Peter - years ago, I wanted to go to Comic-Con...now I have a son, who wants to go and I said a few years back, when you are twelve. That is two years away and this set of postings are going to make those two years seem like FOREVER to him. Thank you for posting info. Cannot wait to see what gets posted tonight.
Could I ask a few recon questions? Room wise are you in San Diego, or do you suggest staying outside of the City? If the latter transit into the City?
Rod - Stick to your plan to wait til he's twelve to go to San Diego. I think that's a good age. Remember there are 100,000 people at the con and there are times when there is the press of the crowd and you can't just step away. That could be overwhelming for many people. There are many small Cons all over the country, go to ones of those first. Those you could go to now, 10 is old enough.
I am lucky enough to be able to stay within walking distance and I would recommend this if you can. There is public parking at Petco Park (if it is still called that) and there are shuttle buses to many hotels.
If you are making a whole big family vacation to San Diego and only a few are going to the Con then there are many great resorts along Mission Bay (near Sea World and beaches) or at Coronado Island.
I have no advice for how to get into the popular panels other than be early. They do rerun the panels else where in the con, but I don't know if those reruns include the footage.
I would recommend going to regional cons like NY Comic-Con or Wondercon in San Francisco, or the Chicago Comic Con. I have enjoyed those as well.
