Hail, fellow Adventurers! I procured this fine necklace and a set of matching earrings from a jewelry vendor at DC 2025. Whilst questing in the great city of New York, one of my earrings decided the Big Apple brought it the most joy of all the places we'd been, and it leapt from my ear with nary a warning or farewell. Unable to locate said earring to negotiate the terms of a possible return, I decided to seek out the original vendor to procure a new pair of earrings to match the necklace. However, I was unable to locate the vendor in DC 2026. Perhaps I overlooked them. Do any of you honorable Adventurers recognize this work? Can you tell me who crafted these fine jewelries so that I may try to locate them in the interwebs? Many thanks in advance!! 🩷

Sorry if this isn’t the best way to do this, but I’m looking for the vendor that sells the credit card sticker/decals. I’m not sure what their name is but they’ve been in the vendor hall each time I’ve been, I just have’ bought from them, so I imagine they’ve been there a while. I was hoping to see if they had an online shop I could order from.

2027 will be my 3rd con. Very excited, but I’m curious about badge pickup. Can I pick up other peoples badges when I go on Thursday for badge pickup? I’m asking mostly because some people going with me will have single day passes on different days. Can I pickup everyone’s pass at once? Thanks for the help.

As the title says, DragonCon 2027 will be my first time at this convention. I got a room at the Barclay. I arrive Tuesday. What will I need to do? I understand The after parties are where it's at. I've heard of the bunny hutch.

I've only stayed at the Omni in the past and not super familiar with the area hotels that are easy walks to the convention, any recommendations?

I royally messed up and scored nothing for the hunger games. Normally I would not be worried because the non-host hotels constantly open up spots throughout the year at a DC rate.

This year I panicked because there are too many things going on in Atlanta that weekend. The downtown hotels are on crack if they think I'm going to pay $800/night.

I figured my best solution would be to book a hotel directly across from the MARTA and take the train there and back. I settled on a hotel right across from the medical center (perimeter center). Apparently there's a walkway that connects to Marta from the hotel. It fully refundable until the day before. It was also only $135/night.

I don't do cosplay. I don't stay out past 10 pm. The hotel is Hyatt House Atlanta/Perimeter Center. Has anyone chosen to stay in this area before? I go to DC alone and I needed a safe quick walk to my hotel at night. It has $15/day parking. I know it takes about 25 minutes via Marta to Peachtree Center. This isn't a big deal for me.

I'd like to hear thoughts from people who have stayed outside of downtown and any issues they didn't anticipate.

It's my first time not getting a hotel within walking distance.

Hi all,

My emotions are running a little high right now and this is my first post in this subreddit and I’m at work so I apologize for any typos or mistakes here. I made a big, stupid mistake last week on the 15th during the hunger games for the overflow hotels and I was hoping I could get some help to find a solution. In my rush to secure a room, I didn’t do my due diligence and read the policy on cancellations. I just assumed that I wouldn’t be charged upfront and if I had to cancel, I could simply cancel but I was wrong in my case. I booked a room with the Hyatt Centric Midtown and their policy is no refunds and I can’t even transfer the room over to someone else. I’m aware of Facebook group where I can trade with someone else who needs a room but now I’m worried because they said I can’t change my name on the room. Is there like a workaround for this? I asked a friend if she and her husband want it so I was thinking maybe I just go with them and check in with them and then leave? This is like my second time ever booking a hotel room and my second Dragoncon so I’m really clueless about a lot of things if that wasn’t obvious… I just really don’t want to live with the fact that I wasted so much money and can’t get it back… so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

$70 a night +tip just to have someone else park your car is ridiculous and we all know it. I'm tried of feeling like I'm being milked for every penny by these hotels and am looking for suggestions/parking garages where we could keep our car for much less per day.

Obvs Im not from GA, im just wondering...

If eny one has eny of my cosplay I would appreciate if you could send them to me I didn't get meny

UPDATE: Turns out there's was something they could do about it because I now have a reservation at the Aloft again. It seems like this was a Marriott software problem, and the local staff at the Aloft are working really hard to make it right for people, so kudos to them.

Edit 2: typo Original post below.

I called to book at Aloft and they said the local hotel staff wouldn't be doing bookings on the phone. They also said that their website was having issues. Rooms never showed up for me on the website, so I called Marriott corporate booking, and got a room. Problem was they couldn't get Wednesday, Thursday, or Monday nights, so I could only get 3 nights. I took it hoping I could add Thursday to it. I talked to a staff member at Aloft who said their system would refresh Friday and I'd be able to see if a Thursday was available. All good.

Then I get an email that because I'm not booked for the 4 night minimum they are canceling my room unless I email back by 5 pm on Friday (tomorrow) what night i want to add. No problem, I email I want Thursday. But it turns out that despite saying in email I had until tomorrow, they have already canceled my room and resold it. I called, and they tell me they did this to over 180 people, and can't do anything to fix it. Great work.

I think i missed somehting but i was ready to book a room at a few hotels and after refeshing the mian hotel resevation and the link. I got nothing all sold out in 10 mins

I was just trying to get a room this morning, first time participating in the Hotel Hunger Games. I fortunately managed to get a room at the Connally Hotel because it beats not having something or driving four hours total with a to and from trip from Atlanta. For those who had this hotel before, how exactly do you travel from there to the main five hotels? Because if I tried walking that (Google says a 21 minute walk), my feet would be obliterated before I got there. I see the hotel is located adjacent to the Five Points Marta Station.

Any tips or suggestions on how to get there without exhausting myself before getting there? Anything I need to know about the MARTA?

Thank y'all in advance!

Everything sells out within two minutes and I was already an hour late.....

FB has been all over the place with which overflows are sold out and which ones just haven't opened bookings yet. I am aware people are just probably fear mongering to scare people away from their 'coveted' hotels but like what ones actually aren't gonna be open until the 15th and what ones are just plain lies

So, after going to a few different cons over the last few years, I've finally stumbled upon dragoncon. How i didn't know about it until now, who knows. Saw that the most recent one ended not long ago and seeing as I have time to plan and save, Im thinking of attending for the first time next year. Before then, I just want to know as much about the con as possible. DO's and Don'ts, what to expect, etc. bombard me with info, i do not mind

Ok, so my husband and I have gone to 2 dragon cons, and been lucky enough to get a room through the hunger games.
We had no luck with the first two rounds, and with only one left…
I’m asking for suggestions if we don’t get one of these rooms.
We’re coming from out of state, so…any and all suggestions appreciated.
