Barefoot Billy’s Jet ski, Bike, and Scooter Rental
As always our Parrot Head PHriends at Barefoot Billy’s are offering YOU a nice discount on several things! For the uninitiated, Barefoot Billy’s is on the beach at the Casa Marina in Key West. Book your bikes and scooter rentals with them by asking for the Parrot Head discount of 10% off during MOTM! You can also get a discount on a jet ski tour! They have one option of a 27 mile tour of the island by water for YOUR low price of $99 which is a nice savings. http://barefootbillys.com/
Margaritaville Key West
All Parrot Heads registered for Meeting of the Minds 2018 will get a FREE special drink during Meeting of the Minds 2018. All you have to do is present your credential and ask for the special MOTM drink at Margaritaville key West on Duval Street during Meeting of the Minds. Be sure to take your credential with you as they will put a special small punch in it when you ask for your FREE drink! Also with your credential YOU will receive a special discount of 10% OFF on anything from the retail shop! Yes there will be a special charity shirt this year from Margaritaville Key West. The artists are hard at work developing the art now. Margaritaville Key West will be back in 2018 at our Mini Mart inside the Casa Marina as well!
Casa Marina Host Hotel Status
The beautiful Casa Marina is currently sold out. All that said there may be a cancellation during the year as the event approaches due to life changes as we all know about. If you want to be in line for a cancellation you can book a room at the Reach to be on the standby list for the Casa Marina!
The 2018 MOTM Wait List for the Casa Marina – Here are the 3 steps below:
REMEMBER YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FOR MEETING OF THE MINDS 2018 TO STAY AT THE CASA MARINA OR BE ON THE WAIT LIST FOR THE CASA.
Put in the title of your email “MOTM Casa Marina Wait List.” Tell Rick you are booked at the Reach and registered for MOTM. Rick will add you to the Casa Marina wait list in the order in which you contact him.
We have to fill the Casa Marina so we will work very hard to move everyone we can as cancellations occur. We will be working down the order in which you reply to Rick Fyffe. Sorry for any confusion but it is best to manage this list through Rick vs. contacting the hotel.
Here is the special link to the Reach Resort for our group discount – Again this is NOT the same rate as the Casa Marina. Simply copy and paste the URL below into your browser to access the exclusive rates available just for Parrot Heads!
The Reach Resort offers a special MOTM Only Parrot Head 10% discount for the online rates and will also honor discounted resort fee of $20. The current public resort fee is $40.
