This weekend’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event did not disappoint. The Walt Disney Company made some major announcements and shared some pretty exciting updates.
The big news highlighted upcoming projects across its various franchises, platforms, and theme parks.
D23 fans also had the chance to visit various booths and pavilions to learn about the announcements.
MickeyBlog stopped by the Imagineering Pavilion to check out the amazing models and concept art for all of the upcoming offerings.

Check out this concept art of Envisioning: Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The new image shows the updated layout of a more “lived-in” park with new attractions.
