Well It is about that time of year, The ultimate Disney fan Expo returns to Anaheim Ca.

The Walt Disney Archives Invites Guests to Explore 100 Years of Wonder at D23 Expo 2022

By the D23 Team

The Walt Disney Archives returns to D23 Expo presented by Visa with an all-new exhibit, exciting panels, and a closer look at a rarely-seen piece of Disney history!  

Step Into an All-New Exhibit
We know fans look forward to a new exhibit from the Walt Disney Archives that lets D23 Expo attendees explore Disney history right on the show floor—and this year’s exhibit will be especially timely. Guests will experience Walt Disney Archives presents Step in Time, an exhibit celebrating the nearly 100-year history of The Walt Disney Company. As part of the kick-off to Disney100, this chronological exhibition will showcase Walt Disney Archives historical assets like never before with immersive, themed environments from animated shorts, films, and film premieres, as well as television productions and Disney Parks favorites, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mary Poppins, Tron, and Walt Disney World Resort’s Haunted Mansion. The exhibition will provide fans an opportunity to experience some of the most iconic Disney moments over the course of September 9, 10, and 11 at the Anaheim Convention Center during the Expo hosted by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. 

A timeline in the center of the exhibit will showcase the breadth of extraordinary Disney events over the past century and will act as a guide for visitors as they journey through the 12,000-square-foot experience. Guests will have the chance to literally “Step in Time” into various immersive areas around the perimeter of the space, showcasing rare historical objects as never before, in recreations of the settings from which they originated.

The gallery space will be divided into nine highly themed areas, inviting fans to capture photos and become part of Disney’s rich history themselves. From captaining the boat in Steamboat Willie, walking the blue carpet at the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and visiting with the carousel horses from Mary Poppins, to being serenaded by Breathless Mahoney at Club Ritz (Dick Tracy), visiting Flynn’s Arcade (Tron), and coming face-to-face with the bride in the attic of the Haunted Mansion, fans will have the opportunity to relive moments from 100 Years of Wonder, all while making new memories to last a lifetime.

The Walt Disney Archives Stage Returns
Disney history fans, rejoice! The popular Walt Disney Archives Stage returns, hosting more than a dozen panels and presentations throughout the weekend. Notables such as Disney Legend Bill Farmer, Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline, author and historian Graham Allan, Walt Disney Imagineering global ambassador Bob Weis, Imagineers from the Illusioneering Lab, and historian and artist Stacia Martin will offer a unique peek “behind the magic.” Fans will enjoy exploring many of Disney’s worlds, including the impressive 50-year legacy of the Main Street Electrical Parade, a look back at the 1980s and 1990s edition of the Mickey Mouse Club, and the first half-century of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Plus, join the Archives team and special guests on the 1,250-seat Backlot stage on Saturday, September 10, at 10 a.m. for a look at the creation of the upcoming Disney100: The Exhibition, which opens next February at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Sorry Saturday Tickets are sold out.

An Exhibit We’re Just Plane Crazy About
Earlier this year, it was announced that Walt Disney’s Grumman Gulfstream I airplane will be on display at D23 Expo. To accompany the return of this piece of Disney history, which is having its exterior restored and will be available for guests to see in the Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center, the Walt Disney Archives has curated an all-new exhibit featuring specially selected items that represent the history of the aircraft. Included will be a customized instrument panel originally located near Walt’s favorite onboard seat (enabling him to monitor flight conditions), a telephone handset (which gave Walt a direct line of communication to the pilot in the cockpit), and a flight bag adorned with an image of Mickey Mouse sitting on the tail of the famed plane.

A limited number of single-day tickets for Sunday of D23 Expo 2022 are available for $99 for one-day adult admission and $79 for children ages 3–12. Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club can purchase tickets for $89 for a one-day adult admission. Single-day Friday and Saturday tickets and three-day passes are sold out. For more information on tickets and D23 Expo 2022, visit D23Expo.com.

Schedule and talent are subject to change.

We are planning on going on Sunday the 11th, so we will be posting from the Anaheim Convention Center. Please stay tuned for more news as it comes in.

