Same here!
…Bus from San Diego!
Between one fewer day in the hotel and no parking costs... I may actually have some money to spend at the convention itself!

I'm picturing a limo bus.  :)

I might actually drive to SD so I can take the limo bus to Anaheim and party with my FoCC friends, you did mean to say PARTY limo bus, right? Lol
A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting”

I will need 2 seats.  One for me and one for my comic purchases...  Ok, I'll need four seats. :)

Add me to the "waiting for the hotel" announcement. I have to admit I am considering commuting this year, I'm like 45 min away. We will see if my daughter will be going with me.
Just remember the traffic increases exponentially during Comic Con!

I'm waiting for the hotel information.

Maybe WonderCon is having mercy on us by waiting until after Christmas to post hotel info.
Try not to spend all your money... cause the announcement has gotta be coming next month or the end of this month...

I agree. I like ReedPOP way of doing it. Badge/ticket purchase then hotel purchase. All done at same time!

It's merciful not to have to spend the money right before Christmas...

FYI - Southwest just posted a sale for flights between Jan 10 and May 18. I am now planning on flying into LAX instead of driving down from Northern California. Of course, the best deals are for weekday flights and flying into Orange County/Anaheim is not as good a deal. However, it worked out great for me as we are staying beyond the weekend to visit Disneyland and eliminating drive time means we can save $$ on our hotel room :) Thought I'd share in case others had similar plans.

I was in the hospital when the badge sale went up (always fun) and then had a diagnostic surgical procedure the week after and had to work on scheduling another two surgeries. So needless to say, my mind has not been anywhere near the topic of any conventions.

I suddenly remembered that I hadn't bought my badge or looked into hotels at all for WCA and rushed to the site. So I've finally gotten my badge. I need to bother my friends to find out who is going to determine how much space we need.

Hopefully my second surgery doesn't conflict with WCA or I'll probably be slightly devastated.

If all goes well, I'll probably be driving up to Anaheim from SD. I usually pick up a friend on the way if I'm coming from down here.

I wonder why the hotels haven't been put on sale? It's less than 90 days now!
