Off to the 2024 D23 Expo!

It's hard to believe that two years have passed since the last Disney D23 Expo!

Today we attended the first-ever D23 Day at Disneyland, which included a brief parade with numerous Disney Legends. I'll be at the Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center all weekend, from Friday, August 9th, through Sunday the 11th.

This is the eighth D23 Expo. After attending one day to "sample" the first Expo 15 years ago, in the years since I've attended all three days of every Expo.  The Expos are normally held every other year.

We count ourselves fortunate to have "floor" tickets for each day, as tickets for the most part sold out during the "pre-sales" for select groups, before going on sale to the general public. By the time we were able to purchase, the tickets for the evening panels at the Honda Center -- something new this year -- were completely sold out.

I'm not sure we'll mind missing out on the chaos of moving from the Anaheim Convention Center to the Honda Center at the end of each long day, though the panels will all be fun. But we've got plenty to do at the Convention Center!

Some of the panels of interest this year include "Disneyland Foods: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow"; "Walt Disney and El Grupo: A Journey Through Latin America"; "Jolly Holiday: A Musical Celebration of Richard M. Sherman"; and "Walt Disney Treasures: Personal Art and Artifacts from the Walt Disney Family Museum."

We're also hoping to go to the Friday night Princess Concert. We attended a similar concert last year and thought it was fantastic.

There is much, much more to see this weekend, including not just floor exhibits but lots of great shopping.

For "as it happens" photos this weekend, please follow my Twitter account. I hope to share more about the Expo here in the future.
