok, so all that said...we'll keep you posted on making a change where registration ONLY covers your event lanyard and name tag. If you want to eat dinner on Saturday night at Tapoco, you have to stay there...and that shouldn't be a big deal at all...that would also allow us to open the event to more cars/people but still limit it to say 75~80 which is pretty much in-line with past DBRs.

Oh...and I forgot to mention that the rate WOULD be adjusted for those on Saturday night given that your registration was covering the meal...Tapoco was going to credit the meal portion for that night only...but let's see if we can come to terms with a new plan and we'll keep you posted.

Good question. YES the Saturday night room rate will be reduced per person as the event registration will cover the banquet Saturday night. That way, if folks choose to stay elsewhere, we are all still together for dinner and fun on Sat night.
