Haz con experience, but Froggy noob

[gavet97.livejournal.com]

OK, with Froggy's pre-sale going on now, and with Patrick Stewart's price being what it is, I broke down and purchased my first Froggy photo op.  I am familiar with most aspects of the con, and *love* the Walk of Fame.  However, what experience do you guys have (and can pass on to me) about Froggy?  Is it like a cattle drive where you are herded in front of your chosen celeb and have 3 seconds before a photo is taken that looks like a driver's license?  Do you have a sec to speak with your celeb?  (And I am well aware that all the rules may fly out the window when it comes to PS.  I just want some stories to let me know what to expect.)  I assume a schedule is set up on-site as to when to expect the star?  Any info would be appreciated.  =)

Last year they started not allowing photos to be taken at the autograph tables as much BECAUSE of the Froggy professional photo ops. I agree that it sucks, but that seems to be the direction that is being taken. There are still a few that don't mind a photo op at their table, but sadly they are getting far and few between. Any star that has a picture of a camera and a slash through it at their auto table wasn't allowing photos with the fans at their tables. I, for one, am right there with ya and can't see paying such a large price for a pic with the star. I think I will stick with choosing a photo at their table getting my autograph that way. And, BTW, if you want to talk to the star this is NOT prohibited, but don't stay there for 10 minutes oogling and such. I have had great experiances with the folks I have wanted to meet without feeling rushed. Just a bit of respect paid to the star and the folks who have waited just as long as you is all that should be required and you'll still have a great experiance!!
