FoForks has a post up talking about the fan experience of waiting to see Robert, Kristen,and Stephenie at the airport and at their hotel. Unlike Kristen’s trip to Rio earlier this year, which by many accounts was filled with various security breaches, their has been none of that so far. The crowds are all enthusiastic but not causing chaos.
They start describing people waiting at the airport.
“I arrived at the airport around 8:30 in the morning. The plane was originally scheduled for 10:10 and then moved up to 09:13 and then changed again to 10:20. Reporters at the airport said that Rob and Kristen got off the plane and were standing on the runway itself, where there was a police car waiting for them, offered by Mayor, Eduardo Paes…” Read more about the airport here(Google translate gives a pretty good translation)
Next they move on to talk about being at the hotel.
When the group got to the hotel, Robert put his face in the window of his room, but the media didn’t pick up on that part. Afterf he did it once clearly, you only saw shadowed figured behind curtains. And each time that happened the crowd went crazy shouting “Kristen! Kristen! “Or” Robert, Robert. “ and they waved their hands in the air. Every time a rumor popped up that they were leaving the parking lot side, everyone ran over there and then everyone came back again. Neither Stephenie Meyer nor Bill Condon were seen.
A few expected Rob and Kristen to be down to the pool area for lunch, as it was reserved only for guests and it was more secure, but they preferred to eat lunch in their own bedrooms.
Security in place was MUCH improved[from Kristen’s last visit]. In addition to private security actors, the cars were all shielded. There were three military police cars outside the hotel, including a van, but also the municipal guard was helping to keep the masses of people as organized as possible, lol. There was even an ambulance a little farther from where were the fans were in case some fan got sick or got hurt, which I thought was very nice of the organization. And really, if I stayed there another half hour dying of heat stroke! [Note: it’s now summer in Brazil]

This morning’s news has reports of intrepid fans still waiting outside. It’s raining and they are still there. It’s an interesting mix of Twilight people, Jonas Brothers people, and Vin Diesel people. All three groups are staying at the same hotel.
Rob and Kristen have not been outside yet, or if they have, they haven’t been spotted. The press reports Stephenie Meyer going out and doing some shopping in a jewelry store. She was accompanied by a security team, and there were some press, paparazzi, and onlookers, but there were not reported incidents with crowds or photographers rushing the group.
