Note: Two years is a long time, so the information provided is based on past cons, GoogleMaps estimations and a general idea of this magical week in Storybrooke and the Supernatural side of Vancouver. (The days are accurate, it’s just the date that will be nothing but guesswork -- August 18-26 -or- August 25-September 1 -- until the completion of VanCon’13 (August 26 -or- September 2) which I will be monitoring very closely.
One more thing before I get on with the tentative itinerary. As of right now, Once Upon A Time has earned a second season. A few months ago, I got word that if this coming season does well, not only will we get a third, but ABC will be contracted to FIVE SEASONS OF OUAT.
Even if, by some unimaginable twist of fate, the stars do not align, Moncton Street will always be the set of Once Upon A Time, wether the actors and film crew are there or not. We'll still be standing where these amazing characters came to life and that's definitely something to be excited about.
However. Once Upon A Time was the #1 New Drama last fall and ABC is a full-grown, popular network (unlike the fledgling networks like the CW, which is really all I have for reference when it comes to this level of adulation), the cast and creators even hit Comic Con before the show ever aired! I'd say our chances are good but keep in mind, we will be here for the filming of season four if and when that happens -- I realize I'm sort of talking in circles on the subject, but I'm just too superstitious to jinx something like this =P (but the point does need to be made)
And on that somewhat uplifting note, here's a first take on what we're looking at for fun in downtown "Storybrooke":

| I found his one on Tumblr! None of the screencaps have a direct view of the lettering, so this is perfect |
 |
| ...and this is a screencap from 1.19 that I will be modeling the actual dagger from; there's a lot of work to do, but I've got the time =) |
