Exploring Central Florida Comic-Con 2024 — Day 1
I should’ve applied for a media pass, but c’est la vie… CFCC was bigger this year compared to the previous years.
It’s almost 11:30 AM and I finally make it to the venue, the RP Funding Center, that’s hosting CFCC 2024. I wanted to arrive earlier but I’m between cars right now so I opted to take the morning bus, though the schedule is different on the weekends.
This year’s CFCC is bigger than the last two CFCCs that I attended, respectively in 2021 and 2023 (I had to miss CFCC 2022 because of a broken arm from Judo practice), in the past. The company that holds the events, Nerd Street LLC, booked an additional room for additional guest panels.
As I enter through one of the building’s main entrances, it’s an exercise as I have to head across the hallway to another room where I’m directed to another hallway which takes me to the main room where I pick up my bracelet (which is my event pass).
The number of attendees is higher this year, too, especially with the special guests that were secured for CFCC 2024. I knew the guests were big but I didn’t realize how big when there were lines that flowed from one room and into the hallway. This would be like that until the crowd gradually dies out for the night as it…
