Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley and more guests are returning to Orlando in 2025 for vamped up programming, events, live entertainment and more. PLUS, the hotel is at the entrance to Universal Studios Orlando Theme Parks to make the experience a real vacation!

SHOW TIMES
The show schedule is posted the week of the convention to accommodate flight itineraries and filming schedules of our celebrities, but here are the tentative times for the show:

• The pre-registration night before the convention generally runs from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
• The convention programming usually starts around 9:00-10:00 AM and ends around 5:00-6:00 PM.
• Evening events will be scheduled after 6:00 PM.

NOTE: All guests and scheduling are tentative and subject to change. Our best advice is to plan for these time variabilities and check the schedule (on the Schedule page) as soon as it is available.

Thanks to our fellow fans, we’ve loved bringing the stars direct to their audiences for over 50 years! Join the celebration and be part of the unforgettable Creation family.

Unlike so many other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict company policy not to "oversell" our conventions. In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place.

Creation Entertainment has the right to refuse service to anyone who interferes with the safety and well-being of other patrons, staff, actors, Creation Entertainment and the establishment itself. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment of any kind both in advance and/or at a particular event, illegal activity, unreasonable rowdiness, patrons lacking adequate hygiene and inconsideration to others. Refusal of service shall never be based on race or color, National origin or citizenship status, religion or creed, sex, age, disability, pregnancy or genetic information, Veteran or Military status, marital status, sexual orientation or gender identity, medical condition (excluding infectious diseases), political affiliations or activities, or status as a victim of domestic violence, assault or stalking.
