Correct, but I would still shoot to arrive earlier rather than later because of having to deal with all the people heading in for the show floor.I need some thoughts from y’all more experienced Expo attendees, please!
Yesterday and today we’ve done only Archives Stage presentations both with SP and standby. Our earliest was this morning at 10:00, arrived outside just before 8:30 but not allowed inside until nearly 9:30 (grrr!), not a problem since everyone else was let in late too. We saw CMs holding Hall D23 StagePass paddles who seemed to be directing people with SP elsewhere but didn’t talk to them to find out.
Tomorrow we have SP for 10:30 Parks. Official instructions say not to arrive later than 9:30, but I see recommendations here to arrive at 7:00 or earlier. If we arrive later than 7:00 (say between 8:30-9:00), it should only make a difference in where we sit, right, since we have SP? I know everything is speculation since SP is new this year - and it seemed that morning entrance procedures were different today from yesterday! - but wondered what your observations were for Hall D23 SP yesterday and today.
Trying to decide when to queue up for Parks panel. I was shut out of SP so have to try and make it into gold.
If I were you two I would should for 6am for gold. If you want it for sure then 5am?Same here. We have no idea what time to go.
I did one last year at 10 - go to the Arena area and all sections are marked between Gold, Stage pass, and stand by.Anyone done an arena panel in the morning? Where are you directed? I saw someone did dancing with the stars but can't find the post.
... Everything I have seen at 2019 has been well organized. I have not seen massive line cutting as before or massive line mismanagement. Efficient entry in the morning. Great plan to section off the entire ACC and not have access checked at the building entrance. D23 must have finally got some experts involved in handling large groups of people. The D23 staff in the blue shirts have been much better informed and trained than in the past.
Great job D23!
Studio Gold was done at midnight...Trying to decide when to queue up for Parks panel. I was shut out of SP so have to try and make it into gold.
Glad you had a good time. I think a little pre-trip research in this thread would have helped a lot. Many of the things addressed have been covered in this thread since they are issues commonly experienced.
