Some others have talked of the split, and that it was on separate days. I guess that could work. I was thinking it was all on one day and I thought that would be insane. However, this was mentioned on another thread, those who did miss the Studios presentation did get the chance to go to the 25 Years of Pixar one. I don't know, the cupcake did hit the spot though .
it should have been split because it's 3 different fandoms. People who are interested in the Muppets aren't necessarily interested in Marvel. (and vice versa)
It would have given more people the chance to see what they wanted. I know I was only interested in the Marvel part of the studios presentation. And it would have made things easier if they didn't have the phone/camera check. I still don't see what the big deal is if people have them. The information is still going to get out, with or without pictures.
And, I still say there weren't enough presentation and presentation space. Let's put it this way, there were, I don't even know how many people, but let's just say 40k+, the arena hold 4k, and the other rooms 1k and 800 (or something around that), that's only about 6k people. That's only 15% of the people in attendance that are even able to be in a presentation room at the same time (if there were 3 things going simultaneously) So that's 34k people without things to do.
I really don't understand why they would set something up where the majority of people can't get into the presentations?!!?
I think most people feel the same way, at least everyone I've talked to, except the people here. But what else is new. Then again, I didn't talk to many people because the crowd was the most unfriendly con crowd ever. No one really talked to each other. And if you tried, people were rude and snippy.
You can say all you want about the "oh the lines will be crazy that's just how it is" but the fact that for the studios presentation, if you weren't there 3+ hours before it started, you had no chance to get in is ridiculous. yes, you'll always have the crazies who line up hours before, but not everyone can/ or even thinks to do that.
If they decide to do it again (and keep in near DLR) they either need to find a bigger convention center, or limit the tickets. Or just move it to Orlando where there's the Orlando Convention Center that's about 10 times bigger.
Hopefully this actually made sense since it's mostly just me rambling
I got to the venue around around 8am and 7.50am on the first two days, and just gave up and turned up a bit before 9am on the Sunday when there was less I wanted to do.
When we went to the Destination-D event a year ago seats were guaranteed, the hall opened around 8:30AM, we went down around 7:30 and there were easily 500 people in line. It's mainly the California Disney Crazies, we didn't have the same problem at the Destination-D in Florida.
