[Davin_Felth]

I keep looking around for news out of D23. When do the announcements start?

I'm *cough* a sorcerer and leaving Walking with Giants half way through at 2pm to join Animations

Wow I thought D23 was going to be crowded this year because of SDCC! I'm glad to hear there's still room for animation presentation.

Maybe "sorcerers" have secret powers... at least that is how I am reading it.

I'm in line for animation. It was a mess.

Waiting in the Mickeys of Glendale line.
The redheaded pirate woman just walked by. Keep an eye out for that cosplay. It was great.

Not sure about now, but we waited about an hour and a half starting at 10am. The line for the MOG pin store is currently about 4 hours the person working the line said.

OMG! 4HRS? and also... there's a separate line for the pins?!

This year there is a separate pin store with an extremely long line. Apparently they are only letting in 7 at a time.

Thanks for the heads up! Note to self.... NO PINS <heartbreaks>

Was in line for animation, section B and at 245 they announced that it had already started and half the section wasn't in yet. Make things worse, they said they were at almost at capacity. This is horrible ran..

I take it you weren't able to make it in? I'm so sorry sounds like that whole panel needed some serious line staffing help. I saw some lines that appeared to be overstaffed so allocation of resources seems to be the issue here

 

[wilkeliza]

Animation was great. There was definitely less staff than Legends though. For Legends Sorcerers had to scan in but for Animation we didn't. I wonder if it is because Legends had a Sorcerers only give away item.

If anyone wants to follow along I'm live tweeting. My twitter is wilk_ellie it is just too hard to update fast here.

 

[PaintsWithAllTheColors]

Heads up to all: hearing that hundreds-1000 people didn't make it into Animarion due to poor crowd control and received wristbands for Live Action or Parks tomorrow. Might want to factor this into your planned wait times for those panels

That is just going to make more upset because unless the said pick one or the other then how will they be able to plan.

I think they got to chose and received a wristband for the one they choose. Seems like most picked Live Action.
