Not me. I greatly prefer WonderCon to Comic-Con. It's closer to me, I can wait to buy my tickets until after the programming is announced, not as many panels fill to capacity, and the timing is conducive to a preview of the summer Pixar movies.

I live in San Diego and will try to make it to a couple of these panels. I work all day Thursday so will not be able to attend the Frankenweenie or Oz the Great and Powerful panels. The city is already all decked out and ready for this convention. You find little posters of Frankenweenie all over town and little viral things popping up all over the city.

How about attending "Wreck-it Ralph: The Art of Story" panel? It would be nice if someone did to give us more info about the movie.

I would, but I think that is on Friday and I'm working on Friday as well. I might be able to make it to some of the evening things, but will spend most time on Saturday.

Strangely, as much as I am a huge fan of Disney Animation this new "Wreck-It-Ralph" picture appears extremely underwhelming. Cheap jokes and foul behavior is not the Disney I grew up with. Even the exploitive video game references remind me of "Sharktale" with its obvious and condescending pandering.

When I looked at Saturday's schedule I think the only thing that looked mildly interesting was the "Once Upon a Time" panel....and I've never seen that show. I'll mostly be going to check out the dealer floor.
