Definite schedules don't exist at Fanime; something crazy is bound to come up and 'cause you to miss something.
Instead of making a schedule, I list a few things that I'm definitely not going to miss e.g. concert, game show, etc... :)

I've got a suuuuper long list of what I'm hoping and have to go to and I'm not done organizing it all out yet. xP It'll definitely be more than I can manage of course, and I'll always allow for changes in plans but I do intend to plan out in general most of what I want to hit.
I attack my schedule with several highlighter colors. One color is for events that I will definitely attend. Then I use one color for events that I would like to see if I am free. And finally I use one for events that sound cool but I can easily skip (video rooms often fall into this category).
That way I am all set. I can plan for the big events and them make quick decisions on the rest depending on circumstances. I almost always have some place I can go sit down even if its 4 am in the morning. I fill the rest of the time with all the open ended events like the game room, artist alley, dealer room, swap meet and maid cafe.
