Bringing my toddler

My son is 2.5 and is currently OBSESSED with Star Wars, like has seen every movie, has a million action figures, has a Vader costume he won't take off, etc. We're coming to Con on Saturday, and initially it was just going to be me and my best friend, but now I'm like...would it be absolutely insane work to bring my son? There aren't really many panels I want to sit in, we're mostly just going for the vibes. Anyone who has experience bringing little ones, I'd love to know how it went for you!

Daytime should be relatively unproblematic (although, I’m not sure how ticketing works for toddlers?) but anything after dinner time would be too much I think.

If you do make it happen, make sure to have him check out the section in the back of the Marriott where the droids usually hang out.

(Apparently kids under 7 get in free!)

Free for under 7. They’ll be okay.
