The Walt Disney Archives Stage at the D23 Expo is a must-do for me. It is the first schedule I check when the lineup is announced, an amazing assortment of Disney history, and inside information from the experts. With the dates for the D23 Expo 2019 recently announced (August 23-25) and some recent changes at your local Disney Store, I remembered The Walt Disney Company’s Celebrated Product Legacy and the Exciting Future Ahead session from 2017.

Hosted by Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media, the session was the first of the day on Friday, the same time as the Disney Legends Awards Ceremony; but knowing that the legends ceremony would be all over YouTube, I decided to cover the product showcase.

The description read, “Get an inside look at the making of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel products and collectibles and get a first look at exciting new products before they hit the shelves!” The description did not include the wonderful giveaway bag, preview of the new Disney Store, parade of experts, and detailed product history in addition to what’s next. Granted, you may have already seen these products in your local Disney Store and on shelves this past Christmas – but the context, history, and Disney Store preview are a wonderful historic record of the D23 Conference 2017.
