While younglings are allowed at this event, we want to be very upfront that the first-year of Halcy-Con has been designed with adult superfans in mind and expect that the finalized event schedule will reflect this. Children 6 and under will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult with a paid badge. Ages 7 and up will need their own event badge to attend, and we ask that parents take an active role in monitoring their children’s activities. We will not be having a kids’ programming track nor designating any programming as specifically for children.

We scheduled Halcy-Con on Friday-Saturday to allow attendees a convenient park day on Sunday. Although it will not be an official Halcy-Con event, we are planning a Sunday, Oct 6 meetup in Galaxy’s Edge located in Disney Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. We hope to see you there!

No, this is a purely fan-created event. It is not sponsored or endorsed by either Disney or Lucasfilm, Ltd.

Because Halcy-Con is a very tailored, unique-boutique experience we need to take and review panel/exhibit/vendor/sponsor submissions quickly in order to craft the specific programming elements the badgeholders want most. In fairness, we need to be able to give those people wanting to participate an assurance that a sustainable amount of event support has been received before they commit to provide their time and talent. Quite simply, the number of badges that sell will help guide the type of programming we can deliver, and we need to know this early on.

To be able to reserve a large amount of convention center space understandably requires the event managers to promise the venue hotel/resort that a certain number of rooms will be purchased by the attendees during the event. The hotel reserves a set number of rooms (a “room block”) per night, often at a discount. If the room block does not sell the minimum number of rooms, the event managers are responsible to pay for them. So it is highly important to an event team that as many attendees as possible also stay onsite at the venue.

We are holding a pre-event “Halcyon Homecoming” evening mixer on Thursday, Oct 3 that is open to everyone that has booked a room in our special Halcy-Con room block for that night (Thursday, Oct 3). Room block reservations for a 1-King Bed room on 10/03 will receive 2 tickets to the mixer, room block reservations for a 2-Queen Beds room on 10/03 will receive 4 tickets to the mixer. Let’s get this party started early!

Funds received from badge sales are utilized for the production of the event. Badge sales cannot be refunded but can be transferred to another person before Sept 30, 2024 if your schedule changes.

We are SO excited to give Starcruiser Superfans an opportunity to showcase their talents and passion at this event! Our current plan is to open up submissions to all badgeholding attendees on Feb 26, 2024 to host a panel, workshop, presentation, roundtable, or activity at Halcy-Con. Please read the Programming Guidelines for more details. We have already informally received so many fantastic event ideas and can’t wait to see what we all create together… AS ONE!

Halcy-Con is BY Starcruiser Superfans, FOR Starcruiser Superfans! Submission for proposals are currently scheduled to open on February 26 through March 17, 2024. At that time they will be evaluated by the event team to determine their feasibility, safety and legality. All viable submissions will then be voted on by the event badgeholders to determine the final lineup! We currently anticipate the community vote happening in mid to late April.

We are planning on accepting submissions for vendor/artist space in March. As this is a first-year event, we simply cannot predict the market support for a special event like this and feel it is imperative that we give vendors accurate attendee counts before approving applications. We are going to make vendor/artist space available at a notably lower cost than traditional conventions, but we have one requirement: all vendors/artists must produce at least one exclusive item that is only available for purchase at Halcy-Con.
