D23 Expo is an exciting event held in Anaheim, California for ultimate Disney fans! Below are a few tips on how to survive D23!
Come Prepared: Know the schedule and have your choices marked (with backups incase you don't get into your first choice) There are more than 260 events within D23, so there is plenty of fun to be had!
Download the D23 App: The app contains a complete schedule for the event, bios, a show floor map, ways to highlight the key things you want to do - a must have tool for visiting the show!
StagePass: StagePass is like FastPass but for all shows and panels on Stages 23 and 28. Avoid waiting in lines and simply show up 15 minutes before the show begins and you'll be guaranteed a seat! You can pick up StagePasses on each day of the event from select locations around the show floor.
StorePass: Similar to StagePass, the brand new StorePass lets your reserve your time to shop at one of the three stores at the D23 Expo event. Guests can only hold a StorePass for one shop at a time, but standby lines will also be available for all three stores.
Dress Sensibly: The convention center is huge, make sure you wear suitable and comfortable shoes to walk around the event in!
Drink: Make sure you stay hydrated throughout the event. August heat, a packed day and a crowded convention center does not help - make sure you drink plenty!
And finally... It is highly unlikley that you will get the chance to see everything on offer at D23 Expo, create a list of the events/shows/stands you want to see and then anything else is a bonus! Be sure to check back on DisneyMagic for all the latest updates from D23!
