The focus of D23 Expo (on some overall level) will be the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company coming up in 2023, and we'll probably hear about how Walt Disney World Resort will transition from The World's Most Magical Celebration (of the 50th anniversary of the Resort) when it ends next spring into whatever celebratory name the centennial will have. Then again, Disney may not be ready to announce any of that. Recapping the items of news we have been waiting for around here that may get announced at the D23 Expo: opening dates for TRON LightCycle Run, Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, Play! Pavilion, or additional phases of EPCOT's transformation. The Parks presentation was live-streamed by Disney during the 2019 Expo and, simultaneous with each of the big announcements, Disney Parks Blog released articles, concept art, and photos to accompany them-we expect pretty much the same for this expo. Disney makes its big Parks and Experiences announcements on the big stage there. We have a lot of things to share this week, but, as I have been writing for more than a month now, the bigger resort-wide news likely will be forthcoming during the sold-out, three-day, 2022 D23 Expo, September 9–11. Sorry to skip last week's Walt Disney World Resort Update, but with very little Florida news (and nothing particularly timely), and the Disneyland Resort releasing long-awaited details of its Magic Key program (the California resort's current iteration of annual passes, which are largely only available to current participants looking to renew), it just seemed appropriate. Each photo will open in a separate tab without a caption.
