Rocky Horror Picture Show is also really fun on Saturday night

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

This will be my third time going. Went for the first time in 2019. 2020 the world was closed for some reason. Went in 2023, I look forward to marching in the parade representing Resident Evil.

I usually browse the art show on Sunday mornings hungover LOL. I hope the pulse loft dj doesnt stop early this year like last yearrr :(

[@junkersreview]

If you're a fan of Buffy The Vampire slayer they do a musical on Saturday or Sunday. Small panels and art show recommendations are both excellent.

Appreciate your channel, always very informative and very well-done.

[@SaveLockwoodNCo]

All great tips! The save Lockwood and Co fandom is going for the first time! We will have a fan table. Feel free to stop by. We have some really fun and exciting things!!!

[@thearcadeguy87]

Great tips as always. Love what you do on your channel. Been going since 2011, only missing one year. However, because of necessary life choices, me and my wife have decided this will be our last Dragon Con for a while. That being said I want this to be the best year we can make it. I wonder if you or anybody can tell me of some not well known things that we could do.

It’s hard to recommend events since everyone is so different. But I just try to dabble in a little of everything over the years: voice actor improv, robot battles, just chilling in the drum circle, karaoke of various types, catching the big photo shoots to name a few.

[@DennisMatheson]

Remember the 6-2-1 rule: 6 hours sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower per day. You are going to be doing a *lot* of walking. If you are wearing new shoes, start breaking them in *now*! When bringing your own refreshments, the hotels (especially the Hilton) are cracking down on outside alcohol. Have fun. It literally is a one-of-its-kind experience.

[@empooress]

Dragoncon doesn't shut down room parties. The Hotels do. Also the con doesn't make money off of autographs or photo ops, those prices are set by the guest.

[@gt3129]

Good point on the AirBnB. I have seen so many stories of hosts backing out or straight scammers!

[@LeBassDiaries]

Great video! Hope to see you there!

[@howtodragoncon]

@@LeBassDiaries thank you, I’m always amazed when anyone actually recognizes me there 😂

[@Eggmanrocks]

Zero day ( Wednesday) Thursday and Friday

[@kingemo7806]

Was just about to comment on your recent video to ask what time the parties starts. I actually got in on the first night. But I can actually say that some of the parties i been to Barley end when I did go . I have most of the raves on my channel tho i might check out some of the other parties since I'll be there Wednesday .

[@howtodragoncon]

@@kingemo7806 there’s no official parties yet on Weds

[@kingemo7806]

@howtodragoncon I know 😂 I meant I'm going to pick up the badge early that day and I meant I might check out some different parties when I catch one while I'm there thrusday.

[@jaclyny5288]

Oh! There is a dress code for females at least! Especially people with body paint… can’t show nipple even if painted over. They will make you put on tape over even if you are fully painted. Try to get pasties near your skin color and paint that over so you won’t get flagged. Also read the rules for the props for cosplay!!! For some of the parties they won’t let you take bottles in! One year they checked us and made us leave the bottles out side the ballroom. 😢

[@howtodragoncon]

@@jaclyny5288 great points, certainly still public decency laws 🫢

[@isaragnor]

Gaming is going on Thursday but as with everything else starts in the evening.

[@s-wo8781]

So I looked on the DragonCon website and there's a pinup pool party. Have you ever been?

[@howtodragoncon]

Haven’t made it to that one.

[@shanescott7763]

Im a GA resident and was just going to come up for one day with my son. Any recommendations on where to park? One more question, is there a need for Cash? Thanks for the video!

[@howtodragoncon]

@@shanescott7763 Parking downtown on a holiday weekend will be a nightmare. Not just with prices but full lots and contest traffic just trying to move a half mile. If possible, park at a Marta station and ride in bc Peachtree Center station literally drops you off at the host hotels. Parking under 24h is free in the stations that have a parking lot (look at Marta site to see which ones do). Definitely bring cash. Most vendors and food places take card but some celeb tables only take cash. And the ATMs in the area could run out over the weekend.

[@michellesollicito]

where do you go when you first arrive? someone said i have to line up to get my pass. but where?

[@howtodragoncon]

@@michellesollicito yes, go to the Courtland Grand (formerly Sheraton) hotel for badge pickup. Have QR code and your ID ready. Also, the line to get inside may be wrapped around the building and take over an hour. Plan accordingly!

[@NottaMoi]

not sure if you’ll see this but do i pay in cash or card for autographs/photos? and how do i pay is there someone that takes the money by the table?

[@howtodragoncon]

@@NottaMoi I haven’t been to a tables in walk of fame this year but they typically just take cash. And yes, there is a handler doing the transaction so the talent is free to just chill and interact with fans.

[@NottaMoi]

@@howtodragoncon okay!! thank u for the info:)

[@user-to1kv5rs7e]

Any idea when is the best day/time to get my pass? I always have to wait over an hour to get my pass.

[@howtodragoncon]

@@user-to1kv5rs7e me too. With luck, I went around 09:30am on Thursday and it was only about 30 mins. Totally just luck of the draw.

[@ajhandsome01]
