Today was day two of the D23 Expo. We were more knowledgeable, more experienced, and a little more tired. Here is what we saw:
1. Prince Eric and Ariel at the Disney Store opening.
2. The Treasures of the Disney Archives exhibit.
3. A very happy, Muppet-loving, Disney Pin collector.
4. Monsters.
5. And more Monsters.
6. R5.
7. Vincent Martella, the voice of Phineas, filming a spot in the Disney Interactive booth.
8. Eight 2013 Disney Legends being honored.
9. The Disney Animated panel. Attendees got to see some examples of the app’s key features, such as rare maquettes from Disney’s archives that you can rotate and examine up close.
10. The live action panel featuring—freak out—Angelina Jolie. (You should read the excellent Disney Insider recap for details.)
11. Ty Burrell in a little, tiny, car.
12. Richard Sherman and Alan Menken performed together. Also, QOTD:
Moderator: Mary Poppins was 50 years ago. What was happening then?
Richard: I looked like Jason Schwartzman.
13. Lots of fans wearing these Maleficent horns.
14. The Once Upon a Time Panel. Best scoop: They would love to see Tiana and Rapunzel on the show, but the question is when.
15. Joey Fatone.
16. Little Mermaid manicures, by Sephora.
17. A plant that plays music when you touch its leaves.
18. This Alice in Wonderland masterpiece being auctioned off.
19. This incredible Marvel Comics dress.
20. Fans learning how to draw their favorite Muppet.
21. Jasmine and Ariel.
22. Frozen panel. Disney treated attendees to some incredible reveals, including screen tests for all of the main characters, a dramatic moment in which Elsa struggled with her icy powers, and multiple musical numbers.
23. Baby Donald.
