Honestly, I remember the hassles that occurred when Anime Expo was held at the Disneyland Hotel 9 years back. The whole thing was a gong show.
Disney Castmembers being rude to con attendees
Demanding dealers follow Disney's rules even within private paid convention spaces
Creating their own version of the convention t-shirt which they sold within the con space (official ones were white or black with images from Nadesico or Utena, Disney ones were white, pink, or baby blue with the Magic Kingdom Logo on the back
And people staying at the hotel (but weren't registered with the convention) got an extra treat that year. Disney Cast slipped letters under their room doors explaining how a private function was being held on site, that they might see many people dressed as characters not associated with Disney. That these people not Castmembers and were to be left alone. Please do not request any photos with these characters. Regardless many did as of course their kids would want pictures with Sailor Moon and other Anime characters that they recognized, and the vast majority of Cos-players were happy to do so.
Disney parks are wonderful if you are going to a Disney Park. For Fan Conventions, not so much.
