I’m still kind of reeling from the Hunger Games-esque registration, the last three days have been something to watch. I’m really curious to see how the team manages the logistics of the new expanded event, certainly a lot of changes to introduce all at once. Decided to stick to my 2022 plan...

The “smaller” panels have been our favorites for years - more bang for your buck, often more in depth and well-researched.

You may want to check the smaller individual vendors in the Emporium, I’m sure they will have something Chipmunks!* *I got a vintage Dale cell from Van Eaton Galleries.

True, but the impact with two levels of reservations was staggering: 250 standby out of 7500 seats? Ouch!

I’ve seen speculation that Marvel requested to hold seats, which ate into the bank of other seats. Hence the small standby group. Interesting. The whole 2:30am thing is another issue. I can’t remember a time when Saturday entry was worse than Friday.

We had 84 yesterday for the Marketplace and the timing was pretty accurate, it was called just before 11:30am.

Scored a decent virtual queue for the Marketplace but headed over to the ACC at 6:30am anyway. No wait for security, it was amazing! Was funneled into Hall E to wait, so I wasn’t stuck outside. They moved us around 9:20am due to congestion upstairs and then we ended up in C instead of A, but I...

It was a bag from a specific company, they only confirmed there wouldn't be a collaberation with SHAG previously - not that they would or would not have something else at the Expo. This morning they finally confirmed that they would be there with one bag. ;) Still don't know exactly where...

My merchandise wish was finally confirmed this morning, so now I have to to see what store it will be in...I have a theory, but it's just that...a theory. Ha! I figure I will be standby for one of the stores for most of Friday, given my distrust of the app for the virtual queue.

Weather is getting hotter on Friday and the chance of rain on Saturday is increasing. Good times!

It seems that while we don’t have a lot of specific information at this point…Disney seems to have spent some time thinking about logistics of moving people in. I’m cautiously optimistic but I’m still expecting a complete cluster…lowered expectations and all that. Re: Food and drink -...

Some of my favorite experiences are things I wasn’t 100% on that turned out awesome! Anything Archives driven, panels on smaller shows or projects, etc.!

So, you said earlier that this is your first Expo. I'm guessing you haven't done any type of large convention event like this before? You will not be able to everything that you want to. It's impossible. Being strategic is key, deciding what is most important and then attempting the one...

As others have said, the giveaways can happen pretty much at any panel but aren't guaranteed - one year they even gave away items at one of the Archive panels I was at, raffle style. That's how I ended with a Fantasia Maquette. My bags were soooo overfilled and I remember walking back to the...

I really want to know how they are getting plane into the Arena and want to watch. ;) (I mean, I know - remove the wings, but....)

For the Sorcerer RSP, they always explained it like this: Item #1 (say a Mickey Funko) has x number of pieces (320). Once they go through all the people that put it as their #1 item - if they still have some left over, they start with all the people that put it as their #2 item. It's maddening...

I'm seeing people on Twitter that got only giveaways - it really was random.

No times on my email. Ha, oh Disney. ;)

I'm curious what the differences are with the stars (entry points) on the map - some are solid gold and some are gold/red. No context was provided. Oh, too funny - they already altered that map. Ha! ;)

Some panel details are coming out....I don't remember this specific information coming out ahead of panels, but I could also be totally blanking on it. ;) Disney Branded Television - D23 Expo
