The D23 Expo has begun and we’ve been checking out everything the fan event has to offer (and sharing it all with you!).

We’ve seen celebrities, a peek at 100th Anniversary merchandise, unique D23 Gold member gifts, and SO much more. But we weren’t alone!
HUGE crowds have descended on Disney’s D23 Expo!

Early in the morning on September 8th, 2022, there were a lot of people waiting outside of the Anaheim Convention Center, all getting ready to explore the show floor and panels that would be held within.

These were just some of the crowds we saw at around 12:35PM ET, 9:35AM PT.

People were eager to check out everything the D23 Expo had to offer (and we can’t say we blame them).

Considering that the D23 Expo is entirely sold out for this weekend, these crowds aren’t all that surprising.

Still, it’s impressive to see just how MANY people arrived at the Expo bright and early this morning (though we know many arrived much earlier in the morning).

If you are heading to the Expo this weekend, be prepared for some BIG crowds, not just to get in, but for everything inside the Expo too (and yes, that includes the bathrooms — we saw some long bathroom lines today).
If you aren’t going to the D23 Expo this year, you can still participate in the fun by watching the D23 Expo livestream and shopping D23 Expo collections online. We’ll be covering all the BIG news from the Expo, so stay tuned for more updates!
