D23 2016 Location?

[MapleGirl]

I'm so excited for everyone at D23 this weekend. I'd like to go to the 2016 Expo. Does anyone know where it will be located? Will it be in Walt Disney World?

So far they have only had it ever 2 years. 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. So I would expect 2017 to be the next

One of the reason they hold it in Anaheim is because the convention center is close to the parks. Well WDW has convention space it isn't nearly big enough for D23, also when they held a convention at the Contemporary apparently the convention staff weren't exactly nice to the D23 folk from what I herd. Something to remember well, we often see Disney as one company its'a actually beater to look at it as being many smaller companies that each have to make money for the main company. The convention space at WDW does really well for regular conventions and they may not want to give it up for something that doesn't bring in as much money.

It's also easier for them to hold it in Anaheim since the movie studios, tv studios, music studios, imagineering, corporate (arhives) and celebrities are all in the LA area so its makes it easier to set things up and have the people behind it all right there instead of having to ship it across the USA twice

They do have D23 Japan but I don't think it is quite as large.

IMHO as a Disney fan I find it very disappointing that D23 has yet to come to WDW, it amazes me that the largest and most successful resort for that matter would not be considered for such a major Disney event, not to mention the Orlando area has a reputation of successfully hosting many major international conventions, in fact it is one of the most popular convention destinations in this hemisphere.. There is really no excuse, not only do you have endless convention space at the WDW resorts, but we also have the 2nd largest convention center in North America (Orange County Convention Center) which is no more than a 15 minute drive from WDW property..
