If you’ve attended in the past, what changes would you like to see to make the event more guest friendly?
For $30 more, you can just go across the street and spend the day at the Real Disneyland!
Would love to see a dedicated Mothers Room/pumping and nursing room. Last Expo this was supposedly the nurses station, but I was turned away and was told this happened to multiple mothers who were left scrambling to find somewhere to pump. A private room with plugs and couches or chairs is all you need!
The main issue has always been crowd control. Somehow this is done well in the park, but horribly in the expo. Just pass out wristbands and let it be first come, first served. Way too many times I see 1-2 people holding spots for 10 and the people that have been waiting hours then don’t get in. People cut the lines and staff sees but doesn’t say anything.
Year after year this is held in Calif. leaving those of us on the east coast with nothing. And then they wonder why I refuse to join D23????? And pay big bucks for what exactly????I have asked…for years…for one to be held at the Javits Center or Madison Square Garden in NYC…..but I guess we don’t count????
Any news if there is going to be D23 Expo Japan?
