We were leaving Orlando on Saturday morning, and we got caught in the traffic for MegaCon. It took us 15 minutes to get about 10 car lengths, just so that we could detour. We had no idea what was going on with all that traffic. I'm surprised the city didn't have a traffic cop at the scene. Anyway, now I know what the hold up was. Great video, Jay!
The Undertaker: for just a photo with him it was $250, and if you wanted his autograph it was another $250, so in all someone would’ve be spending $500+ on the Undertaker. But I get why it’s expensive, he just retired and he rarely goes to conventions. Not to mention he’s a legend who wrestled for WWF for 30+ years
LOL I saw myself in your video! I was the Vi with the Gauntlets when you were going down the escalator and I was on the left. Then at the end when you were looking over the whole room I was over by one of the pillars with my Caitlyn and Jinx.
Oh Wow Dumbledore looks So Real 🤩🧙♂️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 In hooked on your videos it’s a Good time and a Good laugh watching your channel!!! I’m a new Subscriber and I need to get to one of these Mega Cons!!!
Thank you for this! As someone stuck way over the ocean and unable to go to the american cons it feels like I got to see and experience the atmopshere here
I went on friday, and was lucky enough to get there early enough where there werent too many people, but it got alot more crowded as it went on. The cosplays were awesome tho!!!!
i also went on Saturday!! there was sooo many people but supper fun! but it was my first so i dint do as much and left a little early but i loveee this video cuz i dint have time to see every little thing XDD i cant wait to go next year
Another great convention video! GandALF was epic, such an awesome idea!! I loved his little stuffed kitty! Really glad you got there early so you could cover more stuff! The Star Wars stuff is always awesome! The Megacon exclusive stuff was actually really rad, I loved the Mickey and Minnie figures and of course the Batman animated series stuff! Def the best Batman ever created! Aw, always good to see Brad and Amanda! Sean Astin!! I don't care about many celebrities but I do love Sean Astin! Iconic! OHHH MYYY GOSHHHHHHH the person who was dressed as the adorabl scarecrow with the crows and the FREAKIN MICE IN THEIR POCKET!! That is so CUTEEEEE why isn't that me on a daily basis?!? I gotta check out that book! 13X Studios! Rick! The absolute BEST!! Can't wait to meet him in person someday! The TJ cult LOL. Oh he asked the lady if she wanted a selfie HA!!!! Yay Greg! Man, this looks so awesome, I really wish I was there! Did Greg ask Hammond "where is the ice cream?" LOL! The droid flower arrangements are beautiful! Awwwwwwwwwwwwww look at all the Gungan legossss so CUTE!!!! Greg is on it! He spotted the Jar Jar! Oh wow, not gonna lie, teared up a bit at that marriage proposal. They look so happy :') We need to get you to watch the Harry Potter movies... not cause they're good, but because you just gotta watch. The Emperor was amazing, love that you asked him if he knew the story of Darth Plaugus the Wise lol! Oh my gosh, she gave you a tooth haha!! I love it!! The Jar Jar maid was confusing but props for being Jar Jar nonetheless. Wow, looks just so busy there, I can see why your anxiety was going crazy. That is so cool Greg got to meet the guy he wanted!! I'm really happy for him! This was one of your best convention videos yet babe, wow!!!I loved it!!! Can't wait to do a huge one like this with you hopefully soon!!
I was there on Saturday with my daughter & it felt like the most crowded Con ever, even though this was only my 3rd one! I felt like a sardine in that crowd 😂 we had fun though meeting all of the Cobra Kai cast especially Ralph Macchio for the photo opp😍
I was there and waited 3 and half hours for Kevin Conroy's autograph (he was awesome, very sweet and funny I went to the panel as well which was INSANE he sang "If I'm Blue" from Justice league animated series) and 4 and half for Maile Flanagan from Naruto, Met Justin Cook who was awesome as well (Voice of Red riot Myhero academia and Yusukr from Yuyu Hakusho . Also bought some of those acrylic art pieces (Asta,Ichigo and Kakashi) from Ozzy. Glad you had a great time as well :)
Jay!!! That was so awesome to watch! MegaCon is so much fun! Hopefully one day I can go back there. The cosplayers looked amazing. Glad to see Greg in your vlog and he was able to meet David Eckstein.
Dude, I went there once to get an autograph and I felt the same way as you when it came to the crowd size....first time I ever felt like that and I had to leave....way too many people crammed together I was freaking out
