Disney magic has officially landed in Florida, and we're giving you an inside look!
Destination D23 — the ultimate fan event from D23, the official Disney fan club — is taking over with exclusive merch, surprise guests and panels celebrating Disney's past, present and future.
Over two jam-packed days, fans rub elbows with Disney Legends, Imagineers, cast members, filmmakers, historians and more from every corner of the Disney universe.
Get a sneak peek at upcoming projects from The Walt Disney Studios and explore the global impact of Disney through rare finds and stories from the Walt Disney Archives.
One excited attendee, Amy Kawa, couldn't get enough of the themed merch.
"I love the 'Muppets' studio store," she told On The Red Carpet.
"I bought a T-shirt with all the different Muppets for the 70th anniversary, so that was really cool!"
Surprise appearances are also part of the fun at events like this. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of "A Goofy Movie," James Marsden, the voice of Max Goof, posed for photos with fans.
Check out our interview with Marsden and the voice of Goofy, Bill Farmer, at the special anniversary fan screening at Walt Disney World.
