1:34.5 | Destination D23 at Disney's Contemporary Resort was a week and full of not only looking back on the Disney Parks and Studios history, but a peak at what's ahead as well. |
1:44.5 | And this week, we're going to debrief the event, recap what was announced, and reflect on what's to come, and what might not be. |

2:22.5 | This past weekend, Destination D23 was held at Disney's Contemporary Resort, and as part of this biannual event, D23, the official community for Disney fans celebrates some of those beloved moments and memories from the past hundred years. |
2:52.5 | Of the Walt Disney Company with behind the scenes stories, special guests, panels, presentations, and performances. |
3:00.5 | Not just looking back at the past hundred years, but what is to come and what does D23 looks to call the company's boundless future? |
3:09.5 | Clearly, some intentional words were used there, in addition to that, there's also shopping opportunities, and really it's an event surrounded by community. |
3:18.5 | And it's one of my favorite D23 events because it's so very different than the wonderfully overwhelming D23 Expo, which happens on alternating years. |
3:29.5 | So I thought we would do tonight is on our monthly WWW Nation chat, we would look at some of the takeaways from Destination D and react, reflect, and in a sort of what could be out of control roundtable, we're going to give it a shot anyway. |
3:48.5 | And what I'll do is also talk about some of the things that happened in where we're talked about at Destination D23 specifically as it refers to Walt Disney World. |
3:58.5 | And then I welcome you on the call members of the nation family to jump in and let's just let's just really get right into it because on Saturday, they really wanted to open up the weekend with a bang and parks, experiences and products, German Josh tomorrow presented what was called a celebration of the Disney parks, experiences and products. |
4:17.5 | Yesterday, today and tomorrow, so I thought we would go park by park and get a little bit of your thoughts about what was announced. |
4:27.5 | And I want to preface this by saying that I'm always fascinated first as a fan because that's what I am first. |
4:35.5 | And then as someone who likes to sort of sit back and watch and sort of take the temperature of the room as these things happen because I think we as Disney fans come into these events with expectations that we set on our own, sometimes possibly unrealistic, sometimes very wishful and hopeful thinking. |
4:58.5 | And I think in the spirit of this event specifically, they're often rooted in this wonderful passion, but more importantly, sense of nostalgia and sentiment that we have for Walt Disney World. |
5:14.5 | And I thought we would start in Epcot where a lot of the announcements surrounded and in no particular order. |