dang I was there cosplaying as the Strangers with my friend, was sorta hoping I'd show up in your video somehow lol, that convention was absolutely packed it was crazy.
WOW! is all i can say about this video, so many awseome cosplay! that Lord Helmet Costume at the Start wow! and the guy looked like him under the mask dang! and gosh the famous ppl there i would do anything to meet half of them :O and yikes i hope u stayed safe with that place being so dang crowed... if i went to a con like that i would of taken like 10 showers in one day! lol oof! Anyway I hope you had a Great Weekend Jay and Hope to see a vlog of Spooky Empire That is one of my fav Cons to Watch When ppl upload it
Hey Tampa Jay. This was an awesome video! I'm compiling a pretty long list of things to do in Florida when I get back there. Mostly from watching your vlogs. I'm not a horror movie fan, but I love Star Wars and Marvel and some of the other stuff. The only thing is I don't know if I could handle the mass of people. I'm not big on crowds. But cheers to you for surviving that. It was crazy! Stay safe out there!
@@alexslusher16 No, I got Undertaker, Alexa Bliss, Jerry Lawler, and Monica Rial. I was gonna get Dante Bosco but had to leave due to my dog being home alone for so long.
I used to go to this cone quite a bit, but lately I've kept to the smaller cons and frankly, after the Health issues of the last few years I don't want to be in such huge crowds. The last Megacon convention I went to was the last where the original owner ran. A year later she sold it to a Canadian company that runs A dozen cons around the world. BTW< the Tower of T-shirts has been there since the early 200s!
In the Megacon Orlando FB group, DOZENS of people are reporting that they got COVID. I even caught a cold from the event and managed to get by without COVID but still.
I agree it was ridiculous. I didn’t get to do much on Saturday. Only thing I did pretty much was wait in line for photo ops, wait in line at Giancarlo Esposito table for a table photo and autograph, and attend the hobbit panel
When Adam went to Dezerland it was pointed out by the guy working there that it's DEHZ- ehr-land because the guy's name is Michael Dezer, which was originally Dezertzov.
Overcrowded is right. In addition to the parking being a complete mess, photo ops were too. Had a photo op for Giancarlo Esposito at 3:30, we didn’t actually get in to see him until 5:30…very unorganized this year and I definitely think they oversold on tickets. But, I made the best out of it and had fun in the end! Just hopefully they clean that up next year
saturday was alright, aside from the fact i was in traffic for 3 hours in a car with no ac in 94 degree weather they definitely could’ve done better this year, it felt like all they cared about was the money instead of the experience
0:19 it is a big convention center, but the East/West Councourse on the other side is far bigger and they should have had MegaCon there. They keep alternating concourses. The North/South Concourse is just not big enough to holdegaCon anymore
Theres some thing i do miss about the pandemic. The reminders to wash ur hands keep distance and limited crowds. Everywhere u go is packed elbow to elbow now and its pretty alarming cause the realness that u can still get sick is there. But it Looks pretty awesome though. Never was at one. Great vid bro now break up these cons ur goin to n get back to a rays game:)
Dang it! Was there from open to close and missed you Jay! 😖 my first MegaCon ever and it was EPIC! Got several autographs and photo ops too. Even with the large crowds later in the day I could still appreciate the cosplay and for relief I’d go up stairs. I’m learning! Hopefully go next year too!
Yes i been there for 4 day and it's was overcrowded and it's smell like cheek, it's doesn't help the cringe was overload but It's super fun but serious just do local convention.
Saturday we were at comic con Liverpool we had kreese the line for photo etc was massive so I snook down the side and got my pic we also had smallviille grease vampire diaries and more
I was there Saturday (dressed as Jolyne from Jojo's) and it was soooo packed but people were incredibly nice and amazing despite the crowds. I loved the convention and can't wait to go to another!! Thanks for getting good footage of the con. 😊
I've been binge watching MegaCon vids all weekend. This is HANDS DOWN the best video!!! Thank you Jay. Glad you had a wonderful time 🙌
Thanks Jessica that’s a mega awesome complement. Appreciate you watching glad to hear ya enjoyed it.
I'm the Predator towards the end, cool to get to see myself on video. I definitely heard when you said "If it bleed's". Great job on the video...
You’re the best predator I’ve ever seen great cosplay! So glad you found the video.

