Obviously not first but I am all in! Thanks guys for putting everything together for the DO. The registration was excellent, so easy.
The only things I need to add are flts and hotel. Will look at the flts now, then take care of the hotel when things work out for the rates Wed-Sun.
Special thanks for tying in the registration date to the new DL BounceBack promo which began Thur.... Double SM if you use the Delta AmEx card.
You might want to remind attendees about the special phone number to book flts. This helps everyone in the end.

We would only be there on Saturday for RWT. It's enough of a hit to be assessed $95/head to cover, among other things, bus transportation that we won't be using (everyone will be walking to RWT) and t-shirts that we'll probably never wear. We had a nice, sweltering visit to the Heritage Museum last year and, to be honest, it's nowhere on my list of charities to be support.

I'm registered, woo-hoo! ^
I want to do both RWT's if possible, I saw they're both listed on Saturday so, I wasn't sure how to convey that so, I registered for both.

I noticed the registration form didn't request a Delta SkyMiles Number.

I'll probably book the flights as we get closer - I've tended to find that fares in the fall indeed fall (pardon my horrible pun) once we get into late summer.

Having trouble with the hotel registration- I follow the link, at first it shows the DL DO rate and proper dates, and then it says "Please note that the group rate you requested is unavailable. Available rates are displayed below. "
