Hi Bret,
Sorry we couldn't meet before the expo. From your trip report it actually sounds like we crossed paths on Wednesday and Thursday without knowing it!
I should clarify our "rough start" on Friday morning. As you know D23 members could buy tickets for themselves and 3 people. So, she was my guest and her ticket said so. That's why we were both upset about being told she had to go to the general line. For the other mornings, yes, she entered with me at 9am.
I was actually sort of upset not having a chance to got to Mickey's of Glendale. But, from your description, I'm not sure I missed much. They had a Mickey's of Glendale at the 2014 Destination D event at WDW, so I got what I wanted there.
The only time we got Stagepasses was right away at 9:00 for the 11am presentations in Stage 23. It worked out just fine for us, but the lines were huge the rest of the day. Then, on Saturday, we tried getting a Stagepass around 12:30 for one of the late day presentations but the line was closed. I have no idea why, but it reopened later.
@franandaj - I thought you weren't going to be at the expo. I would have liked to say "hi".
I'm looking forward to hearing more from your trip!

Hi @Wonder2008, it was nice to meet you in person during the D23 Expo. It would have been better if we got to meet before the Expo but I know that you were enjoying your visit at the DLR.
The parks were not that crowded in my opinion where the queues for the rides are long but not like the heavy summer times or Christmas break. You stayed late that Wednesday night and were able to ride the updated Matterhorn. Glad you were able to see the three new nighttime shows and they are amazing.
You got there late that Friday morning at 7am. I heard from my friend that she got there late and it was a disorganized. I didn't see it that morning but from what she has told me, it was crazy with all those snake like lines outside of the ACC. It felt like the old times with all those snake lines outside the ACC. That was a little surprise to hear that your sister was not allowed to be in the D23 Gold/Silver queue that mornign where she had the regular admission ticket. That was good that you went to the Disney Legends Ceremony that morning just like my aunt. Sorry to hear about the bad start of your day and hope it got better.
