Day 5 â
Today was a pretty chill day for the last day of D23. This morning I woke up and ordered breakfast from a local place - it was delicious and hey breakfast in bed! I then went over to the Honda center for the last time for the Disney Legends showcase.
This years class of legends was truly iconic and featured incredible people including Lin Manuel Miranda, Alan Tudyk, THE JONAS BROTHERS, Susan Egan, Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Bob Iger, and so many more! I may have teared up a few times during this presentation!
This afternoon, I went back to the convention center to do a few very important things. The first, was to write a Disneyland memory on a card which is going to be planted in the new Coco ride at Disneyâs California Adventure. The second, was to finish out 3 days of volunteering at the Volunteer-Ears booth. Each day you would go and make care packages for different organizations and once done you get a free pin just for helping out. The three organizations were - Make a Wish, Blue Star Families, and the Starlight foundation. This was absolutely one of my favorite of the booths at d23 not just for the free Disney pins! You could tell just how grateful the staff working the booth were that anyone would be willing to break away from all the programming to lend a hand.
And then there was one final thing I just had to do today but wasnât sure I was even going to get in! If you didnât know, the Jonas brothers have a podcast called Hey Jonas and today in honor of their new legendary status they decided to do a live taping of their podcast! Now to get into any of the panels at d23 (not including the Honda center) you had to enter into an RSP or random selection process. I entered but was not selected so I had to go standby for this. We werenât sure any of us standby people were getting in and waited around an hour before we finally got let in! And so I got to end my D23 weekend with my favorite band, laughing and cheering!
So with that my time at D23 has come to an end. It was such an incredible weekend and I canât wait to share more with you over the next few weeks. For now Iâm tired and need to somehow pack all my new merch and free swag!
