Gathering has been submitted for Sunday, hope to everyone again!

Gathering has been submitted for Saturday, very excited to host again!

Waiting on the gathering forms, but this'll be Day 2/Saturday! Noon or afternoon timeslot, main focus is securing a large enough location first since last year was far too small.

Waiting on the gathering forms, but this is for Day 3/Sunday and hoping for around 4:00pm or 5:00pm!

Thank you for attending the Fanime 2023 gathering, we are excited to host again for Fanime 2024! Our gathering last year was Sunday at 3:00pm, however we are considering pushing it out a little later on Sunday to either 4:00pm or 5:00pm. I do not know how this will affect attendance as the Masquerade and Black & White Ball are that same evening. Please leave a comment if you have a preference for the time.

Also! We are trying to see if we can bring our own camera to share photos on a Google Drive shortly after the con.

We had an incredibly fun time hosting for Fanime 2023, and are excited to do it again for Fanime 2024! Due to the large turnout last year, I cannot promise, but I will try to get a larger location to fit all of us. I'm also trying to see if it's possible to bring our own camera to share photos on a Google Drive shortly after the con.

Was planning on wearing P3 FeMC on Saturday anyway, I'll try to see if I can make the gathering! :>

Gathering has been confirmed for Friday 5:00pm at G5!

This year G5 is at the "Idea tree" which I believe is the tree-like structure in the middle of the front entrance. Those also attending the Disney gathering the hour before simply need to walk up from the grass steps and you should be able to see us immediately.

We're a month away, very excited to see everyone!

We have been confirmed for Sunday, 3:00pm at G5!

A bit of trouble with the submission process, but crossing my fingers it'll be sorted out soon. I will update whether or not we are approved.

Hello! I submitted the gathering form over the weekend, hopefully we'll get a confirmed time soon!

Hi all! I submitted the gathering form over the weekend. Hoping to hear back from gathering staff soon!

This may be a game about villains, but remember to mind your manners and not step on any capes or else it will be off with your head!

Hi! I'm planning on hosting a "Disney Twisted Wonderland" gathering this year. If you're returning to host the Disney gathering for 2023, I'd love to know what time and location you're thinking of assuming it's on a Friday again. I imagine it'd be convenient for the Twist gathering to be after the Disney gathering for anyone that wants to attend both.

Please feel free to DM me if you'd like to discuss details, thanks!

Nice, both of those days work out for me so I'll be sure to attend!! I'll be Anzu and my friend plans to be Makoto \(° w ° )

I'm so glad to see that this gathering is back on, I was planning to wear Anzu to Fanime! Is there any estimate on potential dates/times yet? :)

Hello! I'm checking for interest whether or not to still hold the Vocaloid gathering for 2022. How comfortable is everyone with attending gatherings at cons? Are you still going, or intend to skip them? Due to Covid still existing, it will likely be an outdoor, masks-on gathering and we may skip the large group photos. As I am still concerned for everyone's health, I am wondering if it's best to just cancel.

Please let me know. As of now, I have not received much feedback so I am seriously considering canceling the gathering due to lack of interest.

I'd honestly prefer it to be either postponed to summer/fall or just cancelled with preordered badges refunded or honored for next year. Of course I'm going to be bummed out to miss a chance to see friends, but this is a safety/health concern and it's going to be hard to enjoy the con even if we're allowed back outside. The situation will still be all too recent.

I'm a gathering host and will try to advise everyone to spread out during photos, but I can't say I'm comfortable running my gathering/attending other gatherings under these conditions.

Hi! I've submitted the gathering application and am aiming for Saturday around 4:00pm. I'll update again once we're approved.

Also we are keeping an eye out for Fanime announcements regarding the COVID-19 situation. If Fanime is still held Memorial Day weekend, please be aware that people may not feel comfortable standing too close during group photos. Because of this, please especially make sure it's okay with another cosplayer if you want to pose holding hands, hugging, picking someone up, etc. (It's possible we might discourage this behavior, we are still deciding.)

This is truly an unusual situation, but we will do our best to make this gathering still work. In the meantime please try to stay safe and make smart decisions, not just for your own health but for the health of others.
