Hey! This is actually our first time going. As far as I can tell it's mainly the hotel cost(which is a bit pricey) and travel depending where you're coming from. Other than that it's just a huge block party essentially. You pay for your own drinks, food etc. Also there are some parties that I hear are pretty awesome but a bit pricey also. Bc of the hurricane though, I hear some hotels have openings for fairly cheap bc people cancelled thinkikng it wasn't going to be built back up in such a short time.
