FIRST LOOK at the 2022 D23 Expo Guide Map!
Good morning from Anaheim!
It’s the first day of the D23 Expo and, although it is very, very early in the morning, us MickeyBloggers are up and ready for the magic to begin. After waiting in the queue line – that was extremely long and winding despite being only 4.30am – our MickeyBlog reporter Greg made it into the convention center, and we can’t wait to get looking around!
Of course, there is so much to see, do, and explore at this fan-favorite celebratory event. Even though we have been counting down the days to D23 for months, it can be a tad overwhelming getting our bearings and deciding where to head first, especially so early in the morning!
So, in true Disney style, expo Cast Members were ready to pass out these handy event guides, full of everything we’ll need to help us make the most of the expo experience! These were being passed out at the entrance to the convention, along with lanyards and tote bags, so let’s step to the side and check out everything that’s in-store for us this weekend…
The guide is a dreamy blue in color, featuring a silver-clad Mickey Mouse stood in a wave of magic below the D23 Expo logo. Beneath him is the Disney 100 logo, alongside the most exciting of slogans: “The Celebration Starts Here.”
We simply can’t wait to see what’s in store!
Opening up the guide, and we are met with a handy, detailed map of the entire convention. Each stall and booth is marked out, as well as every attraction, display, and – of course – the stages!
Guests visiting the convention this weekend are able to utilize the D23 Expo app, which serves as a smart guide for all the goings-on of the event. However, we do love having this hard copy of the map and guidebook, which will also make a great keepsake souvenir from the expo!
One of the top, must-see attractions of the expo this year is Walt’s Plane, which touched down on the West Coast at the start of the month. It’s a fantastic tribute to view and admire, and we’re sure the lines for the plane will be long all throughout the weekend!
As well as the map of the convention – which includes useful information about food, restrooms, and other amenities at the event – there is also a printed schedule of all the panels set to take place over the weekend.
There are so many amazing panels on the schedule, spread out between a range of large stages.
Thankfully, for guests unable to attend the expo in person, D23 will be livestreaming the panels from their website, which can be accessed and viewed here. Make sure you bookmark that link – it’s going to be a busy weekend of exciting announcements!
All of us at MickeyBlog are so excited to be able to share this fantastic event with our readers. Make sure you stay tuned to MickeyBlog.com all weekend, as we’ll be reporting on all the biggest news from the D23 expo, the parks, and beyond!
