1. How early should I arrive in the morning?
2. How long should I expect to wait for Parks & Resorts as well as Legends of Walt Disney Imagineering? How early should I get in line?
3. How quick does the merch sell out? I really want to buy some of the EPCOT Center stuff.
Thank you everybody!
Thank you for all of the help! I will definitely take your advice at the expo. You don't know how much this reply means to me!
How about the Sunday for a general admission person? Should I try to arrive around the time they let you start lining up? How exactly will being general admission going to affect me, particularly at opening? And would I be able to snag a StagePass for Voices? (Based on what you've said above, I'm guessing I'd be unable to get into the Lion King panel) Haven't been to the Expo since 2011.
I have a question!
I really want to see the parks and resorts presentation, and from what it sounds like, this is something that's doable without camping. I'm willing to wait a few hours. But here's my question. What if I have to pee? Is your spot saved in line somehow? Should also note, I'll be there alone.
They will do a bag check, but it's similar to the bag check done at Disneyland. You can bring small snacks (think granola bars, bagged PB+J's), but you can't bring a whole turkey roast. You can bring a water bottle, but you can't bring a glass San Pellegrino bottle in. Pack like you're going to Disneyland, but a bit lighterSo I'm reading the FAQs on the D23 expo website, it says no outside food or drink allowed. How hard is this enforced? Am I gonna have my water bottle confiscated? Am I gonna get busted for a couple of granola bars? Are they really this extreme? Or is it lax.

I should have trusted to. Showed up at 9. Waited an hour before I decided I'd be standing in like for literally several more hours. I'm gonna go back to my room and rest my feet. I feel like that's more productive than standing in line. And ultimately getting nothing more for it.I cannot stress enough how utterly insane the scene is trying to get into the Convention Center on Friday morning.
Thousands upon thousands of people waiting around in insanely long lines outside in the sun, many confused as to what line they are actually standing in.
Organization and information on what line was what, or even where the end of a line was when you arrived is non-exsisting.
You have to figure it out on your own, and take a guess as to what line you are supposed to be in wether a D23 Gold/Silver Member , or a lowly commoner with general admission such as myself.
Nobody knows where the end of the line is...so try your luck finding it on your own.
Expo staff usually don't know.
The freak heat wave that took place during the last Expo made it all the more challenging....standing in a literal sea of bodies in the baking sun, sweating it out before even getting in the building.
By the time one actually managed to get inside, you were exhausted already.
I remembering having to sit down for about 20 minutes just to collect myself from the madness going on around me.
It was a lousy way to begin my first Expo experience, thus why I skipped 'early' entry the following two days and walked in after the venue had opened with no entry lines whatsoever.
I was still able to do everything I wanted to, but obviously was not targeting morning panels.
So save your sanity kids and skip early entry on Friday.
Sleep in.
Unless you absolutely HAVE to be there for whatever reason when the doors open, hold off and enter an hour later with little to no entry lines.
