D23 EXPO THREAD - See you in 2019!

I think you are actually one section down from me. I'm in the middle by the charter lounge.

Not sure if all in line in the 2nd floor just heard the announcement re Power of the Princess. They are working on a way to pull people out of the stage floor line to go straight up to stage 28 from here. She did not stay when that would start.

I'd ask the staff by the center escalators if you want more info

Keep us posted on how things look for capacity if/when you get up there.

Kind of crazy some sorcerers have been here since the wee hours of today (1am). Got in line at about 6:30 and in the same area I was yesterday. They are saying we will get let in around 8:50 but we shall see.

I need to save up and do sorcerer next time. Steep price but seems really worth the cost of not having to choose or question whether or not you can make a panel.

The extra sleep would be nice too. We're staying at a hotel(Indigo) that does a nightly water show with music. I felt really bad asking them to turn it off but we were going to bed at 7PM, they're really accommodating to guests.

We were just let into the standby queue for princesses. Not bad at all, we are maybe 50 people back because of the overnight people who came in first. Tons of room so far.

That is Crazy, there is a dedicated entrance for Sorcerers.

I'm doing Live Action this morning, but expect Princesses will be awesome -- considering the actresses that appeared during Animation

I am going to grab some food and then make my way down to hall E and wait until they let us line up for parks and resorts.
I've got Ursula ears and an Ursula shirt so if you see me say hi!

 

[adamreisinger]

I just made it upstairs to the Stage 28 queue hall, and it's not full yet, but it's getting close. About 3 more rows available.

Looks like the room is full now, did you make it in?

Edit: just saw your post.

I made it to the Power of Princess panel line... @ashley0139 @adamreisinger glad you guys are in here too!

If it is full there will be a lot of disappointed people just coming up the escalator. The folks queued up outside are coming in. I'm in line for the Marc Davis panel still room here.

I feel like there's way more room in the panel room than in the queue room. But I still don't understand why they don't have someone with a clicker at the door counting capacity.

Also, if you see the Baloo-sized dude in the black Gisele T-shirt, say hi. It me.

@ashley0139 im wondering if I'm in a second room, is the left room the first or second?

I feel like there's way more room in the panel room than in the queue room. But I still don't understand why they don't have someone with a clicker at the door counting capacity.

They had someone with a clicker as we came up the escalator, so that was probably how they did it. And I'll keep an eye out! I have a black Minnie sweater and bright pink/red Mickey leggings

@adamreisinger you know what?? I think we met in line earlier, outside!!

Ha! It is in fact a small world after all.

Told to head over for the parks and resorts queuing at 10:30am but there seems to be an on official que starting so I'm going to hang out for a bit and see if staff chases me away again since I'm near the media and event staff line. Lol

Wow, I feel so bad for those people that didn't get in to Animation, because it was amazing. At 1:55 (when we finally started to move to the escalators) I was thinking "All I've done today is stand/sit in lines. This stinks." By 4:45 as we were leaving the panel I was thinking "if that's literally all I get to do this weekend, this trip was worth it."

That said, I REALLY hope that's not all I get to do.

I already know I'm punting on Live Action tomorrow morning, because I really want to see Power of the Princess, but fingers crossed I can get into Parks in the afternoon. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll have things better figured out, because line management was a disaster both inside and outside today.

Yeah, the line management is not up to normal Disney standards. BUT, it's better than day one for sure.

Heading into Marc Davis session now. Early!?! Love it.

Good luck to power of the princess attendees!

I'll refrain from shouting across the room, but it was nice to wave! Haha go figure
