So yet another Megaplex has come and gone and having waited until some of the PCD has ebbed away i thought id make a customary con report about it.

So i went to Megaplex on thursday and stayed till Monday morning. And for those of you have read my last con report for last years Megaplex im happy to say things went ALOT better. Alot of improvements were made to the con and there were some changes to my experience whic ill get into here.

First of all the improvements. As you may know Megaplex was held yet again at the Doubletree Orlando Resort at SeaWorld, which if you remember from my last report twas met with mixed reviews by the attendees last year due to outdoor only access to very part of the con space and the spread out feel of the con activities and room block. Now just to explain why that happened, the hotel was undergoing improvements in the form of an expansion to their conference and convention space which included an additional ballroom and panel space. However due to storms like Hurricane Matthew progress was delayed, even further after a failed code inspection which left the expansion unfinished come con time. This time around the construction was finished and its definitely what the con needed. It allowed for the dealers room and panels to be relocated from the lobby area building into the new con space thereby centralizing the con alot more. Another improvement was the registration badge pickup. Rather then have all the badge tiers line up and collect at once they gave each tier a 1/2 hour interval before starting the next tier. This made for less crowding and faster badge pickup, me only being in line for 10 minutes once sponsor opened.

So as i said, things were better and different for me this year, one of which being that i had one of the closest rooms to the con space, being in the building next to the con center. Last year my room was all the way on the opposite end of the hotel complex and i had to walk for like 5 to 10 minutes to get to the con space. This year was just a case of stepping out of my room, going down stairs and walking across a walkway and into the building. The only real walk i had to take was a minute or so to the tower building to go to th con suite. Another thing that was different was that i roomed by myself. Normally for Megaplex of any other con ive been to i usually room with friends, but this time they couldnt make it either due to money or boycotting the hotel. Honestly even tho there was a bit of loneliness every now and then in my room it was nice to have a space to myself where i could unwind. I also got to meet and see alot of the furry you-tubers i watch like Majira, Marks Barks, Kero the Wolf, Ace Of Hearts Fox, Quartz Husky, and so on. It was really cool having them all in one spot and i did get to talk to them a lil bit, especially Ace of Hearts Fox. Him and his GF are so cool! I also got to meet our GOH, Paco Panda. Hea a really sweet guy, a great fursuiter and an awesome artist!

So besides that i really didn't do much at Megaplex other than fursuiting, the parade, the pool party, etc. I've never been known to blow cash in the dealers hall or artist alley. I didnt go offsite to eat much or see the sights. I didn't go to any room parties, didn't bring anyone back to my room for snuggles or vica versa, didn't engage in any paw play even at the actual paw panel (tho that was mostly due to be being drowsy from a headache and the Advil i was taking for it). But honestly tho im not too bothered by it. at the end of the day it was just a getaway from the stresses ive had lately at home.

All in alll i had a fun time and im definitely looking forward to next year. For those who didn't like the current hotel worry no more. Megaplex is moving to a new spot and its bigger, and WAY better. Its the Caribe Orlando Hotel and Resort, a beautiful complex with three room buildings filled with suites as well as private villa buildings, and a killer pool area with waterfall and slide! I definitely cant wait and hopefully this will be a long term spot for the con.
