2011 D23 Expo Day Three

Sorry for the delay in getting this post up. I know I said Monday, but I’ve been having computer problems and couldn’t get anything new posted.

Sunday, the third and final day of the 2011 D23 Expo was just as amazing as the first two days. How many people can say they’ve seen Wilmer Valderrama hangin’ out with Handy Manny? LOL

After that photo op, we got in line for the Pair of Kings signing.

I was there to see Kelsey Chow again (obviously). I had gotten her autograph at the filming, but it’s faint ’cause her pin was dying. So when I saw her I was like “I hope your pen works this time” and she was like “Huh- OH! I remember you! =D” And then the Disney employee pushed me along for holding up the line. Of course, SHE was talking TO ME so how was that my fault? LOL

I was also quite shocked to see that Mitchel Musso himself showed up! He wasn’t scheduled to attend and I had never met him before.

And have a look at this guy with the “I <3 Kelsey Chow” shirt! Lucky bastard… why didn’t I think of that? LOL I actually ended up right next to him in the “Shake it Up” line. He’s a nice kid.

EDIT/NOTE: I’ve replaced the original picture below with his “professional” posed photo from the expo. If you want to see my original pic click here. There’s also a video. Again, why wasn’t I this smart? LOLz

Speaking of the Shake it Up line, what a mess. They didn’t know where to put everyone and it was a pretty big mess overall. The line was closed by 2pm… if not sooner.

Now as frequent readers will remember, I’ve met Bella and Zendaya before. It was Caroline Sunshine that I really wanted to meet.

And yeah, meet her I did. 🙂 I even had a few moments to tell her about my fansite and how excited I was to finally meet her.

I didn’t really have anything to say to Zendaya… but I did get a solo autograph of her. =]

As for Bella, I didn’t have anything rehearsed so I simply told her that I couldn’t even begin to tell her how amazing she is.

She was like “Aww, thank you sir” … as if I needed to be reminded how she’s WAY too young for me. LOL. Here’s the autograph.

But that’s not all. Once we finished with the cast we went down in front of the stage to take a few more pics. I got some great shots of Bella and Zendaya.

And by absolute sure luck, I ended up standing against the side of the stage when they finished the signing and the cast came to the front to sign a few more autographs for the crowd! Bella was right in front of me, look!

My friend Anika who was right next to me even got a pic with Zendaya!

I was hoping Caroline would come over to our side, but she didn’t make it beyond mid stage before the CMs escorted her off the stage.

She was the last to leave, but we still had one more surprise in store before we left. About 30 minutes after the event wrapped up, I spotted Roshan Fegan and Anika got a great picture with him too.

And that my friends, was the last day of the 2011 D23 expo. It was somethin’ else, I’ll tell you that. Hope to see you all there in 2013. 🙂

  1. Greg,

    Bella’s comment cracked me up but it’s the truth. There’s a member of the Debby forum who has a crush on Bella and he is also way too old for her. The other week I asked him if you had a date with Bella where would you take her? Build-A-Bear Workshop? Chuck E. Cheese? I know Bella likes to dress and act beyond her 13 years but at the end of the day she’s still just a little girl.

    I’d consider going with you next year but ONLY if my girl Debby is scheduled to attend. Can you pick me up from LAX? 😛

    I’m making note of that T-shirt idea. I’ll do ANYTHING to get Debby’s attention. 😀

  2. Ehh. the thought of meeting anyone from Shake It Up or Pair of Kings doesn’t exactly make me leap for joy.

  3. I agree with neoz. You’re lucky to see all of these stars. Up here in Toronto, they rarely come by.

  4. I was most excited to see Kelsey again. Getting to finally meet Caroline was awesome. And I love Bella… just not like that.

    dcfan, which Sierra, Sierra McCormick? I saw her on Saturday.

    And Brenda was there on Friday. I just missed her. 🙁

  5. Hey! That’s me! I randomly found this while googling Kelsey Chow haha. Thank you for the compliment. Not so much the bastard part… haha And thanks to you, my picture with her is the first picture that pops up when I type “Kelsey Chow and Fan” on Google images.

  6. It was “lucky bastard” and it was a joke. LOL Hey, it’s better than what I said in line. 😉

    And… you’re welcome. If you have a better quality pic you’d like to share I’d be happy to switch it out for you.

  7. Well, I certainly didn’t expect to actually meet you, so when I saw what was going down, I just had to get a pic for the blog. 😉

    And how did you know you could do that whole video while signing autographs thing? I sooooo would have been doing that too if I had known it was okay. I’ve gotten yelled at at other signings for trying that so I didn’t even bother trying.

    But yeah, that’s fine. You can have Kelsey. Selena is mine. =]

    BTW, do you have twitter? I meant to ask before but forgot. xD

  8. hahaha nice. I see in your pic there’s someone else taking a picture too, I wonder if I can find any more pictures of this lol.
    Oh, this was pretty much my first meet n greet, so I tried it to see if the security would get mad at me, and none of them really did. Only once did one of them say, “No pictures,” but then I asked if video was okay, and the lady said yes.
    And yes, I have twitter, @JazznGuzzn, but a lot of my tweets are very random haha.
    And I believe I found you (@dcfanstv yes?) so I will now follow haha.
