D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is now underway! With panels, pavilions, and more, there is no shortage of experiences to be had for all kinds of Disney fans! One of the experiences is the Disney Experiences pavilions. This pavilion is dedicated to sharing the work and magic that comes from Walt Disney Imagineering.
On Thursday, August 8, 2024, Daps Magic was invited to a media preview of D23: The Official Disney Fan Event. This preview included a look at multiple offerings for the weekend. One of the pavilions that was shown was the Disney Experiences pavilion. This included a look at the holofloor. Inventor and Imagineer Lanny Smoot was on hand to share about this incredible technology. The demonstration was very interesting and both the passion and knowledge of the imagineers shown through.
Another stop in the pavilion was on the main stage. There, a demonstration of the BDX droids was given. This included how they were built, programmed, and some other details about how they come to life. Two droids joined the Imagineers to help share this story.
There were several other areas found in the pavilion as well. This showed different effects, costumes, models, and more. In one portion of the pavilion, Imagineers were also at work on a sculpture. All of this can be seen in the video tour below.
On Sunday, this pavilion will be expanded. This comes after whatever new announcements are made by Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro and his team during their showcase on Saturday night. After this, there will be more to be seen!
