WonderCon Anaheim 2017 (3/31 - 4/2)

Post by jeremycoe »

Who's planning on going to WonderCon this year? I'm seriously considering going, but want to be sure Valiant will be there.

I have a few questions for those that have gone in the past (I haven't been able to find this info on their website):
  1. What time does the convention normally open on the Friday?
  2. How good of a discount do they offer for the Disneyland passes?

I don't remember discounts to Disneyland. They post the hours. Valiant has been there every year, and so have I lol. It's a fun show. A bit of a little big show. But like most cons it's growing!

In answer to my own question regarding convention opening time, it appears that it usually opens at noon on the Friday, 10:00 on Saturday, and 10:30 on Sunday.

I'll probably be there most of the day on Friday, and some of Saturday. I'm pretty sure I've convinced the wife to go by presenting it as a trip to Disneyland without the kids :D She said she'll go to WonderCon on Friday, but be at Disneyland all day Saturday.

That is the great thing about having the show in Ana-crime.

Tons of places to stay. Easy to get around.

It's the bizarro LA.

All those regular Valiant panels were at ECCC, but the Spotlight on Marguerite Sauvage and Bob Layton, that's just awesome!!!
