KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR OUR FAMILIES
- ❗️Virtually Identical Base Cost: Once you add Florida’s ~$440 airfare and daily Uber fares, the total cost for Florida ($1,248–$1,342+) comes out almost identical to Hawaii ($1,285–$1,340).
- ❗️Massive Extra Savings: Skipping Florida saves our families hundreds, even thousands of dollars on theme park food, merch, and extra ticket add-ons.
- ❗️Zero Transit Headaches: Stay directly on the beach at the Hilton Hawaiian Village with no daily rideshare costs or logistics to worry about!
PEACE OF MIND: WHY WE CHOSE HAWAII
We want every family to have full clarity and peace of mind about our destination. Beyond the amazing value, the Florida event was ultimately out of the question for our gym because our roster does not fit the Varsity age grid constraints and it would be unfair to those athletes to not offer them a competitive experience with their team.
Hawaii gives us an incredible international stage where all of our athletes are eligible to compete, combined with unbeatable convenience and a true beach vacation experience!
Cheerfully,
Coach Becky
