You're going to have a ball at Quilt Fest! No rolling carts are allowed on the show floor, however, there are package check stations where you can check your packages for $1.00. I just bring along a light weight bag in my shopping bag and when it gets heavy I fill it up and check it.
It does tend to be crowded. I've learned to time things to avoid the crowds. I often look at Quilts in the mornings when lots of people are madly shopping and then shop while everyone else eats lunch. After a late lunch the majority of the crowds are thinning and I go and do more shopping then. Also, I find that Thurs and Fri are the best days for quilt viewing and Sat and Sun are best for shopping, but that's JMO.
I live in Houston and am at Festival every year. See you there! lol
