Hello at 12.49 PM from AQ at D23 Expo. We arrived yesterday and headed to

Disneyland for a while but today's the official started at D23 Expo.

If you follow people on social media that have been posting for Mary,

you might have seen some nightmare footage of how crowded things are and

how people got here at 4.30 in the morning.

That is not our experience.

So I just wanted to share our side of things

because we've done this many, many, many times.

So we have reasonable expectations and also kind of know what to do now. But we happen to have three day

tickets that allow us to go to the Anaheim Convention Center, which is where we are

now during the day. We also have three night tickets which is at the Honda Center, which is where the big panels are being presented this time in the evenings

including Saturday night, which is the parks and the experiences panel which includes the parks.

So we did not arrive before 30 includes the parks. So we did not arrive at 4.30 in the morning.

Those were mostly shoppers in the past that has been us when we were trying to get into

panels but we have seats so we don't have to worry about it. We didn't arrive until about 930.

Huge huge line to get through security but it moved quickly. Once we got in we headed right

towards a panel. If you have heard of the process for making reservations this time there was a chance to get

essentially virtual cues for panels ahead of time. We only got one

pre-booked reservation for a panel here, but it's not one that we requested. So we were doing standby lines.

The first one was the costume panel and it was designers who design things for

Disney theme parks and Disney cruises and it was just all the details that go into

everything that they create.
