D23 | Expo 2011

After 2009 Disney is hosting another D23 Expo in Anaheim. The Expo will take place in August.

Here is the link to the official website: http://d23.disney.go.com/expo/

Step inside the D23 Expo Dream Store, which will be filled to the brim and bursting with D23-themed merchandise and other specialty items from Disney Theme Park Merchandise. From souvenirs and upscale logo assortments to Disney inspired art and collectibles, ear hats, pins, Vinylmation™ and more, it's a Disney enthusiast's "dream" come true.

Treasures of The Walt Disney Archives

If you're a Disney fan, this is one exhibit you won't want to miss!

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will be showcasing its "great big beautiful tomorrow" with a sneak peek at imaginative new experiences in the works for Disney parks around the world, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures By Disney and Disney Vacation Club.

Walt Disney Studios
Movies, music and more! The Walt Disney Studios will take D23 fans on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of some of the most anticipated theatrical releases of 2011 and beyond. Rock out with The Muppets, tour Mars with the natives and get animated with the Disney·Pixar gang. Be prepared! With the Studio steering the ship, you can almost always count on a few surprise stowaways.

Disney Living Presented by Disney Consumer Products
Disney Living showcases the Disney lifestyle through the worlds of style, play, celebrations and more. From the crib to the runway, hot toys to cool electronics, birthdays to weddings, Disney Living is fun, fashionable and exciting. See close up the latest products, collections and guest experiences designed especially for Disney fans, and meet the artists, designers and innovators who bring them to life.

Collectors Forum
A can't-miss opportunity for any Disney Fan is our elaborate Collectors Forum area. A broad range of colorful exhibitors will come together to form a dazzling display of Disney. Browse fine art collections, collectible pins and memorabilia and vintage Disney animation artwork and cels... whether you're looking for that hard-to-find Disneyana artifact or want to connect with other fans from Disney discussion boards and enthusiast groups, there's something for everyone to enjoy! Interested in being an exhibitor? Click here to download the Collectors Forum application

Disney Pin and Vinylmation Trading
Disney Pin and Vinylmation Trading is a unique activity where guests of all ages can make friends and trade items from their personal collections. The D23 Expo welcomes new and seasoned traders to our massive Disney Pin Trading Area to meet traders from around the world.

Fan Art Gallery
Step into Disney's Fan Art Gallery and visit art created by you, the ultimate Disney fans! Finalists in the Disney Fan Art Contest will be honored with their work on display for the entire Expo. This year's contest honors the beloved animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

I think the Expo will be very interesting and a great event. I'm sure Parks & Resorts, the Studio, the Archive and the shop will be the most popular places.

Is anyone here a D23 member that will attend the Expo?

Oh, and something you might want to download is the D23 Expo 2011 Guide Book. It's a 20.2 MB PDF file. A quick search through the PDF file reveals one use of the word "Paris", a reference to Disneyland Paris merchandise sold at Gary's Collectibles booth.

Not very promising at all.

Thanks for those links. MiceChat.com delivers, yet again. I love the look of the Seven Dwarfs roller coaster. I really wish it would get built at Disneyland Paris, and Snow White's Scary Adventures would get replaced by a Tangled dark ride.

You should definitely follow DatelineDisneyland's YouTube channel for all the latest videos.

DLRP did get one minor mention last night at the D23 Parks & Resorts presentation.

When discussing Shanghai Disney, Bob Weiss (correct me if I'm wrong) talked about the adapting of the Disney park formula to Chinese tradition. He used the example of The Dragon. As it is a potent and powerful symbol in Chinese culture they decided to include it in the park, and considered placing one under the castle just like in Disneyland Paris. However, they decided against it, as, in Chinese Tradition, the dragon represents the entire nation, and to put it under the castle in a dungeon chained to the wall, wasn't going to be a good idea.

Thank you Columbiad!
Nothing more about DLP? Any hope for the next days D23?

Let's talk about the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts presentation that was held yesterday (Friday, 19 August 2011). I think it's kind of funny that there were no new announcements, aside from the new Fantasy Faire show area, which will replace Carnation Plaza Gardens at Disneyland in California. All of the Americans were saying how disappointing it was. Now they know what it's like to be a fan of Disneyland Paris :-)



The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster that's coming to Walt Disney World looks really cool, but it was already announced back in January 2011 on the Disney Parks Blog.

http://http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/01/update-on-new-fantasyland-at-magic-kingdom-park/

Plus, it's not going to open until 2014! So, I think it's a little bit early to be showing CGI ride-throughs of it. I don't think it's too healthy to be anticipating attractions that far in advance, because then you're just counting down 3-4 years of your life until it opens, if you see what I mean. Like, it's coming, it's coming, they're starting construction, they're building it, it's coming, it's about to open... oh damn I'm 3 years older!
