Looking at all these clip, I'm just happy to actually being there with everyone there. For the span of 10 years, I only able to dream and watch vlog to experiences what they're having there. This year I finally made it! 😭

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

Same here 😭❤️ I had been dreaming of this since I was a kid! With a lot of hard work and dedication dreams can come true!!

[@GDICommander]

Thank you for filming ALL your experiences and for producing this very complete vlog! It was the trip and experience of your life, and you are showing it with lots of emotion and the amount of effort you put in this video! The final party was something! The huge shrimp, the discussions, the energy, it was great! :)

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

You've got this!!

[@MIKE_ASTA]

this is ligit what i wanna do in the future tbh (im way to nervous tho😭😭)

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

It could always be a goal you set for yourself! When I was first inspired by this competition, I was still very anxious over the idea of performing on stage and it took some practice but eventually I got there

[@tabithagant9371]

it is a little late. however, I use peppermint oil to fight against vertigo. for longer periods of time motion sickness pills.

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

OH interesting! I will have to see if Meg has tried that before!

[@rhearoyality]

i dream this is me one day

[@hen_han_o024]

This vlog was so well paced and I loved watching it. Also just curious what country did it feel the most comfortable to cosplay in?

[@LuluRushCosplay]

What if your vegetarian?

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

There are vegetarian options and restaurants around! Some are specifically catered to meat focused cuisine but even those had vegetarian safe options. And for the specialty meal at the closing party there was an option that mentioned being vegetarian!

[@austinjackson2574]

That's very informative! May I ask about being autistic and having texture sensitivities? Or other sensory sensitivities? @@AnnieChieDesigns

[@AnnieChieDesigns]

@austinjackson2574 during the world cosplay summit events if we had dietary restrictions of any kind (which would include what you mentioned for sure) we were asked to tell the organizers in an official form. So allergies, limitations, everything was known ahead of time.

[@austinjackson2574]

That's super cool and considerate!@@AnnieChieDesigns
