Official 2017 D23 Expo Thread

[rteetz]

guess a couple people have shown up for the Annimation panel:

The lines for this were an issue with little control from staff. Michael Bowling wasn't happy.

ok this is a lot of unneeded sarcasm coming from your direction so I will take it upon myself to clarify. those people are camping out to see it live and in person and experience the entire expo. We are asking for a simple live stream that doesnt take away from those camping out or paying the money to be there. its hardly enough reason to NOT go to the expo therefore it wouldnt hurt to have the livestream especially if they did it via D23 local parties as I suggested before that were monitored by D23. It also from a PR standpoint a great tool for engagement with fans and generates excitement. The access of this information would almost certainly lead to at least a minor increase in ticket sales, which is never a bad thing.

Yep. People camp out and pay huge sums of money at the super bowl, the world series, etc just to be there. They don't "not stream" those things. Steaming this makes sense. Crowds will still come.

The DIS is live on FB discussing D23 rumors.

should have skyped you in for it to set them straight

i've seen a lot of complaining on twitter about the lines and not enough staff to handle, etc.

Not shocking.

I love the Designs from Her Universe but somehow the product always looks...underwhelming

I literally have a program that starts 15 minutes after the Animation panel. I will not be at my computer. Make your posts interesting for when I get back people!

Haunted mansion, some of the Star Wars, and fantasyland look really cute. Even the marvel is ok even though it looks like something I'd get at target.

honestly target and hot topic bring SOME quality though. I have not seen that from her universe which usually looks like very basic screen printing or cheap costumes.

They have never done a live stream of the parks panel before.

In 2011 WDWNT or some other fan site live streamed it. Will never forget the conversation about how disappointing it was and before it started everyone's thoughts on what would be announced. My personal favorite was "Primeval Whirl to be duplicated in every park" Yeah after that I believe cameras were no longer allowed in the arena during the one presentation they had for the parks afterwards

The haunted mansion ballroom dress is my favorite out of all of them but I'd feel weird wearing it anywhere other than a Disney Park.

There will be third party periscopes and stuff but Disney doesn't live stream.

Not sure if they'll do it but Chip & Company on FaceBook have been live streaming all day, so, they might live stream tomorrow?

thats totally the other thing. Sometimes it feels like the designs even the disney bound ones border on cheesy. my favorite that i actually own is from hot topic and its a dress with a black top and a white skirt that has disney princesses outlined on it in grey. its perfect.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Love the Princes Leia Puffy Vest. The HM and Fronteirland dresses are cool too

The fandom stuff is all just so over the top now. And if someone is under 30, or looks it, I don't think it's weird to wear that stuff. At my age and my build, it's a little strange without the confidence behind it. I'd love some sort of subtle separate with the haunted mansion wallpaper on it that isn't too dressy. For now I guess I'll just stick with the overpriced socks!

It was a mess. Lots of really dangerous pushing.

We should be going in soon for the panel and my phone has to go to jail.

I've been posting a lot on Twitter and Instagram.
