Anyone know if construction on the new parking is gonna be done by then? The situation was even worse but after driving in circles a while with my d in my h I eventually found a spot directly across from the mariott garage entrance to the hotel so it all worked out

I've always wanted to go to Comic Con but reading the OP definitely talked me out of it. Everything about this sounds horrible, from getting a badge to the lines, all of it. I sure wish I'd have done it in my early 20s when I had a higher tolerance for bullshit. I hope you all have fun!

You could always try one of the smaller comic cons

fwiw if you get one badge you have 2 because you can get a replacement. You might not want to stand next to each other at checkpoints though. Also it used to be like 60 for a replacement and now it's full price iirc

If you're on the shuttle route you'll be fine. Only hard part might be getting to the con super early in the morning if you plan on waiting in a popular line. Outside of that they are really great.

You would have to line up for conman to get to the panel 3-4 ahead unless it's a smaller room with smaller panels in which case maybe you can do 2 but 1 ahead is tempting the gods
