There isn't any break in the programming on Saturday but there will be times that you will probably have a break because maybe for 45 minutes or so there won't be any celebrities on stage and whatever photo op is happening is for a guest you don't have tickets for.

But my advice is to carry a bag with you that has lots of drinks and snacks! I always had some fruit and water with me. Just plan ahead and carry stuff with you.

a friend is gonna go the hotel check for food places. according to google there's a Tim Horton right across the street so thats where Im getting breakfast lunch and dinner.
Im staying in the same hotel so yeah Im planning to bring snacks leave them in the room and when I get a chance go a grab some come back down.
Im gonna have a water bottle with me at all times

T'Lynn

Sounds good!

The schedule will be released the Wednesday before the convention so study it and pick your time to go for meals so you don't miss anything

Keep in mind that the autographs can go really late but now that you have a Gold pass you should be okay because you'll be in the first group to get autographs

Tati_SwanJones

so the autograph is like the last thing of the day? or the photo ops?

T'Lynn

At the Chicago con this year the autographs were all at the end of the day. The panels, photo ops and meet & greets were all scattered through the day. They try not to overlap but I remember I had to leave Sinqua's panel a little early to line up for a photo op with Sean.

Tati_SwanJones

I dont want to leave Jen or Colin or their duo panel

was it also creation??

how is the Merch area?

T'Lynn

Yes, it was Creation

You won't have to miss their panels. Don't worry. The big stars they schedule more carefully so they don't have anyone have to miss it.

The vendor area was small and I didn't find anything that I wanted to buy there but they are trying to make it better this year.

Tati_SwanJones

so its possible to have the photo by the time of the autograph ??

thats good if they want to make it better, I want to buy like a cute CS bracelet or something a poster

T'Lynn

Yes, you will likely be able to have the pic in time for the autograph.

Don't get your hopes up for good merch ... they are an official convention so they can only sell official OUAT merchandise at the convention so that's why they didn't have a lot of options this year.

But I'll take a look around the vendor area in Vancouver and let you know.

Tati_SwanJones

oh cool!! is a good quality the pic?

oh bummer the only official merch is like Hot Topic stuff and they dont have a lot anyway. and Funkos

T'Lynn

Yeah, they are good quality. If you blink they will stop you and have you do it again. I didn't like my pic but the quality was good


Well, they did have clothing that I had never seen before but they have to be made from official images. No fanart. We'll see. I will definitely spend some time checking it out so I will let you know what I find!

Tati_SwanJones

I want to look at least okay in my pics ahhhhh

the good part of no having a lot of merch less money

T'Lynn

Yeah, I wasn't tempted to buy anything I saw this year.

Tati_SwanJones

oh that sucks. but hey we get the most value item ever a pic with Jen (and Jen and Colin)
