BURBANK, Calif. – July 26, 2012 –
On Thursday, Aug. 9, at 10 a.m. PT, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club
will begin selling tickets for the next D23 Expo, which will open one
year later and run from Aug. 9-11, 2013, at the Anaheim Convention
Center. The largest Disney fan event in the world, the D23 Expo
celebrates the entire world of Disney entertainment and brings together
all parts of The Walt Disney Company under one roof, including The Walt
Disney Studios; Walt Disney Parks and Resorts; Disney Consumer Products;
Media Networks (including ABC, ABC Family, Disney Channel, and Radio
Disney) and Disney Interactive. D23 Expo 2013 marks the third Expo held
in Anaheim, following Expos in 2009 and 2011.
More
than 40,000 Disney fans from around the world gathered at the Anaheim
Convention Center in 2011 for the second D23 Expo: The Ultimate Disney
Fan Event. In anticipation of even bigger attendance, D23 Expo 2013 will
feature an overflow theater for the D23 Arena, which will accommodate
more than 2,000 guests for live streaming of the popular Arena
presentations; nearly double the size of presentation venue Stage 23
(formerly 1,000 seats); and an expanded show floor, to include Halls A,
B, C and D, as well as a larger Collectors' Forum to provide even more
magical experiences for guests.
As
in previous Expos, D23 Expo 2013 will showcase all of the latest stars
in the Disney universe. In 2011, celebrity appearances included Robert
Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer
Garner, Dick Van Dyke, Willem Dafoe, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Jason
Segel, Marty Sklar, Alice Davis, Michael Giacchino, Tony Baxter, Tom
Bergeron, Regis Philbin, Jodi Benson, Lea Salonga, Linda Larkin, Paige
O'Hara, Anika Noni Rose, David Arquette, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer,
Kelly MacDonald, Kevin McKidd, Taylor Kitsch, Wilmer Valderrama,
Melissa Joan Hart, Sean Astin, Chelsea Kane, and Kyle Massey, along with
Disney executives and creative talent. They came together to bring
special presentations, announcements, and performances to Disney fans
throughout the three-day extravaganza.
D23
Expo 2013 will also feature the Disney Legends Awards-a stirring
biennial event that pays tribute to the talented men and women who have
made indelible contributions to the Disney legacy; an all-new Fan Art
Contest themed to the upcoming 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins; the 12,000 square-foot Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives
exhibit featuring costumes, props, and set pieces from Disney's rich
history; plus amazing live events, celebrity appearances, panels and

past, present, and future of Disney.
