D23 is celebrating the anniversaries of various Disney parks around the world, with the first heading out to California for the milestone 20th anniversary of Disney California Adventure!
What’s Happening:
- D23: The Official Disney Fan Club and Walt Disney Imagineering are excited to team up to celebrate some of the biggest Disney Parks anniversaries in brand-new ways for Disney fans around the globe!
- Each event will feature a grand gathering of Imagineers who will take us on a journey spanning everything from the park origins and history, to beautiful artwork and storytelling, to plenty of behind-the-scenes stories that will let us meet some of the fascinating people that bring our favorite places to life.
- “California, here we come,” because the first of these magical milestones D23 will be celebrating is the 20th Anniversary of Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort. Hosted by Academy Award nominated director Leslie Iwerks, the journey will begin with President of Walt Disney Imagineering, Bob Weis, going back to the very beginning of the park’s origins as Disneyland’s humble parking lot through opening day and the park’s earliest additions.
- Next, hear the inside story on the epic reimagining of the park, including exciting additions such as World of Color, Buena Vista Street, Cars Land, Pixar Pier, all the wonderful entertainment and festivals, and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!
- Looking to the future, D23 has assembled some of the creative team behind one of the most eagerly awaited land expansions to the park, Avengers Campus, to give us a peak behind the curtain at the highly anticipated land, and inside the exciting new attraction WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure.
