Hi,
I have been lucky enough to buy 2 VIP tickets for the diner with Buzz and i am very excited about it.
However, please dont all shout at me but really it is only Buzz that Im keen to meet, im not really too bothered about the others.My question is would i be right in thinking that there isn't much point in me staying for the saturday night?
Thank you.

It's only March, the show is in October. Almost 7 months to go.

Peronally I would give it a little more time before making a decision if to stay or not. Lots of time for more guest announcements.

If you've already paid for the dinner then I would think you would want to come along for it!

If you are wondering about whether to stay the night at the hotel after the dinner then I guess that is down to you. Have you got far to travel for the event and do you plan on having a few drinks? I get the impression the dinner and the bit afterwards can run quite late into the night so a lot will depend on how long you plan on sticking around for afterwards.

Also, as has already been said, the event is some time away yet so I would hang fire before making any major decisions.

That was the way I had understood the first post, that bob was wondering about a hotel stay after the dinner.

Hi and thanks for your replies Queen_Sindel and Count Fooku,
Apologies, what i meant was i assumed that the dinner was the friday night so i was wondering whether to stop the saturday night too.
However, you are quite right- no need to make that decision yet (I was just concerned on missing out on the really good Hilton discount)
Thank you again- Buel

Not sure from your post if you know that the Dinner is Saturday night, not Friday. There is usually a drinks reception on the Friday night though.

I'm not sure how many rooms are covered by the special rate but I would have thought you'd still be OK to leave it a month or two before making any decisions. I've certainly not decided on what to to accomodation wise yet.

As others have said, early days yet, and I'm sure more great guests to come.

There is always a great atmosphere at Autographica events as well, so if you can, stay for the whole event and soak it up.

It's early days as others have already said & don't forget there will be other guests, hopefully more astronauts and aviation people. There is also a chance to find that item you've been looking for from one of the dealers who attends and it's nice to get the chance to meet fellow collectors in the Hiltons bars or restaurants
