Disney Entertainment Television pulled out all the stops at San Diego Comic-Con this year, showing off the breadth of their content with a whole host of activations near the convention center for con-goers to enjoy.

ABC’s Abbott Elementary brought A.V.A. Fest to San Diego, hosting an entire carnival full of games and goodies. A swing carousel whisked attendees around the area, while the Philadelphia Eagles drumline brought up the energy with several performances throughout the day. There was also a giant slide, a high striker, water guns, and an arts and craft section.

Across the way, Hulu’s Animayhem activation was back another year, highlighting series like Family Guy, American Dad, Bob’s Burgers, Grimsburg, and The Simpsons. Doughnuts and coffee were available, courtesy of Bart Simpson himself. While inside, one can have their stress levels “detected” via a high-tech machine from Solar Opposites, which spit out a Goobler depending on one’s mood. Very, very stressed? Well, you may get the rarest Goobler of them all.

There’s also an opportunity to create a dance video with the characters from Bob’s Burgers and take a trip down memory lane with scenes from old episodes of Family Guy.

On the way back toward the convention center, con-goers can stop by the FX area, which boasts activities from some of their biggest hits like The Bear and American Horror Story. Aspiring chefs can snag an apron and have their photo taken inside The Bear — Carmy and Sydney’s upscale Chicago restaurant that has been stunningly transported to Southern California this weekend.

American Horror Story is bringing the haunts to summer with the Hellevator, which showcases 12 moments from throughout the series and also gives a glimpse at Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series Grotesquerie. Attendees can also snap pics outside of Paddy’s Pub from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or visit the vampire’s Staten Island mansion from What We Do in the Shadows. And, to keep cool, there’s also custom sunshades available.

Check out photos from all the activations, which are running throughout the entire Comic-Con weekend, below.
