The Reflections of Evil Trade Event Schedule has been released. Reflections is the ticketed (now Sold Out) trade event that will take place at Epcot from September 13-15, 2013. We have a full explained page here.
The event will kick off with registration and product pick up on Thursday, September 12 at the Coronado Springs Convention Center, Veracruz A Ballroom from 10am-7pm. If you choose early pick up during RSP, your merchandise will be here. If not, you will have to pick it all up when you go to the event. Just a note, this process can take a couple hours. I don’t know exactly when the best time is, maybe mid afternoon? I went at open last year to pick up my stuff before work and had to leave after waiting over an hour in line and come back in the evening for another hour plus wait. However, two years ago I went in the evening and walked right up to the pick up table. There is also a free guest trading area that is accessible only after you pick up your event credentials.
The weekend schedule falls into line pretty much as expected. There will be trading areas with Cast Members and guests, games, auctions, meet and greets and signings on all three days. Saturday will include a “Pin Talk”, a look ahead to upcoming pins. Sunday will included “Vinylmation Talk”, a look ahead to upcoming Vinylmation. Friday will include a “Villains Review” and “Villains Mix & Mingle.” I assume this is some sort of a show and then character meet and greet. We will be talking extensively about the schedule and a guide to the event on podcast #132.
Do Disney Store vinylmation artists come to the vinylmation signing, or is it just Disney Design Group vinylmation artists?
Just DDG. Disney Store artists often have their own signings at stores. Usually in California.
Is there a list of artists that usually come every year? I’m trying to figure out what vinyls to bring to get signed.
The artists who design products for the event are the only ones who sign at the event. In this case, we should see Thomas Scott, Ron Cohee and Eric Caszatt.
Is the trading area only for people attending the event or open to the general public?
Trading area is only for event attendees.
The popcorn series, Ursula, will the artist for this piece be there? Since she is a villan.
To my understanding, Maria Clapsis designed this wave of Popcorns. She did not design any vinyl for the event (that we know of) but she is normally at trading events so may be here by default. Not necessarily for Popcorns.