What is Happening to Walt Disney's 1st Theme Park? Disneyland #197

Please Follow and share our blog for new and exciting news and information on all things Disney. Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, Pixar, D23 Expo, and All future Entertainment happening in the Disney Parks. Cosplay ect.

2020 has been a bad year for the entire planet, Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which has taken over our world, killing millions of people, unemployment, closing restaurants, malls, church gatherings, Expos, comic cons, movie theaters, Cruise lines and travel ect.. and yes even our beloved theme parks, No not just Disney... but all amusement parks.

As the covid-19 had spread it had even closed countries borders and had all of the people shelter in place. Well almost all countries. Not the United States.

As the world tries to reopen, and get things back to a semi normal life, The Disney Theme Parks have all opened fully, except the Disneyland Resort. Disney had furloughed everyone back in March, saying "Dont worry your jobs are secure" when we open up you'll have your jobs to come back to.

Well now Knott's Berry Farm hasn't reopened its rides or attractions, They still have the outside open to eat in and go shopping. Just recently in the past few months, they are selling tickets to special foodie events inside the park. the latest is Fall-O-Ween and you can dress up.

But Not The Disneyland Resort.... except for downtown Disney shopping.

Who is to blame? our Governor? or the Walt Disney Company?

Just Last week The Disney Company laid off over 28,000 Cast members, Musicians, and Hotel Cast Members, Disney Fine Artists, claiming they would let go the part time people. NOT True!!!

I know of at least two fulltime employee's who were FIRED!

It's time for Disney to stop this madness!!

If and when Disneyland Resort in Anaheim ever reopens, Will people (Guests) ever return?

What are your thoughts? We want to hear from you!!!

D23 EXPO FRIDAY AUGUST 23RD, FROM COSPLAY TO MOVIES AND BEYOND #196

Please follow and share our blog for new and exciting news and information on all things Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Fox, Pixar, D23 Expo,and all future entertainment happenings in the Disney Parks, Cosplay etc. If you would like to see the pictures larger, just click on them.

Hello everybody, from the Anaheim convention center. E Ticket To Tomorrowland blog was reporting on Friday's events. Friday August the 23rd 2019

Cinderella, Belle and Giselle

We arrived around 11:30 AM. I was amazed at the talent these people of all ages who make their own costumes.They must spend months to even years creating those special Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars costumes. I overheard the guy who made his own helmet from the 1980's movie The Rocketeer, he said it took him two years to make it.

Look at the detail that they put into their costumes.

Cassie at Glimmerwood had created several Princesses as fairy costumes. The theme was Disney Hollow. I took this picture of her with my wife. This is her Fairy Godmother costume from the 2015 Cinderella film.

The theme for this year was Haunted Mansion 50th anniversary. There were lots of exhibits and contests to win the Design Challenge $2300.00 prize. Our friend Robert Lisinsky, a 3D paper artist created this Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion, He showed me the hidden Mickeys in his artwork.

                              

Robert with his masterpiece.

There were vendors selling their items and vintage Disney art and collectibles.

Speaking of pirates, Carla met up with Captain Jack Sparrow and I met Red, I see she had escaped the Auction block as I saw she still had the rope tied to the back of her.

Now I will show more mousequerade cosplayer costumes.

One of the exhibits on the main hall " Heroes & Villains" was the actual costumes and props used in movies from Tron Legacy, Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmatians, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cinderella Live action , TV show Once Upon a Time, Now you can see where the cosplayer's came up with the designs to make their costumes. 

You can see the red T on this costume, although he was Rinzler, he became his true self at the end of the movie TRON.

Cosplayers flocked to see the costumes. Here is Tim Allen's Santa Clause 3 Suit.

These were really great costumes from the Walt Disney archives. I am glad I got to see them up close.

I am jealous as I live here in So. California and never have been to Orlando to the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom, where you soon will be getting the new Tron Lightcycle Roller Coaster. Here is a the actual ride vehicle that will be on the track, along with the Cast Member costumes. On the back of the suit are their identity discs.

Well that is all for this year, as it was my birthday weekend, so we spent just Friday at D23 Expo. I hope you enjoyed our visit. and if by any chance we took a picture of you, please leave a comment and please follow our blog, as we will continue to report on future shows and events.

bye bye Anaheim Convention Center.

until our next visit.  shooting for Wondercon.
