We’re coming at you live from the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California!
This enormous event is taking place September 9th-11th and it’s jam-packed with panels, new exhibits, and huge announcements. And, thanks to Disney’s media event, we were able to get a first look at a new Walt Disney statue coming to Disney World!
As previously announced, EPCOT is getting a new statue themed after the man, the myth, the legend — Walt Disney! And today, we got a first look!

The statue, Walt The Dreamer, will be calling EPCOT home very soon! But before he makes his way to Disney World, guests on the west coast will be able to check him out at the D23 Expo as part of the Wonderful World of Dreams pavilion.
So, if you’re going to the D23 Expo, be sure to take a look at this special nod to Walt Disney! And for more D23 Expo offerings to look forward to, take a look at the exhibit featuring Walt Disney’s plane. Or check out some of the panels taking place during this event.
And we’ll continue to bring you the latest from the D23 Expo, so stay tuned to AllEars for the latest!
