Totally understand. But Craig and others who camped out chose to do that so they could get into certain panels or certain shopping stores.
I didn't camp out overnight and still had a great time at D23. I had watched many D23 planning videos and listened to different podcasts about what to expect at D23. If you go in with the right mindset and know you can't do everything, you can still have a great time. I thoroughly enjoyed D23 even with all of the lines and the crowds. But it came down to managing my expectations. Plus, if I really got over the crowds, I could just leave and go to DL or DCA and deal with those crowds.
I do recommend that, if possible, that you attend D23 with someone else. It helps to pass the time when you are in line. Thanks
@AMusicLifeForMe for waiting in lines with me!
