Um,
Well maybe Muppets are lower on the list, but count me as one that likes them all.
Its honestly not all the hard to believe that there are portions of the population that like all these IPs and more all at the same time.

No kidding. Or obscure people that are probably very nice, are apparently talented in some capacity, but don't have good name recognition. Perhaps someone in Burbank should look up the definition of the word "legend".
From that list above that @Disney Irish posted, here's what those names mean to me as a Disneyland fan...
Anthony Anderson = No Clue.
Kristen Bell = Rings a bell, pardon the pun. A comedienne? But not Kristen Wiig, obviously.
Chadwick Boseman = The young man from Black Panther who passed away suddenly.
Rob’t Coltrin = No clue. But isn't there a vowel or two missing? Or does the apostrophe identify as a vowel?
Patrick Dempsey = Rings a bell. But still no clue.
Robert Price “Bob” Foster = No Clue, or even "No Clue".
Jonathan Groff = No Clue.
Don Hahn = Rings a bell. An animation guy, right?
Josh Gad = The voice of the snowman in Frozen.
Doris Hardoon = No Clue. Love that name though! I'd happily sit next to her at a dinner party.
Idina Menzel = An actress or singer. John Travolta butchered her name at the Oscars that one year.
Chris Montan = No Clue.
Ellen Pompeo = No Clue.
Tracee Ellis Ross = No Clue. But she's spent her life telling people how to spell her first name correctly. Two E's.
So I'm confident I got 3 out of 14; the young man who passed away suddenly, the snowman from Frozen, and the lady who works in Hollywood in some capacity whose name was butchered on national television by John Travolta. Legends!

A lot of what's on the 100 anniversary poster is ongoing properties which make them rife for D23 announcements. It's just not random Disney miscellany.
Y'all wanna know what's going to be announced/showcased at D23, right? It's in the poster:
Recently Released (and maybe a sequel/series)
Projects in the Works
Representation/Part of the History
Questions

- What is the five point star next to Waldo? We already have Cap's shield in the upper left.
- The curvy sword to the right of Oswald is Raya's sword. Is she represented because she was relatively recent, or because there will be a followup sequel/series?
- What's Oswald doing there? Just for history or will he get animated again?
- EVE is there, so, will there be a WALL*E sequel?
- Are the monkey and dolphin supposed to represent DAK and The Seas, or NatGeo?
- Winnie the Pooh is there, so, a new show?
- Rapunzel's hair: Will there be more Rapunzel animated series?

I'll give you a hand with this summary:
9 are actors/actresses that have worked at Disney in one form or another from TV to Movies.
2 are from WDI
2 are from Studios
1 is from primarily Parks/Legal, specifically was "key" in helping acquire the land where WDW is today.

I don't entirely hate the poster, but it's a little too 'children's menu' or 'back of a Captain Crunch box' for me.
It also says "D23" on it. So, unless one is a D23 member, I can't imagine one wanting it.
This just tells me that you don’t watch television.

Does anybody?
I don't. Most of my time is taken up by yelling at irksome clouds.

Wait, do people actually watch television? I don't mean streaming, I mean television. Do people really do that? I've not watched TV in years. If I want to watch something, I go to YouTube or streaming. All the shows I watch are from streaming, not cable, and I know that's the case for everybody else I know.
I have Hulu+Live with video recording (which has been automatically folded into 'the bundle'). So, any show that's aired live that I want to watch (and is not part of one of my streaming subs) is recorded. And I get to watch it on demand.
So, yes I watch "TV," but, no, not live.
Yes, people actually watch television.

Can't tell if this post is a joke or not. I don't think the intention is everything on the poster gets a new entry.
Also the Yellow Submarine is from the ride at Disneyland. Disney was making a Yellow Submarine film with Robert Zemeckis 10 years ago but it was cancelled.
And yet, 90% of what's in the poster represents recently added or in-the-works media content or parks attraction.
I very highly doubt that's the case. Occam's Razor says that's for the relatively recent Peter Jackson Get Back documentary. There's a bunch of images that represent releases in the past year such as Mulan, which came out at about the same time.

That's just synergy for you, I wouldn't read too much into it.
Get Back was produced by Apple Records and Disney bought the digital distribution rights. The home video version doesn't have any mention of Disney at all.
edit: Disney owns the home video distribution rights as well, but they did not finance or make the film, just the distribution rights.
Are you saying this film will now be a reality?
