For years, I've followed the announcements from home, refreshing social media, watching livestreams, and wishing I could be there. Now somehow, I'M the one getting to experience it in person with the lovely
If you've never heard of D23, it's Disney's official fan convention where they reveal major news about Disney Parks, Disney Cruise Line, movies, shows, attractions, and future projects. Some of Disney's biggest announcements over the years were first unveiled at D23.
As a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations and a true Disney Adult, this is one of the most exciting places I could possibly be. Not only will I get to experience the event firsthand, but I'll also be among the first to hear about upcoming Disney news that could shape future vacations.
Will I be normal about it?
Absolutely not.

This has been a bucket list item since its inception in 2009, and I genuinely can't believe it's finally happening.
✨ What Disney announcement are you hoping to hear from D23 this year?
