Minecon 2012

When I think of Disneyland, I think of fairies, princesses and lovely animations of talking animals etc. Minecraft just doesn't fit into that box for me.

Did you say the same for Minecon 2011? That was hosted in Las Vegas and what comes to mind for me is Casinos...

Las Vegas is a large city though, Disneyland is a tourist destination. Tbh it's not that big a deal, just how I feel

Las Vegas is also a tourist destination

Feels like a good place for it to me. Good connections via train, plane and automobile, and easily accessible from the UK, France (obviously), Germany and the rest of mainland Europe as well as USA/Canada. It has plentiful hotels, all with excess capacity since it's off season. There's ample well equipped conference facilities (up to ~15,000 from what I can work out). It's family-friendly, much more so than Vegas in fact. There's tons of stuff to do in terms of the actual park itself, restaurants, other attractions.

The more I think the more I can't think of somewhere better for it.

Plus, everyone loves Mickey Mouse.

Disneyland serious?! Knew it was gonna be in Paris, but that's a shock. Not sure if I can do those dates. I was hoping it would be early Nov.

It's not in disneyland i think. It's meant to be in a conference hotel near, or next to it
