D23 Expo 2015 Tips


The 2015 D23 Expo is just 1 week away from starting! It will run from August 14th to the 16th at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Is this your very first D23 Expo? With a few tips, you can make it the one of the best experiences you've ever had.


Arrive early: General admission into the show floor opens at 10am. Before then, there will be lines wrapped all around the front of the Anaheim Convention Center. You either can wait in those lines, or you can get in a relaxing way. Arrive around 9:30 and keep yourself occupied until about 10:30. Check in to a nearby coffee or bagel shop. By 10:30, there should be a very small, or no line. This allows you to walk right into the convention with ease. You won't be the first, but will be in very fast.

Snack, not eat: There are many different concession stands located around the show floor. There is also sit down dining locations inside. Lines are long and will easily take up a good chunk of your day. I recommend snacking on inside items or also going outside for a quick meal.

Manage your experience: If you are planning on seeing everything, and also possibly making a presentation, map out your day in advance. It will not take more than 45 minutes to walk around all the booths. Some pavilion lines will take longer than others, so take that into consideration. Download the official D23 Expo app for more.

Keep your eye out: You will never know you who could meet at D23! Celebrities are not just inside the presentations. Some are guests just like you! There are also numerous Disney Imagineers and Legends around.

Bring a backpack: Throughout the booths and other areas, you can be loaded with different flyers, articles and even books! A backpack is great to hold it all.

Disneyland is your neighbor: Disneyland Resort is located just across the street from the Anaheim Convention Center. It is in an acceptable walking distance. Downtown Disney is a great place to relax after a long day inside the expo. With a ticket into the parks, take the Downtown Disney Monorail terminal into the park.

Have a good time: The D23 Expo only comes once every other year. Enjoy your trip and make the best of it!
