D23 Expo 2017 - News & Speculation

[epcyclopedia]

Guests on Twitter are celebrating their seating locations for parks and resorts so they're being let in or at least grouped.

In Star Wars Land news, Towbridge dropped a few small tidbits. Each CM role has a backstory and a way to lend to the story of the experience in the land. There will be droids and characters roaming about. There will be interactive offerings outside of the two main attractions. Lots of care put into sightlines to keep it unobtrusive in the parks and vice versa. Largest single land expansion at both DLR and WDW.

If someone would hack it, they would most likely get their video on Youtube (or channel) taken completely down. And as for Twitter, i'd assume similar.

Be patient, and be respectful of that people payed money to go to D23.

Meanwhile...

Never mind the movie panel, I may not even get into the Expo at all as I screwed up pretty majorly.

May have to sit back and watch the results come in with everyone else unless I can get this fixed.

Hold my beer.
