Looks good - thanks!

Now wait and see what 'magic' the travel agency can do for my flights.

Given that there's a reasonable overnight itinerary out of YVR (50 min layover in YYZ), I suspect you'll be hard-pressed to have Waze pay for that second night in the hotel.

Traditionally, they'll only cover it if it is completely impossible for someone to attend the meetup without it.

Oh, ok.

Typically, once the list is confirmed, the hotel gets booked and you can reach out to them directly to get the group rate extended to any additional night(s) stays.

The hotel's website quotes $149 for a single queen room on September 6th, so it most likely will be in that ballpark.
