D23 Expo Panels for Saturday, August 24
The Walt Disney Studios will present a behind-the-scenes look at its blockbuster collection of upcoming films on Saturday, August 24, at 10 a.m. Fans will see what’s on the drawing board for the acclaimed filmmakers at Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios and get a peek at the exciting slate of live-action projects, from Disney to Marvel Studios to Star Wars. As always, attendees will be treated to exclusive footage, special guest appearances, and more!
Guys- the D23 Live Action panels are my absolute favorite. We haven’t heard a lot about the next slate of plans for Star Wars or Marvel, so … I’m going in prepared to be WOWed!

D23 Expo Panels for Sunday, August 25
On Sunday, August 25, at 10:30 a.m., step into the magical world of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products with Chairman Bob Chapek to find out what’s new and what’s next for resorts around the globe, including more about the transformational plans for Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
And again, I’m hoping for some more Marvel news here. There’s so much Marvel in the Disney Parks right now, but I. Want. More.
