And on National Geographic, Genius: Aretha captivated viewers with untold stories of one of the music industry’s biggest innovators. Marvel Studios’ slate of Disney+ programming–including WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If…?, and Hawkeye-kept fans on the edge of their couches week-to-week, awaiting the next twist and turn in the MCU… Speaking of the streaming service: In a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Bad Batch also debuted, and a legendary bounty hunter made his long-awaited homecoming in the new series The Book of Boba Fett. Throughout 2021, television shows comforted audiences with the return of old favorites and the introduction of new friends across Disney+, ABC, Disney Channel, Freeform, National Geographic, and Disney Junior. If that list seems impressive (and it really is), just wait until you see what’s coming next year! Some of our favorites here at D23 include (in chronological order): Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself, Flora & Ulysses, Nomadland (winner of three Oscars ®), Boss Level, Raya and the Last Dragon, Cruella, Plan B, Luca, False Positive, Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised), Black Widow, Jungle Cruise, Playing with Sharks, Stuntman, Free Guy, The Night House, Vacation Friends, Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Fauci, The Rescue, The Last Duel, Becoming Cousteau, Ron’s Gone Wrong, The French Dispatch, Antlers, Home Sweet Home Alone, Eternals, The First Wave, Encanto, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Torn, West Side Story, Mother/Android, Nightmare Alley, and The King’s Man. After all, nearly 40 titles were released over the past 12 months. When we say there was something for everyone to enjoy, that’s no exaggeration. Whether fantastic or real (or somewhere in between), the stories told by 20th Century Studios, Hulu, Marvel Studios, National Geographic Documentary Films, Pixar Animation Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures over the past year captivated audiences-introducing us to new characters and reacquainting us with old ones. No other company makes movie magic quite like Disney. But I love Disneyland too much to skip a year for an expo that's intensely packed and exhausting.The past year was full of magical moments: Disneyland reopened, Super Heroes soared across the big screen, and the D23 team even flew all the way to Florida to throw the ultimate celebration for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort! As we ring in 2022, we’re taking a look back at our favorite memories, moments, and more from 2021. I camped out, got into all the big panels I wanted to see, and went all in. I absolutely loved the experience and I am so glad that I did it. If I had to give up Disneyland for a year to go, I don't think I would. If you go in thinking you'll arrive at 10AM and walk right in to whatever you want, don't waste your time. Or do you just want to explore? If you go in with realistic expectations, it's amazing. Do you expect to get a bunch of high end merchandise? There's going to be a 90 minute line.at least once. Do you want to see smaller panels? Those are easier to get into. Do you want to see big name panels like animation or live action? Then you can expect to spend your nights on the basement floor of the convention center in line. Unless you camp out the night before, you will wait in line for anywhere from 1-2 hours just to get in the doors. The thing is though, you have to go in with realistic expectation. My first reaction was to say, yes, absolutely, D23 is worth it. If these interest you, and you are willing to sacrifice sleep and be willing to wait in lines for hours and hours, the Expo is worth it. Other folks like the collectibles, the autograph signings by Disney personalities, the Disney history (e.g., archives), the Disney television related items, the costumes, the contests and probably a dozen other things. Those require you to arrive at like 3AM to get in line if you want to be one of the 8000 allowed in. For me, I am most excited by the sessions on live action and animated movies, as well as the "parks and resorts" plans. There is frankly an incredibly wide range of things that interest D23 Expo participants. But it depends on the person and what they are interested in. That arrangement is worth it for many Disney fans. I will be coming to DLR for a 2-3 day trip the week before the Expo. OP, why would you have to give up a DLR trip for the D23 Expo? Many folks, like me, who do not live in the area, do both.
