On October 30th, 2026, join us in the heart of the Sunshine State for the sixth time for CoolStuffCon Orlando!

We'll be at the Hyatt Regency Orlando all throughout Halloween weekend taking over the Windermere Ballroom with exclusive tournaments, the return of Creator Clash, and more.

With just three months to go, let's look at everything this action-packed weekend has to offer for players and collectors alike!

CoolStuffCon Orlando is Free to Attend

CoolStuffCon Orlando is completely free to attend. We're calling TCG lovers from all over the region to join us for a weekend celebrating games like Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, and Riftbound.

There's no cost for you to get in, and all ages are welcome.

We ask that minors under the age of 16 are accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18.

Play with Friends, Make New Ones

Inside the Windermere Ballroom, we will have play areas set up for anyone to jump in on a casual game of Magic.

You and your friends can venture beyond the kitchen table, or you can branch out and play with a completely new group. Commander is the most popular format but, in the casual play area, the sky's the limit.

Buy, Sell, & Trade with Featured Vendors

Windermere Ballroom's roughly 35,000 sq. feet are ours for the weekend, so you know we have to invite all our friends to bring some cool stuff.

We'll have vendors there to buy, sell, and trade singles all weekend long. Artists will be there selling prints and you'll be able to find tons of fun, nerdy brands selling tokens, deckboxes, playmats, and all kinds of collectibles.

Sell Your Bulk Cards

CoolStuffInc is proudly prepared to accept bulk sales on location at CoolStuffCon. Pack a suitcase, a shoebox, or rubber band some chaff together and bring it to us!

Our expert team is on standby, and they don't even need a list. You can bring your cards to our Buy table, we will count it up right away and shoot you a text when it's time to come get paid. It's that easy.

Have just a few singles to sell? No worries, we're interested!

Beginner-Friendly Cosplay Contest

It wouldn't be Halloween if we didn't dress up, right? On Saturday, October 31st, we're hosting a spooktacular casual cosplay contest.

Entry is free and all participants will get a prize.

It can be fun, or spooky; perfectly canon or completely thrown together. Sign-ups will be available at the event, and judging will take place later in the evening. Costumes should be appropriate for a public setting, but beyond that, get creative and go wild.

Amp Up Your Experience with a Ticket Package

CoolStuffCon Orlando also has optional upgrades. Each Ticket Package comes with vouchers for events, cool collectibles, and more. Limited upgrades will be available at the door but Ticket Packages are available now.

Tickets are completely optional, but come with a lot of awesome goodies and offer you access to exclusive experiences. Booking early has other benefits as well, like a discounted resort fee if you book your stay at the Hyatt because of us.

Ticketholders can bring Planeswalkers in training (6 and under) at no extra cost.
