’90s Con will make its Florida debut on Sept. 15-17 at the Tampa Convention Center. Tickets are on sale now starting at $40 per person for a day pass.
Now for the big names that draw tens of thousands of people to these themed conventions. 90’s Con has a seriously start-studded list of 50 celebrity guests from across the 1990s entertainment spectrum.
There’s a Disney princess reunion with the voices of Ariel (Jodi Benson), Belle (Paige O’Hara), Jasmine (Linda Larkin), Pocahontas (Judy Kuhn) and Meg (Susan Egan). Nearly all of the main cast of “Boy Meets World” will be there, from Danielle Fishel (Topanga) and Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) to William Daniels, who played Mr. Feeney.
Witchy ‘90s kids like me will jump at the chance to meet Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz from “Halloweentown” and Sabrina and the aunties from “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.”
There are also stars from “Saved by the Bell,” “Full House,” “Family Matters,” “Charmed and 90210.” And musical guests from Backstreet Boys (Nick Carter and AJ McClean), N*Sync (Joey Fatone) and TLC (T-Boz and Chilli) will be there.
The bar scene is going to be fun after the festival closes.
That’s4Entertainment’s conventions typically have nightly concerts, but 90’s Con is still finalizing its schedule of events for next month. We’re crossing our fingers TLC will grace us with “No Scrubs” even though it’s not the same without Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
Other festivities at 90’s Con include celebrity panels and photo ops, cosplay contests and vendor rooms full of nostalgic merch.
That’s4Entertainment was created by four women who loved spending the holidays together binge watching Christmas movies. Their first Christmas Con launched in 2019, and they hosted three more in-person events since then.
The group debuted 90’s Con in 2022. This year, there are two 90’s Cons (Connecticut and Florida) and two Christmas Cons (Kansas and New Jersey).
