A quick heads up that most of the guests will be leaving at 3PM today. Make sure to swing by for your last minute hello's and autographs!

Autograph policies vary by guest. Please check with Guest Relations in the autograph area for eligible signing items. We recently updated our Funko Pop autograph policy for Japanese guests only. Due to separate autograph opportunities and pricing structures for these items, Funko Pops cannot be accommodated through Youmacon's special autograph pricing program. This does not apply to all guests, and domestic guest policies remain unchanged. We apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

We would like to introduce everyone to our Charity Ball performers, Bryan Guarnuccio on Flute and Onur Alakavuklar on Classical Guitar! They also have a very special message for everyone attending Charity Ball! Step into an evening of elegance, mystery, and music, where melodies from centuries past meet the enchanting atmosphere of the ballroom. Friday's musical journey will take us from one country to another, and from one century to the next, exploring the rich traditions of dance across cultures and generations. From the refined courts of Renaissance Europe and the graceful waltzes of the Romantic era to the passionate rhythms of Latin America, each selection reveals a different chapter in the history of music and dance. As the evening unfolds, we invite you to follow the rhythm, embrace the atmosphere, and let the music become part of your own story on the dance floor.
