A pass for the entire 5 days and access to all MBWF events is $400. However, we will need a deposit of $250 to hold your place at the banquet and your seat on the tour buses as we have to pre-pay for these and we know how many buses and how many plates for the banquet.


Deposits must be received by FEB 20th!!!!!

You can make your deposit using our paypal button on the donations page.

You will get a confirmation email when I receive your deposit which you can print out and bring with you.

The deposit will guarantee your dinner at the banquet, seats on all tours, access to all shows and events and tickets to Univertal studios park. If we do not receive your deposit we can not guarantee anything, at that point it will be if there is room as we have to give a head count to the hotel and the bus companies.

The $400 includes the banquet and dinner, a continental breakfast, tickets for the tour buses that will take us to Forest Lawn and back as well as the Encino home and the Carolwood home where we will place flowers, all shows and events at hotel for the entire 5 days, tickets for the Universal Studios park and the portion of a forest we adopted in Michael's honor and the unveiling of a plaque we will be placing there in honor of Michael Jackson, and a complimentary MBWF Tshirt. We will also be planning fun stuff for kids as Michael would have felt that most important. And kids under 12 are free for all events at hotel!
