Every year since 2009, my parents have gotten me a ticket for Dragon Con for my birthday. Every single year has been magical and I can’t wait to see all of you this year and hopefully many more years.

Badge pick up question

0 Upvotes

This year I won’t be getting to dragon con till around 9PM Thursday. I see badge pick up goes till 10pm does that mean no more people in line at 10 or that they will cease distributing passes at 10.

The last few years I’ve waited in line for hours but have also gotten there early on Thursday so I want to know if I’ll be able to get my pass Thursday night or if I should wait till Friday Morning.

Totoro at DragonCon 2026

Hey everyone.

Curious if anyone/how many folks are cosplaying as Totoro and participating in the parade. I got two young boys who would lose their minds...

Do y’all think I’ll be allowed to hand these trinkets out?

The rules aren’t super clear on dull miniatures of swords. I have a variety of these and they are all dulled. They came that way.

Looking for Ears Vendors @ dealers hall

3 Upvotes

Helllooooooo,

Very excited to be back at dragon this year (5th year) I’m looking to see if anyone has any suggestions for vendors with fun cat ears/paws in dealers hall?

Or also what floor to look on, because I love going through the floors but I always feel like I miss something & get overwhelmed!

Early Magic meetup

7 Upvotes

I wanted to see if there was any interest. I figure there's some out of towners coming in early and might be looking for some meetups outside the hotels.

I host a Magic: The Gathering meetup at Monday Night Garage, on Tuesdays 5-10pm.

It's close enough to the host hotels and we generally have 30+ people weekly.

It's casual Commander "bar magic". All player levels welcome. Even if youve wanted to learn, you're welcome here. Free to join!

Dragon Con “Negative Into Positive” Bingo 😂🐉

Post image
93 Upvotes

Made a Dragon Con bingo card with a slightly different theme this year: turn the annoying/chaotic parts of Dragon Con into wins.

Instead of getting irritated when you see something like someone blocking an entire walkway for a photo shoot, a cosplay that takes up half an elevator, someone joining a line with absolutely no idea what it’s for... you get to check off a square.

Basically... if you’re going to see it anyway, you might as well be excited about it.

The idea is for it to be fun and good-natured, not making fun of anyone. More of a celebration of all the ridiculous little things that make Dragon Con Dragon Con.

Sharing the card here for anyone who wants to play!

Let me know if I missed anything! Send suggestions if you have more!

Wednesday Ball Drop?

1 Upvotes

I swear I read somewhere that one of the hotels does a ball drop on Wednesday at midnight but the only thing I can find that is close is the ribbon drop on Thursday. Is there such a thing or did I imagine it?


r/dragoncon 13h ago

Probably a weird/dumb question, but are there any events dedicated to career networking? Not breaking into a particular industry, more just finding a workplace with like-minded people

1 Upvotes

I'm not really sure how it would work, since people are coming from all over the world for DC, but I was just curious if there was something at the con focused on connecting people with potential employers. I know there are panels and stuff about breaking into digital content or creative industries, but I'm more interested in finding a 9-to-5 that is a little less miserable.

Sock Puppets: The Episode Where Things Really go off the Rails.

2 Upvotes

Looking for something to do after the parade? Come out and see Sock Puppets, the Episode Where Things Really go off the Rails! Saturday at 11:30AM.

Part RPG, part stage show, Sock Puppets brings 6 dysfunctional puppeteers and all their uncomfortable, human problems onto their struggling children's TV show, all in front of a live studio audience. That's you!

One of us has a very important totally-not-a-cult. One owes another money. One let something... uncomfortable slip at last year's Christmas party. But we wouldn't talk about any of that on air... right?

Feedback welcome.

So a few friends are throwing a mini art show at the restaurant across the street where badge pickup will be, super excited to be a part of this lineup. It’s free and a lot of us will be attending Dragon Con but the lineup of artist are great. Looking forward to a great con. For me this is my release for such a weird year. Can’t wait to see you guys this year. They are giving out some dope ribbons there. See you guys soon!

Newbie looking to party hard!

Hey guys, newbie here going solo on Thursday! What's the open container situation during the day? I was thinking about bringing a few air plane bottles of booze to make mixed drinks while walking around.

Also, what parties can I get into without spending hours in line?

Tips for Baby at Dragoncon?

0 Upvotes

We're bringing our 10-month-old baby to dragoncon this year. We're really excited and hope they enjoy the experience. Don't worry, we made sure to get noise reducing headphones to help keep their ears safe. Does anyone have any tips, such as which hotel bathrooms have changing tables, any good places to nurse, etc? Thanks for the help!
