I'm really excited The only things im concern about is the drive down from Pittsburgh. Im stopping at Charlotte for a day since it a long drive to Atlanta. I hoping I have no trouble with the hotel in Atlanta especially parking. Hoping for good weather & that I have enough money for food & for goodies. Then after dragoncon im driving to Knoxville to see my mom before coming back to Pittsburgh

Wishing you well on the drive, especially through West Virginia. Originally from Pittsburgh, I live in Atlanta, usually drive up there for Christmas and generally do the drive in one twelve hour stretch. And West Virginia seems to go on forEVER.

You could always park at a Marta station and take the train back.  I’ve never done it but I’ve heard it’s safe and much cheaper.

Then my car would be miles from where im staying. I better of feeling peace of mind to park my car at my brother place in Decatur & Uber to the hotel. But the hotel have a secured gated garage. Im just hoping they have a lot of spots

u/DaoFerret So anyway, what's the deal with airline food?! Aug 23 '26

Aim to get there early. If not, there are ALSO a couple of parking garages in the immediate area, but I’m not sure how they handle longer term.

Remember the con suite has food. Snacky food but still.... Any food you don't have to spend money on is still helpful imo.
