You'd think that people spending tens of thousands of dollars on these programs would look into these possibilities beforehand.

The opposite, the fact that I'm paying tens of thousands should leave me the peace of mind that all will be taken care of.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

With prices like are being charged, there should be legal binding contracts signed by all parties (including hotels and suppliers) involved.

Imagine the write up if it was Dans program that cancelled.....anyway, I don't think anyone who booked with this program is lacking the funds to simply change plans to a different location....

That's indicative of poor money management, if you're not going to make sure that what you're spending 10's of thousands of dollars is guaranteed and backed up, those 10's of thousands aren't going to last long.

Finding something available at this point has got to be difficult.

To those of you complaining about Pesach programs in general, would you go if it were free?

Also, the guy running the program actually lives in Belgium, so I'm not sure if he qualifies as Israeli.

i would try it. Side note: I know 2 families that go every year that claim to hate it (but the Father insists on going with their extended families )

I've done both. Going away is better both b'ruchnies u'bigashmias. I would assume it depends on the program, speakers and Rabbonim present.

I wouldn't go if it were free. It goes against everything we were taught regarding our values and pesach.

Don't ask a question if you won't take the answer. Some people actually enjoy spending some simple time at home with their families.

They come across as jealous people with no real choice.

Should we expect a DDMS PSA?
Dan is working for one of those programs.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

FTFY.  I probably would end up going if it were free, but that doesn't mean I support the idea. I'm young and looking to get things in while I can. Years down the line, with kids and grandchildren visiting, I highly doubt I'll want to pack up my life and leave for a week+
