Love the photo!

But I'd love a rundown; I think that I can only identify half: ?, Mulan, ?, Moana, ?, Anna, ?, Tiana, ?, Ariel

Can someone fill in the gaps?

When I was at #Disneyland tonight I spotted this new #Fantasmic merch. Rumors of a Fantasmic surprise during tomorrow's d23 parks panel?

The Oprah was just named a Legend.

Why???

 

[Nubs70]

honestly, reading the Ralph-Disney Princess descriptions. Makes me think why have Disney never made a full on Princess crossover film?

Hardcore or softcore?

Not for lack of trying.

Thanks @PorterRedkey for finding it. Here's the booing from the Pirates panel. The first guy shouting "we wants the redhead" is not me. You can just catch me saying it at the end of the cheers.

 

[Princess Leia]

Belle, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, Moana, Vanellope, Anna, Merida, Tiana, Jasmine, Ariel. Wow. I don't even know if they got a picture like this when a few of them were in Enchanted.

No Ming-Na Wen, which makes me a little sad Also no Idina Menzel?

Also, for the record about the lack of Snow White and Cinderella- Adriana Caselotti (SW's voice actress) died 20 years ago, and Ilene Woods (Cinderella) passed away 7 years ago.

 

[LadyBelle]

No Ming-Na Wen, which makes me a little sad .

Ming-Na wasn't able to make the panel. But Mulan will be in the movie, per her Twitter post.

 

[JustInTime]

Why???

Do you really have to ask?

 

[Nubs70]

Do you really have to ask?

I did. Read further and question was answered.

Still think she really doesn't belong, along with several others.

 

[Brer Oswald]

I actually think that's a good possibility. The Switch has no problem running Unreal Engine 4 which is what the game uses and KH has sold well on Nintendo portables before. The real oddity is that it's releasing on Xbox which it has never been on before.

Oh it can definitely run it. It just depends on if Disney and Square are too stubborn to port it over or not.

 

[GCTales]

I believe these are PT.

seriously look forward to that Gaming Panel, especially Kingdom Hearts!!!

Of the last three of the day.. The "kiss goodnight" with Sherman and Norman......

I had no trouble getting into the Parks panel an hour before in 2015

Yep, Parks panel should be OK... they did offer a few "guaranteed" spots to those that preferred that over the live action... at the animation mixup... but the vast majority chose live action.

How can anyone wait in line for the Parks panel prior to 10:30am tomorrow when the Live Action panel starts?

My understanding was that you can't line up for a Hall D23 presentation (other than the first one of the day) until the previous panel starts.

There *should* be plenty of time to get a great place in line even if the line doesn't form until after the live action panel starts. Last Expo I had time after the live action to grab lunch, then got in line for Parks about 90 min before it started and was fine... so if the actual line starts around 10:30... should be OK. I think that after the two big panels there is a bit of "panel fatigue" going on and the parks panel is not as crazy. But that was last Expo... and we have seen extra craziness this year already, so your mileage may vary.

What? No Amy Adams?

as mentioned above, Mulan is showing.
Idina Menzel was also confirmed for Elsa.

also this
"Snow White and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty will also appear, though they will obviously be voiced by new actresses."

Cinderella was also mentioned in one of the footage scenes with a talking voice, same with SB.

So it seems like all the official Disney Princess are there. It's a shame they couldn't include the "Forgotten Disney Princess" and maybe increase their popularity a bit.

Even More Disney, I've seen it mentioned that Baymax will also appear,

Waiting for for D23 news on the east coast like...

You got to meet Tony Baxter himself?! I'm so jealous!

You need to check out my 'Tony Baxter Tour of Disneyland' thread in the Disneyland section of this Forum.
Read the last few pages...it's all there.
Pretty amazing saga, and the ultimate fan experience.

Try to read it soon, as all the photos I posted there are about to disappear thanks to Photobucket's recent changes.
So disappointed that my thread full of photos is about to become void of pictures.

In a nutshell, met Tony a couple of times. He likes the artwork I do featuring himself and Figment.
The most recent meeting was this past Autumn when a mutual friend arranged a meeting at Disneyland.
It was a amazing evening - tea and dinner at Club 33, then out into the Park to ride some Attractions together.
Ended up sitting at a table in a alley on Main Street talking about things while fireworks exploded in the background behind us.

I don't like to wish my life away, but hurry up 6pm!!

Ironic since Baxter is the reason we only get movie tie ins in the parks now. He got the ball rolling 30 years ago.

The reason for that is at the time it was felt Disneyland needed to have something of interest to excite current Park goers.
The Disney Company, particularly in the early 80s, was not the powerhouse it is today as far as contemporary cultural impact.
It was looked upon as old fashioned, and something only little kids and crusty old folks could enjoy.
There was a gap there in the entertainment offerings - very little appealed to the older kids, teens, and young adults and it was felt that needed to be remedied.

At that time ( mid-80s ) the feeling was that Disneyland was becoming a bit of a relic and needed to have something to excite the younger generation of Park goers.
Tony felt strongly about that aspect - having a good mix of Attractions that appealed to all audiences, as well as have more contemporary offerings to excite the newer generation of Park visitors.
There was nothing doing so at that time within Disney's own self owned IP collection.

So the decision was made to bring in creative film makers ( George Lucas ) and talented entertainers ( Michael Jackson ) and work with them to create new experiences that could liven things up a bit.
And boy did they ever.
'Captain EO' came first, then 'Star Tours', both of which were sensations when they first opened and became Guest favorites well afterwards.
