D23 Expo 2017 Video
As you saw in my D23 Expo recap video, this fan-filled event is pretty amazing! I was able to see huge stars like Oprah and the cast of Avengers: Infinity War, get exclusive breaking news about Disney Parks, be apart of the Disney Magic while watching private performances from Alan Menken and the cast of Lion King, plus so much more!D23 Expo Floor
The expo floor is filled with interactive fan experiences like the Walt Disney Archives exhibit “A Pirates Life For Me” with exclusive Disney history from costumes worn by famous pirates to movie props and much, much more. Fans stood in line for hours to see this incredible archives exhibit. And yes, wear your most comfortable shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking, and waiting. Also on the expo floor is exclusive Disney merchandise from vendors and Disney. On the last day of the conference, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few items that were of limited quality. I’ll be sharing those pictures on my Instagram soon! In addition to picking up exclusive D23 Expo merchandise, I also visited the Disney Music Emporium where I was gifted the Disney Legacy Collection Robin Hood soundtrack – before it’s available to the public! I also purchased some beautiful art pieces while there too.
D23 Expo Panels
D23 Expo brought the house down with amazing panels like the Disney Legends Panel where Oprah and Stan Lee were among the honorees (included in the video above). It was incredible to see them up close and hear their inspiring life journeys that led them to Disney. A few of the honorees have since past, like the late Carrie Fisher, however her daughter sent a letter which was read aloud, while other Disney Legends grown children accepted the special induction on their behalf. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house by the end of the special panel.
