This year there were panels and multiple dance parties hosted Thursday night, which was kind of a bummer because Thursday is our DCF Meet &amp; Greet day. We rolled into Atlanta around 1 pm with my sister Stacey in tow, checked into our room at the Westin and unpacked while Karl drove the car to the airport to park the car. Parking near the airport is only $7-10 a night as opposed to the $35-40+ the hotels and nearby parking garages charge during DragonCon.<\/p>\n<p>We stayed in room 4003 on the 40th floor of the Westin and had a lovely view of Centennial Park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>DragonCon is switching to a new registration system this year so for the first time in years, we had to stand in line for a while, about 45 minutes, to get our badge. In honor of Stan Lee DragonCon included a really nice Stan Lee lanyard with everyone&#8217;s badge. I thought that was really cool, plus it looks good.<\/p>\n<h3>Hello Atlanta!<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Westin Check-in<\/li>\n<li>DragonCon Badge Pick-up in the Sheraton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div

It was great to catch up with everyone. Karl and I brought a bunch of door prizes, and Mindi brought the awesome grand prize, a custom made dragon scale cup. Mortal was the lucky winner. Afterward, we walked with Trathor to the Sheraton to pick up Karl&#8217;s 2019 DCF shirt and then walked around taking photos. We saw quite a few really cool cosplays. My favorite was a Top Gun cosplay group. The Danger Zone guy had a radio playing the song. So fun!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-6134 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
