Unfortunately, due to last-minute flight cancellations out of Dallas several guests were unable to make it. According to an official statement from the convention these guests included Vanessa Angel, Ernie Reyes Jr., and a several voice actors. The number of cancellations was a notable disappointment for many attendees, unfortunately that setback was well beyond anything the event could control.
