It’s time to celebrate a VERY important Disney milestone! D23: The Official Disney Fan Club and Walt Disney Imagineering are teaming up for a very special online event D23 x Walt Disney Imagineering Magical Milestones – Disney California Adventure Park 20th Anniversary.
This event will feature a grand gathering of Imagineers that will take guests on a journey that covers everything from park origins to milestones, to park artwork and beautiful storytelling.
