Are you going to D23?

Sorry it’s been a bit since my last post, things have been a whorl wind around here with the end of summer school (and my final class in my MBA thank you very much!) and work.  Yeah, I have a ‘boring’ day job too… so this site takes a back seat to that when things are hoppin’ at work like they have been.  It doesn’t hurt that things around Disney have been quiet as we expected with the exception of the recent string of unfortunate accidents.  Are prayers go out to those who’ve recently lost a loved one at Disney.

The fun news this month has been the build up to D23 of course, which I’m happy to report I (along with a friend and former Disney employee) will be attending.  Just today in fact it appears that Disney has begun issuing the online tickets for the Expo. 

Here is a peek at what they’ve sent to those of us to date:

Dear E-Ticket holder, Attached please find a PDF of your E-Ticket(s) to the D23 Expo. Please save this PDF to your computer and PRINT ALL necessary tickets. If you ordered multiple tickets, you MUST PRINT OUT each individual ticket. You will need to redeem your E-Ticket in the main lobby of the Anaheim Convention Center on the date of your confirmed attendance. Please make note of the Expo Hours listed below. Parking: Parking is available at the Anaheim Convention Center for $12 a day. Per Anaheim Convention Center policy, no special or complimentary parking rates will be offered to Annual Passholders at any of the lots, including overflow lots, for this event. Shuttles: The Anaheim Resort Transit will operate buses to and from the Anaheim Convention Center. Please check their schedule (www.rideart.org) for times and pick up/drop off locations. Hours: Ticketing will begin at 7 a.m. each day of the Expo. The show floor will open at 8 a.m. for D23 Members and 9 a.m. for the general public. The show floor will close at 5 p.m, with additional programming at the Expo theaters continuing throughout the evening. Line Formation: No on property line ups will be allowed at the Anaheim Convention Center prior to 5 am. For additional information please visit www.D23Expo.com. We look forward to seeing you at the Expo!

The box in the bottom right has my name, a bar code and the length of the pass (a 4 day in my case).

Disney did a great job with the Expo website and the links through to hotels in the area of the convention center as well.  Bravo on that.  we’ll be staying literally right across the street from the convention center, so it should be fun!
