Grand Ballroom for Panel Programming. We will do our best to keep groups together; however, if space is limited, you may be asked to limit your group to just one additional person. If you are using a wheelchair, you will be assigned to one of several designated sections located throughout the Ballroom. If the panel requires a ticket to enter, the same is expected for ADA.
*Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so ADA seating may not be available if you arrive at the last minute to get to a seat for the panel.
Photo Ops
We will have an ADA waiting area. Please arrive at the ADA Waiting Area 15 minutes before your scheduled Photo Op, as space is limited.
In Photo Ops
We will keep your group together. When the celebrity or group is ready, ADA groups will be given special consideration to enter, as space permits. After you get your Photo Op and pick up the print, you can leave the Photo Op area! If you are using a wheelchair and would like to stand for your Photo Op, you can request to have the wheelchair moved out of the picture and returned to you when the photo is complete. You may have four (4) people per Photo Op. Babies under one year old are not counted.
Celebrity Row/Autographs
Unfortunately, we cannot allow priority signings at the conventions. Given the limited time guests are available for signing, fans cannot use lines other than those for which they are ticketed. Please line up according to your ticket type.
We recommend that someone within your group wait in line for you. When your group reaches the front of the line, you may rejoin them for your signing. We will have some seating for those waiting for their person in line.
Portable stools are also recommended. Many affordable options are available on Amazon or sporting goods stores. *They are also allowed on the convention floor.
Lines are wheelchair and scooter accessible and may be used while waiting in line.
We also have an FAQ for wheelchair rentals in the area.
If you would like to get a “selfie” with the celebrity, and they allow it, the volunteer or your line buddy can use your phone to take a picture of you. Please check your photo to ensure it is to your liking before leaving the celebrity booth.
Please reference the ADA section for local wheelchair rentals.
