Thats okay cause we are going to have an Easter egg hunt.
A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting”

We are considering it.
SDCC: 2011-2014, 2016-2019, 2022-| ECCC: 2015-2018, 2021 | WonderCon: ? | DragonCon: ? | NYCC: ?

Zim: Ummm, is it supposed to be stupid?
Tallest Purple: It's not stupid; [sarcastically] it's advanced!

It really is like a mini SDCC. Think SDCC without the swag, big studios booths, Hall H, Gaslamp/offsites or exclusives. What it has is the Arena (B20-like feel to the panels), lots of cosplay, video gaming booths, tons of comics vendors, and space to breathe. Plus it's next to Disneyland.

I went this last year. It lacks the epic feel of sdcc. I liked all the stuff in the arena, but not as many actors showed up even though it's close to Hollywood.

I think if I go again it will just be for one day to buy some comics, shirts and play some video games. Maybe see a panel or two

Orange County/John Wayne (SNA) is the closest. Long Beach (LGB) is next. After that, you're looking at LAX, which is likely to be cheapest, but you might eat up those savings in airport transportation costs.

Southwest goes into SNA and Jet Blue flies into LGB.

We love WC so much. Even though it doesn't feel the same as SDCC, doesn't draw as man celebrities, and not as much presence from some comic creators...we still love WC.

It is so nice being able to attend a  convention without feeling like we need to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn. We were well rested and still spent plenty money lol

Lol. We wake up at the buttcrack of dawn and go to Disneyland, then come down to WC at about lunchtime. It's amazing to fit in both Disney and a con into the same weekend!

That's what my wife is saying since I've not been to Disney in CA just FL. I just wish it wasn't the weekend after ECCC cuz that's going to be a busy, $$$ trip.

Yep, I might be going to ECCC as well, so it will be busy for me too. But what a way to kick off convention season!
