Congratulations! (On the school and on the cookies.) If you can bear the travel, the visit weekend is worth it to meet others in your department and field before you actually have to settle in. And if you tell the current students that you're almost certainly going to accept Emory, you'll probably get heads-up on good places to look for housing. (Emory! Seriously, congratulations.)
Reading that list of instructions, it sounds like they want you to make it through the travel agency, which is quite happy (and totally accustomed to) working within time restrictions. (The agency will also add your frequent flyer number if you give it to them.) The last line sounds like a standard caution that they probably use on all grad students, because procrastination is a thing. It makes the entire email irritatingly ambiguous, though. I'm sorry.
And oh, yes, on forgetting critical dates! I've done it several times and even my mother, who is the most organized of organized people, has done it at least once. Yay for wonky memories?
