D23 Expo: 60 Years at WDI

By D.Z. "Theme Park Specialist"
Because of the 60th year of Walt Disney Imagineering, the D23 Expo will hold a number of presentations, along with a pavilion. D23 is calling it an "open house," as it covers all three days. A pavilion will be set up, where guests can get up close and personal with inventions. Plus, they get to meet designers and builders. Besides the pavilion, the presentations will allow guests to learn more about the WDI history and what it involves.

D23 has already released a number of presentations: Please note this was copied directly from D23.
