Being an event newbie -- I will have to say depends. (March is our first pin event! )
We would only be able to attend the weekend portion. Doesn't it begin on week days?
Thursday afternoon/evening -- pick-up RSP merchandise, and take advantage of a very comfortable pintrading area. Last year this was all in a Beach Club ballroom.
Friday -- pick up RSP merchandise, full event activities -->> all at Epcot World Showplace.
Saturday/Sunday -- additional merchandise purchase, full event activities -->> all at Epcot World Showplace.
It hasn't been booked yet, but it is on our list. We do intend to be there. They made it a little early this year, but if all goes well we should be able to make it.
