All family cast, work crew, and volunteers are responsible for their own transportation, housing, and meals while participating in the Nauvoo Pageant. Families/individuals may choose to make their own arrangements or to participate in the pageant housing or meal programs listed below.

Pageant participants will usually have a two hour break for lunch and dinner; however, cast members must also get into costume, style hair, and apply make-up during the evening meal time. Because of this tight schedule, all cast members may participate in the pageant meal program if they desire. Meals will be served cafeteria-style by a contracted caterer. Participants may select any combination of meals (breakfast, lunch, lunch and dinner, dinner only, all three meals, etc.) for the duration of their stay. Due to service needs, meal choices cannot be changed during pageant participation. To participate in the pageant meal programs, a deposit totaling 50% of the cost will be due by March 1, 2008. The remaining balance will be due by May 1, 2008.

Families/individuals who bring their own mobile housing to Nauvoo, such as motor homes, 5th wheel trailers, camp trailers, or tent trailers, may request space at the Nauvoo Restoration Incorporated (NRI) R.V. park. (Soft-sided tents are not permitted in the R.V. park.) The park is located approximately 1 mile north of the Visitors Center in Nauvoo. Individual parking pads include full electrical, water, and sewer hook-ups. A shower house and laundry facilities are available for use by park residents. The cost to use the R.V. park is $20.00/day per pad. R.V. sites are available on a first come-first served basis. Reservations will need to be made through the Nauvoo Pageant office.

Because of the demolition of the Joseph Smith Academy, the Nauvoo Vacation Villas/Condos and Nauvoo Family Inn and Suites have graciously agreed to hold space in their facilities specifically for pageant participants. Only those accepted into the pageant will be able to make reservations for these accomodations. Space is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis after families have been notified of their acceptance. (Please do not call for reservations after submitting your application.) Payment for these accomodations will be made directly to the appropriate establishment according to their payments schedule.

Single individuals or couples interested in sharing accommodations with other pageant participants should indicate their interest when requesting a reservation. Where possible, they will be matched with other singles of the same gender or with other couples based upon availability.

Condos reserved for the pageant are configured with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master bedroom with a king-size bed and a second bedroom containing a king-size bed and a twin bed. Upon request, king and twin beds can be replaced with up to 2 bunk beds per room. Each condo also contains a sofa/sleeper in the living area and can therefore accomodate from 2-10 people per unit. Each condo has a fully equipped kitchen with full-size frig, stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, basic cooking pots/pans/utensils, and dishses for 8. Bed and bath linens are provided, and basic maid service, including changing linens, occurs every 3-4 days. Condos also feature central air conditioning, high speed internet access, and satellite TV. The condos are located 3.5 miles from the pageant site, east on IL Hwy 96. For more information on amenities and location, please visit www.nauvoocondos.com.
