New D23 Expo Superthread! (6/24/2019)

[ChewieIsMyCoPilot]

Just got in StagePass Section B for Parks but it looks like we are the last of it

 

[Mathmagicland]

So anyone going to the Arena needs to go downstairs also?

You will need to ask a CM as they brought the basement line for the A doors that include the Arena upstairs starting at 7am.

I just checked in to Stage Pass A. B is apparently full.

For anyone coming now, show floor queue is being taken upstairs soon.

So anyone going to the Arena needs to go downstairs also?

Hall E (downstairs) is only for the floor and Hall D23 (Parks on Sunday) queueing.

D23 Expo Arena is at other end of the floor from Hall D23. I talked with a CM directing people at the door of Hall E and there have been some number of confused mermaids showing up at Hall E entrance, confused between Hall D23 and D23 Expo Arena... Take a look at the app or program guide and you'll see the location of the D23 Expo Arena right away.

So, StagePass C is technically full. They are adding a row in what had been a walkway.

And, that row is filled.

Have SP for Parks. Lyft dropped us off at Hilton around 8:30, Security took about 5 minutes, scanned in and CMs directed us to walk along left side to entrance to Hall E. Once down here we scanned in, got wristbands and were directed to the blue tape section where we arrived about 8:50. We’re back by the E18 column in 7th of 9 blue tape rows that I can see.

We’re excited to be here!

About 9:30 HA line began to move in groups. By 9:40 we could see Gold line moving. We’re way back in SP C, but we’re here!

We were in the first row of HA moved. We are front row of Section C in front of the 2nd screen from far right.

The #disneymovieinsiders formally, Disney movie rewards, private member celebration was a great experience! They really did a great job. Serve yourself mini buffet with appetizers constantly being passed out and open mini bar. Afterwards, we were given gift bags with a Disney Dvd! The pineapple dole whip cupcake was delicious!
Actor Khleo Thomas was there with family/friends and of course Mickey was available for pictures.
Really glad they will be doing more events like this in the future.

We’re behind you - far, far behind you near the back of the section facing that same screen. Sat down at 10:13 - seemed like everything was very organized and smooth.

If you go to the Dreams Store be sure to say hi ti Dave Avanzino. He is a friend and great artist.

I have been trying to get in there to see Dave all weekend but the lines are always too long when I go by,

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

In line to see Art of Storytelling now. It has been fun running into DISers.

I’m in line here too!

I’ll apologize now as I haven’t read the entire thread but where in DL do they plan on putting the avenger section? The old bugs land isn’t big enough. Do they plan on getting rid to toon town?

 

[FrozenCrown]

I’m in line here too!

Me three!

Maybe the size is misleading? I couldn’t really tell with all the overgrown foliage how large the space actually is. Spider-man is going where It’s Tough to be a Bug theater was, which leaves everything else that was torn down. Avengers will be Phase 2 so maybe they plan on expanding back where the red car trolley goes backstage. I’m skeptical the red cars are even returning at this point.

Edited to add: I ducked out of Art of Storytelling a couple minutes early to try and make it to Character Voices. Line all the way down the lobby but hasn’t moved since 4. Not sure if it’s starting late or what the deal is. Gotta decide quick whether to stick it out or bail and try for Disneyland ‘59.

They are expanding DCA outward behind GOTG to what has been a parking lot. So DCA will grow like it did for Carsland in 2012.

I did the same, hope you stuck with it as there were plenty of seats, the panel started late, and it was amazing!
