- Amazing panels about everything Minecraft you can imagine
- A killer exhibit hall with hand picked exhibitors

Edit: Darn almost got first post
By individual country the most Minecraft players are in America. However, there is a much much bigger following in Europe combined which is the same kind of size.
It's in France because it is the closest to the greatest amount of fans. It makes much more sense than anywhere else in Europe, but, it still sucks because the Minecraft community has spread so far that no matter where it is it will be too far away for lots of people.
Especially with it at disney land... if they are going to serve alcohol WTF? dont get it? let me repeat, **clears throat** DISNEY LAND A.K.A. THE PALACE OF KIDS.. still dont get it? **clears throat even more** DISNEY LAND... KIDS!
Why have do that at disneyland? If it was regular minecon like 2011 where it was at vegas, i would understand an 18+ thing because that is not disneyland and not necessarily for kids.
So... what is it? alcohol? sex? nudity? anything like that? or is it just to get away from the kids... if thats so here are some tips:
1. Parent: DONT BRING YOUR KIDS!
2. Minecon Hosts: DONT ALLOW KIDS!
-If you do any of the reasons above, why make it at disney land?
Bottom Line: Just Let the Kids go to the 18+ Things, or just remove it like all kids and most parents would agree. Because disneyland, kids, minecon, and an 18+ activity? ESPECIALLY A PARTY! KIDS LOVE PARTYS!
You guys make no sense

Why do that at disneyland though? thats stupid
Sucks u have to be 18 cuzz that looks fun as hell
Actually most minecrafters are in Europe.
Paris Disneyland is a little different....
Also, for other commenters, I suspect that the reason they didn't put it in the U.S.A. this year was because of our increasing security insanity. A significant number of the international travellers would face harassment, abuse, and theft by the TSA. They're not the only international outfit moving their conventions and conferences out of the US.
Thank goodness, the lines were terrible last year.
Looked for tickets and all sold out?!?!
