D23 Expo - Day 2 Thoughts and Observations (8/20/11) Overview: The second day of the Expo was sold out according to the official announcements and there were long lines and a large crowd already when we showed up just past 8am. Today I attended the Inside the Walt Disney Studios presentation as well as the Sneak Peak at Buena Vista Street and the Imagineering's Guide to Creativity and Innovation. Three sessions seem to be the Magic Number as I was able to attend the same today as yesterday. I spent no time on the main floor, unless you count running through it while eating a hot dog on my way up to the afternoon sessions. As I waited in line and talked to those around me the reoccurring theme was frustration by the long waits, lack of time on the floor because of them, and questioning the venue size and lack of overflow rooms. Everyone did enjoy all the presentations they were able to get into but getting into them meant long waits and by the evening many people's patience was wearing thin. Nuts and Bolts: The D23 Expo ran from 8/19-21/2011. I spent the three full days at the Expo, plus a preview reception. Took just under 3,000 pictures, 50 video clips, 100 cell phone shots for Twitter, spend way too many hours in line to share the D23 experience (and save it for myself). I attended three of the arena presentations, five of the smaller sessions (others of our team, one of the retired geeks and the invisible geek, attended an additional arena presentation and three smaller sessions). Rundown and thoughts from the second day:
