Maureen - it's mainly for traveling to Disney locations, but they have a great variety of travel agents and just seasoned travelers in general there... it's my favorite place to go when planning any sort of vacation

Skyways and more ...

FYI

The Xcel is only ~8 miles from the airport.

Don't forget there will be plenty of photo ops as the Xcel is across the street from the Mississippi River!

The St. Paul Convention and Visitor's Bureau has a great website:

There are nearly 5 miles of Skyways which link to the Xcel: Here is a map:

I also found a great interactive map of the Xcel so you can see the approximate view from your section:
