Author and Disney expert Aaron Wallace has long attended D23 Expo, now called D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and recently attended the amazing Anaheim experience. Aaron, a longtime guest and friend of the podcast, is here to join host Brett Nachman to dish on everything he experienced and what we as Disney aficionados can be excited about over the coming years. Among the talking points include examining the logistics and execution of D23's ticketing and reservation system, the music-themed presentations and panels on topics like Mary Poppins and The Sherman Brothers, the star-studded and performance-heavy Honda Center events, and much more. Needless to say, Aaron and Brett have some hot takes on some of the theme parks announcements that surfaced and, at least for Brett, strong opinions on recent Disney Legends inductees. Aaron also shares some details about the recent Witches Run Amok: The Oral History of Disney's Hocus Pocus book, for which he contributed his knowledge and perspectives within Shannon Carlin's new release.
