I have been wanting to go to a convention or expo for a while. I had actually planned on a Galaxy Con event and then Covid rocked the world. I have been patiently waiting for these things to come back basically so I could meet Bill Farmer. Who is Bill Farmer you may ask? Bill Farmer is the voice of Goofy since 1987. (Before I was born!)
House of Mouse Expo is a new convention based out of Orlando. I got the pleasure to go to the first event. The Expo took place on Nov 27th and 28th. I didn't know about it until the morning of the 28th. So I got in my closet looked for a Goofy shirt and went! There was a panel with Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden. (The voices of Goofy and Max.) It was about 45 minutes they reminisced about filming 'A Goofy Movie'. It was a wonderful 45 minutes. I'm so glad I was there!
Also at the event were other actors and panels. There was a John Ratzenberger panel as well as many others. There were several Orlando area locals who are vloggers and such. There were lots of neat vendors set-up. Last but least a costume contest. There were some amazing costumes there.
I think considering it was a first attempt at an event it was very well put together. It was a nice size crowd for the 'A Goofy Movie' panel; but, the crowd was smaller than I expected. Which I didn't mind because I talked to Bil Farmer for about 15 minutes and that was totally worth it! I had an amazing day! I didn't have to fight crowds, it was very chill and relaxed. It was a great vibe and I am interested to see how this expo will grow and evolve.
