D23 expo was this past weekend at the Anaheim convention center. It comes ever other year and it was my first time going.
I decided to go as Vanessa, Ursuala’s alter ego on land. The costume I made turned out great. 
I got in line about 7 am the convention opened at 10 am.
The nice thing is that D23 expo had stage pass for some panels. It’s basically like a fast pass so you don’t have to wait in line for hours and hours. I was able to stag a pass for the shorts panel.
The short panel discussed the different shorts featured in the new DVD. The coolest thing was a sketch book they gave to all audience members.
Another cool thing about the expo was a chance to visit the Disneyland archives. It featured props from rides, photos, badges, and costumes. I took a ton of photos.
This was the end of the collection. Amazing!!!
There were tons of phot opportunities and amazing cosplays. I was lucky to take some photos with some amazing cosplayers.
I really was a fan of cosplayers that cosplayed less popular characters, Mr. and Mrs. Darling (Wendy’s parents) Olivia (Great Mouse Detective) King Steffan and the Queen (Aurora’s parents) and the Haunted Mansion (Amber Arden’s tightrope girl was amazing)
There was another great opportunity to take a photo on a Star Wars speed racer. It was pretty awesome.
I attended an artist signing of Jasmine Becket Griffith. I love her art work. Picket up a Snow White postcard. 
Disney Infinity has a booth too. Uou had an opportunity to choose one of six figurines after their interactive experience. I was one of the last in line to get this opportunity, the line was two hours long but for a free infinity figure so worth it.
I picked up Sadness. She’s so cute.
Got to get a sneak peak of Disney Shanghai.
And another sneak peek of Pandora at Animal Kingdom
Plus there will be a lot of exciting with the announcement of Star Wars land in Disneyland and DisneyWorld. So much exciting new developments and expansions. It’s an amazing era for Disney. Can’t wait to see all the developments completed.
Plus all the cute products that will come out soon for Disney style at the Disney store.
It was an amazing day and I ended the day sailing back to the sea. After all Vanessa can’t remain on land forever. 
I did buy a few things and scored some free stuff. I loved my Aristocats prints I bought and my Disney Vans. I loved the Ariel ones. Ironic that Vanessa bought Ariel shoes but it was the only way to get a little mermaid.
It was a fabulous day can’t wait for 2017. Thanks for reading, have a magical day.
