D23 Expo Recap (Part 1)

Okay, so it’s been real quiet around here the past few days because I was at the D23 Expo from Thursday through Sunday. I was tweeting the whole time, and you can still find those comments on my twitter (@anitrain).

Among other things, I had the honor of meeting Debby Ryan! I even got to tell  her about my Debby fansite DebbyRyan.net

On Saturday, I got to meet the fabulous Tiffany Thornton and the lovely Chelsea Staub. I told Tiff about my fansite TiffanyThornton.us and my SWAC fansite Sonny-With-A-Chance.com. She said the was gonna check them out! :)

I met a lot of other cool people, like Nicole Anderson, Doug Brochu, and Cody Linley. I didn’t have websites just for them, so I told them about DC Fans and Save Disney Shows.

And I didn’t get to meet Selena Gomez, but I did get to see her in person at the Wizards panel in the arena!

Besides all the Disney Channel stuff, I saw presentations and sneak peaks of Disney’s upcoming live action and film projects, new developments for the theme parks (which included Darth Vader demanding that the new Star Tours attraction open no later than 2011. And he brought storm troopers).

I even met and got the autograph of Disney Legend Mary Costa, the voice of princess Aurora!

It was really an unbelievable experience. I’ve uploaded photos and videos from the event to my new Disney events website SoCal Disney And I’ll post more of the Disney Channel stuff here over the next couple days.

    Hey, How many 23-year-olds were in line to meet Debby? Just wondering.

  2. Webmaster Greg says:

    There where very few kids there on Thursday. I’d say most of the people getting autographs where in the 16 – 24 range.

    What was the Expo? A four day disney convention this past September. There’s a lot of info on my Expo website: http://d23expo.g2i.us/ :)

    I wonder if those celebs end up feeling harassed when they see dcfans.tv

  6. Webmaster Greg says:

    If they didn’t feel harassed when I met them, I doubt they’d care about any of the things that get said here. LOL

  7. Richard says:

    So why didn’t you take a picture with Chelsea and Tiffany? Or even Nicole.

  8. Webmaster Greg says:

    I did get pictures with Nicole, Chelsea, and Tiffany. I just didn’t post them her because this site isn’t about me, and I thought the one with Debby was good enough to show I was actually there.

    If you wanna see all my pictures from the Expo, they’re at http://d23expo.g2i.us/

  9. Richard says:

    Oh okay. For a moment there I was wondering if that pic of you with Debby was photo shopped. (I’m kidding)
    There must’ve been a line to get those photos with them. Those were alot of people.

  10. Webmaster Greg says:

    There where very few kids at the expo on Thursday. It was easy to talk with Debby & Nicole. There was a much longer line for Chelsea and Tiffany on Saturday, but still not that hard.
