• The student registration rate is $200 plus $60 a day for housing. This is significantly less than the regular rates.

• There is an option of buying a ticket to the Epcot Center in addition.
• Airfare is not included.

• Contact your congregation and ask them to be a delegate.
• Every congregation is entitled to one delegate, plus an additional one for every 100 member units. In addition, every congregation is entitled to an equal number of alternates, and an unlimited number of observers.
