Joe is no longer the lead of the Marvel portfolio. Scot Drake took it over.

Do you know what Joe is in charge of now?

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

I think so but you can line up for the panel anytime before.

Define “lots” lol.

Gotcha so do they separate you outside before doors open? As in is there a line for just parks and a line for general admission outside right now? Sorry for all the questions lol

Wearing big earrings?

Wearing big earrings?

Darling, the earrings wear *him*.

We’re waiting in here right now.

This is where you go when you’re going early. That far wall is where show floor people go.

Joe is now in charge of The marvel portfolio so he will no doubt be at the presentation tomorrow talking up Avengers Land for DCA. Don’t expect anything for DAK for a long time.

Do you know what Joe is in charge of now?

No idea. I’m not sure if he took another role or just kept the DAK portfolio.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

@EricsBiscuit you might actually be good. Line seems smaller than for the movie panel.

Last time this was so long it spilled to the sidewalk outside the convention center.

Whew!

Awesome, you get to be up close and personal with me!

 

[munchiezxx]

Are people allowed to livestream again? If they are I’m definitely canceling plans tomorrow

Honest question: Is D23 actually fun?

The idea of flying to SoCal and waiting in a line ALL NIGHT just to get a spot to hear some movie announcements and new clips that I can easily digest later on from the comfort of my own home.....just does not sound appealing at all.

Is attending this really more about Disney fan cred at this point?

In some respects, yes.
You are smart to stay home and enjoy from a distance.

There are some fun elements in attending, but I found that my experience in 2015 consisted of mostly walking around looking at overpriced everything and standing in long lines for several hours.
It became repetitive pretty quick , and I was exhausted by day's end without really feeling like I accomplished much.
I was on my own, so the experience of waiting in long lines is likely more fun when you have a friend with you.
I was like the 'invisible dragon', and didn't have anyone.

It was fun to see the show floor displays ( particularly, the Disney Archives and Imagineering Pavillion ).
It was fun to see fans dressed in their cool costumes.
It was fun to browse the Imagneering shop ('after the hour and half long wait to be allowed into that area....)

One of the most fun moments was just walking around outside the front of the Convention Center and looking at all of the attendees dressed in their costumes, cosplay outfits, and 'bounding' gear.
That was one of the few activites that didn't require standing in a long , long line to enjoy.
The food trucks outside the venue were a nice distraction, too.

After my first experience at the Expo in 2015, I don't really have any interest in doing another.
If I DID in the future, I would only go for one day and just stroll.

For an event that speaks about immersive worlds this waiting room could have been a bit more, well, imaginative. Kuddos to you @Mike S (and others) for your discipline and efforts to be there, and provide us with updates about D23. Much appreciated!

I know I’m late but Moana in Epcot just lol I give up with these people

Ok, quick thoughts before I catch some sleep then head to the line for parks.

Animation stole the show. Everything looks amazing. Onward had me on the verge of tears at one point. Soul looks very interesting and Raya is STUNNING. Mulan, Jungle Cruise and Black Widow look great for the live action. Star Wars surprised me that they’re actually doing what people thought they would. Overall I really enjoyed it.

One more thing, we didn’t just get a Star Wars poster. We also got Frozen 2 and Onward

Wow, just realized I skipped Frozen 2 in this.

It looks great. We heard some new catchy jingles and I really enjoy the direction they’re taking it in. Humor still as good as the first. Hopefully this doesn’t disappoint like Wreck it Ralph 2 did.

No problem! Sorry for the late response as I am just seeing this now since my notifications are CRAZY. I had fun seeing all the stuff they put out. Thank you for all the help. Tomorrow, I have things to do during the Parks Panel so I can't share tweets! Hopefully someone at the panel can help out. I am so excited for all the new info though!

I should be on, so I’ll post what I can.

I would be looking at the feeds anyways so I might as well share what I find.

 

[smile]

Omg I hope I can get in!

We’re going to be right up front most likely.

with great power comes great responsibility

... have fun, doods!

 

[Figments Friend]

It's 2am here on the East Coast, and I can't sleep.
I feel like I'm in line at the Expo with Mike S, trying to get some sleep on a hard concrete floor.

Maybe I need to just stay up all night and keep him entertained...?

No, seriously....try to get some sleep, Mike.
You will want to be fully awake tomorrow.
