Just curious... what's the estimate by percentage of people who show up in a costume? Obviously, you only post pictures of folks in a costume, but I'm wondering as a percentage of all attendees how many dress up? 5%? 10%?
A significant number, actually, probably at LEAST 15-20%.
In varying degrees of quality of course.
I'd say around 15-20% is a good estimate, it's hard to tell, some people don't wear their costume some days (I didn't on Friday because it's a pain to wear while you're trying to shop and take pictures) And then theres just some people who like to wear cat ears and a tail...or rave outfits.
They also do a masquerade every year, which is a big draw for people

On a side note, the guy who did the voice acting for Arthas and Garrosh Hellscream was there. Pretty cool dude
