D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event—Coming to Anaheim Next August

For those that do not own gaming systems and hardly know, or care, what fortnight is lol, how would one view this?

Someone will record it and post it on YouTube.

Oh, wait... do you know what YouTube is?

Oh, wait... do you know what YouTube is?

Is that the website where the guy goes to the zoo?

hope someone gets this reference...

 

[JohnD]

I'm not saying it's the right decision, but I think this is the reason. They need to keep an air of exclusivity to this if they plan to do this again. Anyone who has a so-so experience this year may be very tempted to skip it and livestream in the future if it were offered.

My church live streams almost everything. But we had a specific event one time which required tickets for admission. Obviously, we didn't live stream.

 

[Gusey]

I think way to much is being read into the livestream decision.

My feeling is that since they are charging for admission to the Honda Center, they cannot just hand out a free live stream. because next time they do this, people are not going to pay to be there if they can sit at home and stream it.

And really, does anyone need to see the entertainment segments? All of the info will be released in near realtime, and we will have concept art as usual.

True. I do hope there is a video copy released somewhere though as a later date of the actual annoucements. Sometimes, the actual panel showcases concept art that is then never officially shown on the parks blog (2019 Avengers E-ticket announcement had 3/4 pieces of concept art although only 1 or 2 were actually released). Also, purely for an archival reason, Disney has recent been deleting Disney Park Blog posts from anything pre-2021, so details of some of the attractions announced previously can no longer be found unless you go back to the original panel (Again, 2019 Avengers E-ticket's whole story was revealed at the 2019 parks panel and can no longer be found unless you find videos of the panel)

Lol yes. And not everyone owns gaming systems or plays games on their PC.

There will certainly be someone streaming the Fortnite presentation, but it can also be played for free through a game streaming service like GeForce Now on any computer with decent internet access.

 

[Horizons '83]

People will pay to go if there's a live stream. It's about the experience of being there. being in the moment.

My local hockey team, the Chicago Blackhawks, did not televise their home games for a LONG time under the idea that if they are on TV, no one will go to the game. So what happened? An entire generation of fans who never cared about the Blackhawks because they couldn't watch them. Owner died. His kids put the team back on TV. They win 3 Stanley Cups.

Not this year

 

[MouseEarsMom33]

They aren't live streaming any of it to the public. The Fortnite stream is delayed by 90 minutes.

Some streaming news?

There are at least 6 references to "live" or "livestreamed" in this announcement. Maybe I am wrong, but it sounds like the panel will go long. Park and experiences will go first. Then at 10:30 it will switch to games and that's when they will live stream it.

Sooo...how do you watch something on Fortnite?

Imagine watching a screen within a screen, but in front of the screen it is a nonsensical series of avatars running around and doing weirdo online multiplayer stuff to one another.

 

[Tha Realest]

If true, I move from frustrated at a weird decision to not caring at all if it's just about the Fortnite work

What, you don’t want to watch a live presentation within a gaming universe while an avatar of Jack Sparrow teabags a member of the Fab Five off in the distance?

… me either.

I mean, this is how the “I have a dream” event went down in Fortnite:

Here’s how the Travis Scott concert went down too

That one was one of their first attempts to have an in-game event and it was randomly part of the battle royale game, so it was a mess. It's been 4 years, so hopefully they've nailed it down. It's been a while since I've played, so I'm not too sure how it works these days

Josh is going to be so cool

As usual, Tony is going to be there:

 

[Notes from Neverland]

As mentioned in the other thread, the Fortnite stream is a "special segment" of the presentation. Doesn't sound like it's the whole thing.

That makes more sense.

What were your main issues with 2022?

Ultimately it was just a lot of stress and hassle to get into the parks panel (and it seems that has only gotten worse this year). Even though it was cool being able to be "in the room" and get my novelty trinkets and whatnot I ultimately walked away thinking the livestream would've given me a similar if not better experience without all the stress and money. I really only attended D23 in general to go to the panel, so that may be part of it.

My sister and I have been discussing what time we will arrive at the convention center in the morning. One of us is going to check out how things are going at 5 am and base it off that. We don’t need to worry about standby for the first panel we want to attend since we both received a reservation for it. It just seems so different from 2022 and having to worry about getting into the queue for the main panels early in the morning.
