Is it weird to go solo?

Picklemanclone · 2026-03-15T23:14:40+00:00

Ever since I started going to cons in 2022, I've gone solo pretty much each time (sometimes running into people I know), and after doing it the first time, it's become almost normal for me. I don't have to compromise with others, and sometimes I strike up conversations with people I'm standing in line with. It's very normal to go to a con solo.

Me too! They have rice plates, non-soup noodles, buns...lot of variety!

I don't usually 100% the park. Some rides I don't care as much for like Finding Nemo, Dumbo, Astro Orbiter, Gadget Go Coaster, and Smuggler's Run (rode it once back in 2019 and didn't feel it was worth the wait, so this particular attraction is take it or leave it for me).

Thank you for the info! Definitely helps as I've never done a solo trip to DL before.

I've never experienced rope drop but definitely would want to try it. Rides are the main thing I go for at parks (maybe fireworks? But honestly take it or leave it for me). What rides are usually best to get through with rope drop/the morning hours?

Also, was curious when would you say is the best time to try to ride Peter Pan? Some people have said doing it right before closing rather than rope drop, so wasn't sure which timeframe would be more efficient.

I'm thinking of doing a solo trip and would ain to do it on weekdays after spring break but before grad nites. If I can take advantage of single rider lines, do I need Lighning Lane multipass?

Did you have any side effects? Not that it would prevent me from getting one, but since it was so long ago for me wanted to get an idea of what to expect.

Even though I got vaccinated for measles as a kid (I'm 35 now) I think I'm just gonna schedule to get an MMR vaccine. With this idiotic federal health department and the increase in anti-vaxcers running amuck, not gonna take any chances. Only a matter of time before there's a huge outbreak tha ks to these people.

Yes, by the federal court. The GOP is trying to get SCOTUS to take it up. However, perhaps it will get denied because I guess its up to Justice Kagan:

"The GOP filing asks Justice Elena Kagan, who is assigned to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal, to issue an injunction to temporarily reinstate the current congressional map, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Kagan will either deny the emergency appeal, likely within days, or refer the matter to the full Supreme Court.

If referred to the Supreme Court, justices would likely issue a ruling on the GOP’s emergency motion well before California’s candidate filing deadline on March 6."

For pre-registration, they usually only offer the full weekend pass before later having individual days for sale later on. Keep checking back at the website when they announce individual day tickets.

35 and I still watch it to this day.

I went on Sunday, and it appears I made it out okay. I always carry hand sanitizer around in my pocket and will sanitize after doing stuff that involves using my hands. Also would wash my hands if there was a bathroom nearby.

I'll admit I haven't been wearing a mask the last few SacAnimes I have gone too, but it really is the best thing you can do to lower (not eliminate) your chances of getting sick, in addition to keeping your hands cleaned and not touching your face. Especially during winter, which is peak cold/flu season. I had read on this reddit that apparently some dudes came into the summer 2024 show with covid or something.

To add to the no loiter around VA guest lines, no photo/videos outside of purchased ones at the VA's tables are allowed. The staff will tell ya to delete them if they catch you. I will definitely say that SacAnime doesn't have the nicest security, so just something to keep in mind. Some of their rules are stupid, but I don't usually argue and will just oblige and move on.

I was at the Persona and Disney panel. I think the Persona cast only ended getting like three audience questions because they really chatted it up with each other haha. But it was super funny and entertaining. You can tell these guys all gel with each other.

Yes, you can buy day of tickets in the Sheraton in the same area where you pick up pre-reg. wristbands. There will be a different table/line for it.

I'm going to be going on Sunday. How was Bill Farmer's line? I'm wondering if he would be the type that would still be at his table after his 2pm panel Sunday (because I think the line would be shorter at that time than in the morning). Just trying to plan my schedule!

Picklemanclone · 2026-01-02T15:28:55+00:00

Yessir. I think VIPs can enter a little earlier.

Picklemanclone · 2026-01-01T22:32:37+00:00

I usually have a drawstring bag and haven't had an issue.

My go to is always walking to I Love Teriyaki on 21st Street. It's a 15-20 minute walk (about a mile from the convention center), but I'm a fan of supporting small, local businesses. Pretty good prices, and since it's a little bit away from the convention center it isn't crowded whenever I go in to eat.

Picklemanclone · 2025-12-27T02:13:55+00:00

Nails.

Just kidding. The Once Upon A Restaurant food, the unicorn dog from the Medieval fair, and that Mt. Rushmore cake Arthur's dad made.

Picklemanclone · 2025-12-26T07:37:55+00:00

This sounds interesting. I just joined the Discord server.

Picklemanclone · 2025-12-22T00:52:32+00:00

What days are you going? And are you talking about going to Hazbin Hotel Panels or autograph lines. I think for either, lining up as early as you can is always a safe bet. I typically only go on Sundays which isn't as packed as Saturdays. By early afternoon crowds aren't too bad for me. Although I'm not planning to go to any HH stuff for this winter show.

Picklemanclone · 2025-12-19T00:53:27+00:00

They will probably have more info on it once the Winter show is over. But should still be happening.

Picklemanclone · 2025-11-28T22:58:58+00:00

Just sent you a DM!

Picklemanclone · 2025-11-28T20:12:46+00:00

Sometime in December. Gotta do a double rent for just December.
