<\/a><\/p>\nThe location is great, but it would be nice if they finished the last remaining construction soon.\u00a0 Parking could be a little tricky and expensive due to the popularity of the event and proximity to Disneyland.\u00a0 Once you get past that hurtle the rest of the location is great.\u00a0 There is space for foodtrucks, there are places for large photogatherings, and the building has more than enough room for all attendees.\u00a0 There were plenty of panel rooms on the second and third floors with over crowding being a problem on very few occasions.\u00a0 The dealer hall was huge as it used two sections to hold all the different booths.\u00a0 While most of the aisles were wide there were places in the artist alley that had narrow zones that got filled with human traffic.<\/p>\n
The panel rooms are mostly large using two sections to make a full room.\u00a0 Each room has a simple AV setup and someone there to help.\u00a0 There were very few panels that had any technical issues, our staff had no problems setting up our panels.\u00a0 The schedule is strong with a mix of \u2018educational\u2019 panels along side industry and guest panels.\u00a0 The only problem anyone consistently had with panels was the occasional weirdo who asked bizarre questions.\u00a0 In addition to that, the security was very helpful and courteous.<\/p>\n Beyond panels There was still plenty to do at Wondercon.\u00a0 For photographers there was no shortage of unique cosplayers running around and several large gatherings were held in the courtyard of the convention center.\u00a0 The dealer hall had a large variety of goods and guest booths.\u00a0 There was an area for tabletop gaming as well and a blood drive for those who can fit it into their schedule.\u00a0 This time around there were also several screenings for new animated movies and short films.\u00a0 The big lacking point in this pop culture event is the lack of video gaming content.\u00a0 There was only a small booth or two in the dealer hall and only a couple panels that tied into the high grossing medium of gaming.<\/p>\n Like many pop culture events in Southern California the vibe was generally good.\u00a0 While there was the occasional weirdo who made people uncomfortable, everyone was generally friendly.\u00a0 This is helped by the sheer amount of families that were at the event.\u00a0 While it is not impossible for parents to be jerks, the stroller army of Wondercon was made up of the kind of people you want at a large event.\u00a0 Even the cosplayers were on their best behavior a nice change from the usual stock of SoCal cosplayers.\u00a0 While crowding could be an issue every now and again it didn\u2019t ruin the upbeat feeling that seemed to permeate the convention even on day three.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
