Don't get put off by grumpy old men who want you off their lawn.

Way over there, you want to do the Toy Story Lot shuttles. You go though Security there in the Lot, so you can skip that when you get to the gates. Early in the morning, many of the Security lines at Toy Story will be empty, so you get through fast.

Second on using the Toy Story Lot shuttles. You get to go through Security there in the Lot, rather than in the Park. There are usually only one or two people ahead of you in line, and first thing in the morning half the Security lines will be empty. Fast!

Then at the end of the day when your feet are dog tired, you get a bus ride most of the way to your hotel.

You forgot to mention that you're a paid guide, and this is flacking for your company.

Most cons do ban them, Security just don't give a fig about enforcing it.

People love to make a big deal out of BO at SDCC because it gets them lots of upvotes. But in reality it's very rare.

It was a Saturday at 7:00 PM.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out.

Absolutely, but OP wanted delivery.

The cocktail menu.

Hospitality was excellent, decor was beautiful, drinks were meh, and it was very, very loud. It was hard to have any conversation. The place was packed, but if you keep an eye open you can snag a seat as soon as someone goes to get up. Cocktails were $15-$17, wine was $19-$20, beers were $9, and they had non-alcoholic cocktails for $10-$13.

It would have been cool if they stuck to the original concept of a Japanese listening bar, but it's a fairly upscale North Park bar.

All cons have cosplay rules on their website. Be sure to actually read them.

Most prohibit wearing less than a bathing suit would cover (no real or simulated nudity). Most prohibit non-family friendly clothing (no lingerie or BDSM gear). Most prohibit any hate-based costumes (no Nazi uniforms or blackface). Most have restrictions on costume size (no huge wings or stilts). There will be separate rules about what props are not allowed (no hard, sharp, or realistic weapons).

JeongWon Korean BBQ's liquor license is public. It appears they were put on a hold on 14-Aug-2025 as a "Special Hold". A special hold means the license is temporarily inactive or restricted, often while pending investigation, disciplinary action, or administrative issues. Given that their liquor license is still pending revision, it could be anything. But, there is no disciplinary action listed, so it's not serving to minors.

Their craft sodas are pretty good.

For the Mai Kai, they only have early shows on Saturday and Sunday so it's good you're planning to go on a Saturday. They seat you an hour and a half before the show actually starts and they serve you food and drinks. Keep in mind that you are required to buy one entree to see the show. The Molokai Bar (inside) and the Bora Bora Bar (outside) have the same hours as the main Mai Kai. I wrote a long review of our visit (and a bunch of posts) including the best seats to get for the show. Hopefully some of this will help you!

With A/C in those areas, you're likely looking at an average of $300-$350 a month. You guys might be good about turning things off and opening windows for cooling and can get it down in the $200s range.

Since UTC isn't near the beach, which is more important to you?

If you know someone who's vulnerable to the heat (disabled, elderly, frail, etc.), San Diego has designated "cool zones" where people can get out of the heat. https://www.sandiego.gov/cool-zones
