MegaCon Orlando May 24-27 2018 (Orange County Convention Center)
MegaCon Orlando Creates the Ultimate Cosplay Lineup
For those of you who may be new to conventions, one of the many draws is the chance to meet some of your favorite celebrities. From Avengers like Chris Evans to Disney Princesses such as Jodi Benson, conventions present the one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet, chat, and take photos with your idols. But not only that, conventions also book cosplayers in what is typically called Cosplay Alley. Here, you get the the same chance to meet your cosplay idols and get autographs and selfies. And this year, MegaCon did what no other convention has done before: they created the ultimate cosplay lineup.
Whether you’re a big or small time cosplayer, everyone has the opportunity to be a guest in MegaCon’s Cosplay Alley. It simply requires an application and MegaCon filters through those to book anyone from highly requested to up-and-coming cosplay guests. And MegaCon absolutely hit the nail on the head with this year’s cosplay lineup. Here are just a few of the cosplayers convention go-ers have the opportunity to meet at MegaCon 2018:
