Quoted from gweempose:You would have been even more blindsided if the free play area was closed as well. This was the first year that it was open during the banquet. I agree that the vendor hall should be kept open. The main problem is that a lot of the exhibitors and Expo staff are at the banquet.
2nd year, free play was open last year. I got called out of the banquet last year for a problem with White Water.