Good times had by all. Ooohhh Yeah. Uh huh. Dig it. ☝🏻

I was there yesterday. And it was super pack. Definitely had a great time 😉
That Guardian from Zelda Breath Of The Wild is friggin AWESOME!!
I still remember meeting Sean at Disney he was so happy I recognized him because I was the first to do so and it was close to the end of the day
I love your horror convention visits, I think I will watch them all.
You are ready to rock 🤘🏽🤘🏽 on at Mega con
🔥Diggin the convention coverage Jay.. and that was pretty cool that Greg got his photo and autograph..👍🏻
Thanks Ferg appreciate ya
Love Rolad Dahl's The Witches movie!! Great convention vlog!

1: Are you aware Gina Carano was a guest at Megacon this weekend?

Another great con Hoasted by TJ. Thanks, TJ. Looks like lots of great stuff there. Man, I got to get to one of these someday.
That boy In the city west Orlando 407🔥🔥🔥
my legs still hurt from walking around so much lol megacon was so fun
The Star Wars area was off the charts!
Gina Carano's Autograph Line was also off the charts.
I was there and waited 3 and half hours for Kevin Conroy's autograph (he was awesome, very sweet and funny I went to the panel as well which was INSANE he sang "If I'm Blue" from Justice league animated series) and 4 and half for Maile Flanagan from Naruto, Met Justin Cook who was awesome as well (Voice of Red riot Myhero academia and Yusukr from Yuyu Hakusho .

Jay!!! That was so awesome to watch! MegaCon is so much fun! Hopefully one day I can go back there. The cosplayers looked amazing. Glad to see Greg in your vlog and he was able to meet David Eckstein.
It was an awesome event. I was there Friday and ran into Micah. Was hoping to see you too. Great video and great times. Thanks for sharing 😊
So crowded 🫤great job covering this.👍💕😊
Dude, I went there once to get an autograph and I felt the same way as you when it came to the crowd size....first time I ever felt like that and I had to leave....way too many people crammed together I was freaking out
I had a panic attack on Saturday. Got home and we both had gotten sick. Too many people. Why did they not open up the wall? It was insane.
This is why I always recommend going the first day early. Especially on a Friday. Way less people usually.
dang I was there cosplaying as the Strangers with my friend, was sorta hoping I'd show up in your video somehow lol, that convention was absolutely packed it was crazy.
Me too with the escalators
Wow huge event, looks like lots of fun. I know how you feel about escalators, I have a fear of elevators lol. Enjoyed the video 👍. Have a great week.
WOW! is all i can say about this video, so many awseome cosplay! that Lord Helmet Costume at the Start wow! and the guy looked like him under the mask dang! and gosh the famous ppl there i would do anything to meet half of them :O and yikes i hope u stayed safe with that place being so dang crowed... if i went to a con like that i would of taken like 10 showers in one day! lol oof!

