Arielle if you are going to be parking at your hotel on Thursday you won't have to worry about this so much, but if you are driving straight to the convention center you need to get there really early if you want to park at the convention center parking lots. They fill up fast and they are usually cheaper than other lots downtown. Some of the lots right across the street jack up their prices during con to like $40 and $50 to park for the day. If you get farther away from the convention center it get cheaper, but then you have to walk all the way back to your car after you walked all over the convention center all day.

COMIC-CON’S FIRST EVER 3D PANEL — Veteran directors Robert Zemeckis and Tim Burton join TRON producers Sean Bailey and Steve Lisberger on Thurs., July 23 at 11 a.m. for an unprecedented presentation featuring behind-the-scenes filmmaker insights about the highly anticipated 3D adventures DISNEY’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL, ALICE IN WONDERLAND and TRON. In addition to Q&A opportunities with each of the filmmakers, the 90-minute panel will feature never-before-seen concept art, trailers, actual 3D film footage and other Comic-Con-only footage debuts. In a groundbreaking technical feat, this is the first time ever that 3D footage will be shown at Comic-Con. Patton Oswalt will moderate.

*Patton Oswalt just came out to host the event wearing 3D glasses. Incidentally, this is indeed the very first 3D presentation in Hall H ever, which may be why it's so packed. Oswalt is definitely winning the crowd over with his jokes.

*First up is A Christmas Carol and director Robert Zemeckis is on hand to present the 3D footage. Oswalt is asking him why he's excited about 3D. They're sitting on high chairs like on "Inside the Actor's Studio" and this is a very different set-up than in previous years with one large screen in the center of the Hall rather than three smaller screens.

Zemeckis was just asked if he'd ever make a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit but he said that he "can't confirm or deny." He said that the 2D animated characters from the original movie would remain in 2D if he did decide to revisit those characters in a new movie.

Next up is Tim Burton making his first Comic-Con panel appearance ever and he got a huge round of applause... he obviously has a lot of fans in this crowd. He says that he hasn't been here since he was a college student in the 70s.

*They just showed the character pictures from Alice in Wonderland including Matt ("Little Britain") Lucas' TweedleDum and TweedleDee, which looks like a shorter dumpier version of Lucas. Oswalt has asked him about why he picked Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and they showed concept art for the Chesire Cat, voiced by Stephen Fry.

After the brief Q n A, Oswalt asked if he had anything else and he said he brought an "Imaginary friend" and Johnny Depp walked out to HUGE screams from the ladies in the audience. Apparently, Johnny isn't able to enjoy the 3D experience, according to Burton.

Next up is the Tron Legacy panel and apparently, that is the OFFICIAL title for the new film. Director Joseph Kosinski is on hand, as is producer Sean Bailey. From the cast is Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and of course, the veteran from the first film, Jeff Bridges.

They just showed concept art from the world of Tron City including a view down from the top of Mile High Tower and a look at the arena for the city's gladiatorial games including an update of Disc War, which features 16 combatants fighting at once and then the courts combining as someone is eliminated to create one giant count for the final battle. They also showed shots of the new Recognizer, the Solar Sailor, the two-passenger Light Runner, and the 5th Generation light cycle.

"We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April and May of next year," Aviv told us during our interview. "We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan." He said that this time they would only be doing one movie this time that would "hopefully be the first of another trilogy."

"It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger," Aviv admitted. "The movies have subsequently gotten bigger and bigger and very complicated and they were satisfying on so many levels obviously, but I want to kind of reboot the whole thing and bring it down to its core, its essence, just characters." He agreed that there is a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow's back story that we haven't seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie. Still no word on whether Gore Verbinski might come back for the fourth movie.

Woohoo! Looking forward to this one. But I thought we're going to get Depp's Tonto first before revisiting Captain Jack.

Apparently there is some kind of secret Alice in Wonderland museum that if you win a game you get to see. Here is a report on Aint It Cool News.
