I'll be arriving in NY late Friday morning/early afternoon. How early does the line for badges begin forming, and how much time should I expect to be waiting in line?
-
My guess is a couple hours before the time registration opens, which I think is usually 6Pm or thereabouts. Line is typical of lines at all cons at registration -- that is LOOONG. Most people want badges as soon as possible so they don't miss any programming they might be interested in.
However if you have a physical disability, they will make sure you don't have to stand. They usually work people with physical limitations into the front of the line.

Just like Pansity said, if you want to be in the main room for the beginning of things you'll want to get in line asap and expect to be there for a couple hours. If you don't care about the first couple things, like the first hour or so, just hang out somewhere (room, bar etc...) then stroll up after the main room opens up and get your badge when the line is gone. That's what all my friends and I do. Of course, we've gone to these things since the late 80's/early 90's, so we're pretty jaded anyway, LOL! The BAR is our favorite place to be, for most of the weekend! And the cool thing is, most of the stars show up there sooner or later. >:D

LOL! Hey, we need to get a 'fridge in out room LdyAnne. I mean, where ELSE are we going to keep our alcohol chilled? 8) We can tell the hotel one of us has medicine that needs to be refrigerated and I think they have to give you one for free even! We did that a few years ago w/Karlenfan who DID have medicine at the time that needed to be refrigerated and I don't recall us having to pay for it. ;)
Word of advice cousins, go to the local liquor store and stock up on your own booze 'cause the bar is expensive! 8)
