How big is D23 Expo 2019? Here are some numbers for perspective
While panels and shopping for the masses at D23 Expo 2019 begin on Friday at the Anaheim Convention Center, there will be people lining up and plenty of people heading to Will Call to get their tickets for this year’s expo starting today.
This is, after all, the largest gathering of Disney fans – coming from all 50 states and 47 countries. This event places all of what Disney owns under one roof for three days to showcase what is coming. This time it includes Disney films, Disney Parks and Experiences, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, National Geographic and The Simpsons just name a few.
This is the place Disney helps maps out the future of the parks, movies and television.
This event is so big that it takes up over 1 million square feet of the Anaheim Convention Center, including the exhibit halls, stage venues, back of house operations, and, of course, queue space.
