Too soon for a new thread for this year? Don't know so I'm posting this in this one. Early bird starts tomorrow at 9am. Ummm....good news.

Hotels | Comic-Con International: San Diego

Probably a bit early...We actually thought about this since last time we wound up rooming in Tijuana, cons:it's just Mission Valley/Airport hotels(on shuttle routes, but fairly far removed). Some of the MVA hotels are really substandard AND expensive. And all payment required upfront. NO REFUNDS. AT...ALL. We figger we will take our chances with the mad press. You gave us good info last time on how to be successful...so, ROLL THE DICE.

Whoa whoa whoa...

What is this nonsense? Giving people more than an hours notice after a twitter announcement? What is Comic-Con thinking?!??!?!

Yeah...they go all Kobayashi Maru in the explanation too...if you already preregistered and are trying to improve your package...your original reservation can be cancelled...blah blah blah. So...dilemma. Do I try to get preview night or just leave well enough alone.

Hmmm, at least you've got time to see if the res is cancelled before you have to try for it right? Might be worth a phone call or six. . .

Right? I'm honestly thinking of just making the drive down from OC each day. Cheaper than spending $1200 on a room.

You ought to consider the train. The SD station lets off right there. The problem is the stupid train times....you might find departure times convenient.

That was a thought as well. My only "issue" was the times as well as a place to put my stuff that I pick up/buy. It's a nice ride down though. I'm still back and forth about it really.
 
Well, I got my Wonder Con badge...let the geekdom begin. Adgy, I will see you there
 
Definitely will let you know. I can't make the Comic Con in SD this year because I will be saving for Hawaii which is the next week, so I wanted to see how this one was
