2011 D23 Expo: Lee’s Thoughts on the “Headliner” Events

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I had a more positive D23 experience than Laura, probably because I was only there for two days and because I attended the ‘headliner’ events in the Arena both days I was there. Those were the only events that had designated Press seating, so I didn’t have to wait in line for hours and hours … Continue reading "2011 D23 Expo: Lee’s Thoughts on the “Headliner” Events"

How I Would Fix the D23 Expo

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
If you’ve been reading my blogs I’m sure you know that I was not very happy with this year’s D23 Expo. It was a very frustrating experience for me, and I talked to others who had much worse experiences than I did. There were a lot of “lowlights” and very few “highlights” for me this … Continue reading "How I Would Fix the D23 Expo"

2011 D23 Expo – Day 3

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Sunday – the final day of the D23 Expo. There were noticeably fewer people today – not that it made a great deal of difference in the lines. The sessions that started before noon were not packed (the Marvel session in the Arena was only 1/2 to 2/3 full), but the afternoon sessions were again … Continue reading "2011 D23 Expo – Day 3"

Laura’s husband, Lee, spent part of the afternoon Sunday on the Expo show floor taking pictures of some of the folks in attendance who dressed up in costumes. While not as prevalent as at an event like Comic-Con, there were a surprising number of costumed attendees.

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Day 2 of the Expo… The Expo is sold out today, so there’s even more people. So far I can’t tell if things are going a little better today or if I just don’t care as much. People started lining up OUTSIDE the convention center I don’t even know how early to get into the … Continue reading "2011 D23 Expo – Day 2"

D23 Expo 2011: Voices of the Parks

Posted on by Debra Martin Koma
(Author’s Note: I apologize for not getting this online sooner, but I came back from the D23 Expo with a cold, then experienced the big earthquake the next day — I live in the DC area, now getting ready for Hurricane Irene. Yes, this week has been a doozy! Anyhow…) Aside from the Friday night … Continue reading "D23 Expo 2011: Voices of the Parks"
