I wasn't sure which section to post this in....

If I have 4 kids, do I have to choose 2 of them to go on the trip or can I pay for the other 2? Is that allowed?
 
In the past, there has always been a child buy-in option. My director has 5 kids, and she did this last time the trip was Disney. Ummm, except is was only 4 kids then, #5 went for free inside mom!
 
They usually have a buy-in for additional children. The details have not been announced yet. I will need to buy-in one myself.

okay, thanks! :)
 
Does it have to be 2 adults and 2 kids? Can it be 4 adults? I have 8 grandchildren .... how do I pick 2? CAn't take all 8!!!!! Would love to take my
sister and BIL.
 
It's usually any 4 people. I'm waiting to see if they announce any cash back options for consultants who only use 2 of the 4 spots.

Except of course other consultants, right?
 
Right.I did receive a note yesterday that originated from Chris Manion that stated that there will be gift card options for levels 2-4, for people who cannot or will not travel. That info will be included when the official rules are posted on CC and sent out to everyone (I'm guessing with the calendars that we usually get around Thanksgiving).
 
I also will have to buy in another child, as I have three. :)

I'm just twisted enough to hold a "favorite child" tournament, with the loser having to stay home. :) It could be a way to have all sorts of chores done around the house next year - give each child points for positive activities and the 2 with the most points get to go on the trip.

This is why I don't have kids - they'd end up warped.
