There is a very good chance that you will meet a fair number of the same bronies from Babs and many more. There are no after dark 18+ panels/vendors, EFNW is a little more kid friendly, The Guest of Honor is list piling up which is great for playing Pony Feud. A M.A. Larson vs. G.M. Berrow showdown seems inevitable. I pretty sure Nicole Oliver will be doing karaoke again on Saturday for the third straight year. Sketches from a Hat is my favorite panel every year. Don't forget to check out the free table, new stuff gets added to it all the time.
The hotel is connected to a mall via skybridges with tons of places to eat out or hit up either of the two nearby grocery stores.
