Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily. Today is Monday August 12th

2024 on today's episode of the show we're going to be talking about the biggest news

from this year's d23 expo. My name is Ben Pearson I am an editor at slash filmcom and I'm joined on today's episode by

slash film editor Jacob Hall. Hello hello?

All right Jacob you just got back from a whirlwind trip to Anaheim California you

were there in person covering the D23 Expo.

There's a big Friday night panel presentation

from Disney showing off all sorts of stuff.

I've linked to all of the footage recaps and reactions and news articles and stuff like that that we have published at slash film in the show notes for this episode.

So if anybody wants to like do a true deep dive into all of the details, we don't have time to get into all of that today, but I want to make that as easy as possible for people to track down.

So before we get into some of the favorite things that you saw Jacob and most interesting things that you saw,

what was it like being there? This is your first big work trip in a little while and first time at D23 in a bit so what was the vibe like?

Yeah I haven't been to Anaheim since 1991 when I was three years old.

I've talked before in this podcast about being a big Disney guy and big theme

guy but I was always a Disney world kid growing up you know four to five years my

family would take a trip to Florida so it was really cool to get the Anaheim and

you know Friday it was a work day you know it's but all that day you know making

sure someone slash from com was taken care of and telling the panel and working at the

team at coverage up then Saturday you know I stayed a bit longer on my own dime, you know, went to Disneyland

for the first time since, you know, three years old and just, wow, what a great time, what a great,

what a great park. I don't people always say that Disneyland hits differently than Disney

world and it really does. I had such a good time. I don't know how much you or anybody else
