GeekyCon Review


I went to GeekyCon 2015 in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. If you have never been or heard of it you should look it up and go. I highly recommend going it is an amazing experience. It was orginally called Leakycon. The name may have changed but the heart of the convention is still Harry Potter.

Now Geekycon isn't know for a bunch of famous actors and sneak previews or anything like that. It's a celebration of fandoms coming together and being able to meet up and talk about geeky topics. It's a safe place where you can speak your mind and be yourself with no judgment. Which I think is a really amazing and wonderful thing to be a apart of.

They always have a huge variety of meets ups and panels and main stage events. That I had something planned back to back every hour from 9 am to 8 pm. It's a jam packed 4 day event. 

The market place isn't as big as most conventions. But they always have unique and interest things for sale. Things like hogwarts combined house shorts to butterbeer truffles. And you can not go to Geekycon with out getting a snitch which from the Harry and the Potters stand.

Who are Harry and the Potters you may ask? There is such a thing called Wizard Rock! It's Potter fan bands singing about the books and movies and characters. It is also a great convention to see Team Starkid. They created A Very Potter Musical. As well as Holy Musical Batman, Twisted, and Starship. 

I just want to say it was such a great experience and it was my third year in a row going. It never gets old and everyone is so friendly and accepting of everyone there. 

Get your Geek on at GeekyCon! I dare you.

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do.