Looks about on par with SDCC and NYCC for Saturday crowds. I’d say slightly less crowded actually but still crowded. Good video!
Love seeing the cosplay! 😎👍🏻
As always great video! 👍
Thank you
I’m goin next weekend I’m excited !!!
My family will be heading your way from Michigan on Wednesday night can't wait to be in Florida....
I love Maygacon!
Yo! Thats me at 6:57 in the purple shirt! It took so long to get signatures that i couldn't get all that i wanted.
Did you get a signature from Gina Carano?
@@alexslusher16 No, I got Undertaker, Alexa Bliss, Jerry Lawler, and Monica Rial.
I was gonna get Dante Bosco but had to leave due to my dog being home alone for so long.
It was anazing .I loved the 007 car and
What a convention, it is crazy good.
If that guy from ghost busters had Harold Ramis' hairdo, he's look a lot like him.
Great video! You seemed to get a mixture of everything even the Grand High Witch!
Fun video!
The big blue guy is my dad and I ❤️ glad we could creep you out a bit
Yeah it was a very busy day
That wasn't crowded compared to NYC comic con. but cool stuff to see in your video!
Love the vids jay
hi. Tampa. jay. good. to see another video. from you. I hope. is. well. and. thanks. for. great. video. Have a. good. week
Did they allow u to take picture with all those cosplay or did they charge for it
Had a great time there! Definitely needs some adjustments next year tho. Felt very understaffed
Yeah it was totally unorganized. First time I have experienced the total unorganized staff especially for photo ops
I used to go to this cone quite a bit, but lately I've kept to the smaller cons and frankly, after the Health issues of the last few years I don't want to be in such huge crowds.

How fortunate was that for Greg! I mean, what are the odds? Good for him.
Saturday was absolutely ridiculous, 1.5hours to park, it was so packed we left after a hour. You literally could not move on the floor.
I agree it was ridiculous. I didn’t get to do much on Saturday. Only thing I did pretty much was wait in line for photo ops, wait in line at Giancarlo Esposito table for a table photo and autograph, and attend the hobbit panel
I’m still recovering! Was awesome hanging out and seeing all the wonderful thiiiiiiings! even with the crowds it was totally worth it!
I’d do it all over again buddy
, that was a great time! Had a blast with you.
all of the stuff that means comicon. We all nerd a con to keep us going.
When Adam went to Dezerland it was pointed out by the guy working there that it's DEHZ- ehr-land because the guy's name is Michael Dezer, which was originally Dezertzov.
Like all your videos tampa jay
i think i found myself in here lol uploading mine now xD
Another great video! Looked like a great time did you buy a lot?
I REALLY wanted to see Gwendoline Christie..
I was there on Sunday it was my first convention and I had a blast
Ditto
just completed my first ever full MegaCon four day premium! what a rush!
You should’ve acknowledged Scott on Tape at 11:46 with that Auston Matthews pop figure
Overcrowded is right. In addition to the parking being a complete mess, photo ops were too. Had a photo op for Giancarlo Esposito at 3:30, we didn’t actually get in to see him until 5:30…very unorganized this year and I definitely think they oversold on tickets. But, I made the best out of it and had fun in the end! Just hopefully they clean that up next year
Yeah I got a table photo with Giancarlo and got his autograph. Way better than doing the photo op. Glad I did that instead of paying for the photo op
Great weekend but yea the crowd level was overwhelming at times.
saturday was alright, aside from the fact i was in traffic for 3 hours in a car with no ac in 94 degree weather
they definitely could’ve done better this year, it felt like all they cared about was the money instead of the experience
0:19 it is a big convention center, but the East/West Councourse on the other side is far bigger and they should have had MegaCon there. They keep alternating concourses. The North/South Concourse is just not big enough to holdegaCon anymore
12:28 oh no not these guys again 🤣
Yea the traffic was slammed.
Dude, No Way! I met Billy West at MetaCon 2013 Here in Minnesota!❤️📺🎶👍🏻
Didn’t get to meet him this year due to the total lack of organization by the staff and crowd
Ahhh Tampa bay Jay im so jealous , wish I was there, your vids rock man !
We need a cris n jay reunion here soon!
Theres some thing i do miss about the pandemic. The reminders to wash ur hands keep distance and limited crowds.

You should show more of the celebrities in your megacon videos
Like Gina Carano
You’re not allowed to film them. I always do the best I can. Just so you know for when you go to a Convention.
Yet another con where I missed Woo and Jay... Damn it.
