We are hopefully just one day away from the complete WonderCon Anaheim 2023 programming schedule being released, but there’s plenty of news to tide you over! We’ve got updates on artists like Jeff Pina and Megan Porch (you’re going to want to make so mush-room for her items!), as well as the return of the discounted Disneyland tickets, and more.
Let’s take a look at the new you might have missed:
