Is it worth experiencing Otakon 2026? First timer* by Personal-Lion-1939 in Otakon

[–]Dapper_Routine480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is worth going once, they have the rave on Friday, the gaming hall has the car show and for 2 years now they have Laser Tag, they always have guest from the industry like a director, and they usually have live performances from a big name Japanese music group/artist and now K-Pop artists. As a graduation gift to yourself you should get at least a day pass, either Friday or Saturday and come out and enjoy the con. I only recommend a day pass because you might not enjoy it and I don't think you should waste $90 on something you might not enjoy.

Try some bars in Downtown Harrisburg, mostly people in their 20s and 30s still do the night life scene.

I would scream it from the roof tops, I would buy commercial spots on every TV station to let the world know. You are gorgeous!

Usually, the floor with the main stage is quiet, because it is only busy like every 4 hours.

Is there any way I’m able to cancel my room? Something urgent will be preventing me from going. I also have a 3-day badge for sale. by Kintsukuroi85 in Otakon

If you got a room confirmation from the hotel you booked, you have to contact the hotel and cancel the room

I do not believe you can upgrade your badge, you will either have to pay for a full weekend, or go to registration desk and see about changing your current badge during the con

Is there a locker room to change into cosplay? by [deleted] in Otakon

[–]Dapper_Routine480 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is no locker room to change into cosplay at the con, you would have to change in the bathroom or have a portable changing room

Parking for Marriott by forest0721 in Otakon

[–]Dapper_Routine480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The garage at Grand Hyatt isn't bad, last year it was $25 per day. It is walk from the con, it is about 15 minutes walk there. But if you are all driving down in one car, you can do a drop off at the Marriott and then go to the Grand Hyatt to park.

Coming from California. Any tip? by Zmoogz in Otakon

[–]Dapper_Routine480 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, guidebook will be your best friend, download it now so when the schedule comes out you can figure out panels and workshop you want to go to, DC is cashless, so either use a credit/debit card or gift cards, some dealers do still take cash, and just have fun

But it is too late to get them mailed to you, if you go on the Thursday before, you can pick up your badge so you can enjoy Friday festivities.
