It’s not too soon to plan now for the next D23 Expo, to be held Aug. 9 – 11, 2013, at the Anaheim Convention Center, conveniently located across the street from Disneyland Resort. In fact, tickets are on sale now!

New for D23 Expo 2013 is a Fan Art Contest to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins.
