PCB Party Pass

Spring break group chat kit

Copy-paste messages for every step of the trip

Your spring break group chat is the trip’s only infrastructure. These messages move it from “we should go” to “home safe,” one step at a time. Tap copy, paste, edit the names and times. Fun, clear, not cringe.

3. Lock the place

Week is locked. Next: the place. I'm booking for all of us this week. Shares are split by bed, I'll post the numbers. No booking, no trip, so please pay your share by the date I post.

4. Everyone buy your card

Card time. Each person needs their own PCB Club Card for our week. Ultimate $200 (all night) / Platinum $100 (free until 11 PM) / Fred's Card $80 (8-10 PM at Fred's only), all + taxes and fees. Not sure which? Use pcbpartypass.com/crew-card-picker/ Screenshot your confirmation and drop a ✅ when you're done.

5. Money's due

Friendly reminder that is also a deadline: shares for the place are due tomorrow at 8 PM. Paid: ✅ in the chat. If something's up with money, DM me today, not tomorrow at 7:59.

6. Pickup day

PICKUP DAY. We go together to the Welcome Center at Hammerhead Fred's (8752 Thomas Dr). Pickup is Noon to 11 PM. Bring: your valid photo ID + your order confirmation (screenshot it now, signal is a gamble). Meet in the lobby at 3. Cards first, beach after.

7. Night-out check-in

Tonight's plan: Meet out front at 9:30. Buddies: same as last night. Meeting point if we split up: outside the main entrance. Platinum crew, we're inside before 11. Nobody leaves alone. Rides home are sorted before the first drink.

8. Home safe

Rule: say "home" when you're back. Last one in checks the door. No "home" from your buddy? Call them, not the chat.

Copied

9. The morning after

Morning. Day plan: Beach by noon, food at 2, nap at 5 (optional but encouraged). Tonight is posted at 6. If you're skipping tonight, say so. No guilt, just a headcount.

Group chat questions

What should a spring break group chat be called?

Something everyone will recognize at a glance and that is not embarrassing on a lock screen. Our favorites: “PCB or Bust”, “The Itinerary” and “Card Carrying Members.”

How do you get people to commit in the group chat?

Give a deadline and treat “maybe” as a no until it becomes a yes. Then lock the week, the place and the cards in that order.

Should the group chat be logistics only?

Yes. Keep one chat for plans, money and pickup, and send the memes somewhere else so nobody misses a deadline.

18+ to enter with valid photo ID. 21+ to drink with valid photo ID.
