BURBANK, Calif. – March 9, 2012 – All
the magic and excitement of the past, present and future of Disney
entertainment will come together once again when D23: The Official Disney Fan
Club presents an all-new D23 EXPO at the Anaheim Convention
Center on Aug. 9-11, 2013.
“The D23 Expo has become a
phenomenal way for Disney fans to see everything they love about Disney all in
one place — from Disney’s biggest stars and latest innovations to unforgettable
performances live on stage,” said Steven Clark, head of D23: The Official
Disney Fan Club, which produces the bi-annual D23 EXPO. “Our third Expo
is sure to create even more magical new experiences and memories for our
biggest fans attending from throughout the U.S. and around the globe.”
“Anaheim is extremely pleased that the
D23
EXPO will be returning next year,” said Charles Ahlers, president,
Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau. “This
exciting event is quickly becoming an industry icon, drawing Disney fans from
around the world. The Anaheim community truly appreciates and enjoys this
quality show and positive impacts it brings.”
More than 40,000 Disney fans
attended D23 EXPO 2011, which
brought together the entire world of Disney under one roof for three
star-studded days and nights. Fans were treated to appearances by superstars
like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Regis Philbin and Billy Crystal;
enjoyed performances by Dick Van Dyke, The Muppets and Disney princess voice
talent Jodi Benson, Paige O’Hara, Lea Salonga and Anika Noni Rose; previewed
concept art and attractions coming from Disney Parks and Walt Disney
Imagineering; glimpsed back at Disney’s rich history through extraordinary
panels, presentations and exhibits; and discovered the newest entertainment,
technology, and products from The Walt Disney Company.
Among
the highlights of D23 EXPO 2013 will be expanded capacities at some
of our most popular venues; the 2013 Disney Legends Ceremony, which honors the
talented men and women who have made significant contributions to the Disney
legacy; Treasures of the Walt Disney
Archives, a treasure trove of crown jewels from
the Walt Disney Archives; the bustling aisles of the Collectors Forum, where Disney fans can buy,
sell and trade Disney collectibles, memorabilia and merchandise; and a massive
show floor full of special opportunities to see what’s on the horizon for
Disney around the world—and where guests may bump into their favorite Disney
stars, characters, Imagineers, animators and filmmakers.
