Fans will have those opportunities and many more at the inaugural D23 EXPO, where the entire world of Disney comes together under one roof, Sept. 10-13 at the Anaheim Convention Center. </font></font></p>

No matter how well-intentioned things start out, the current Disney culture can't do anything without turning it into a hard sell. I was starting to waver, but they've restored my lack of faith.

There was no "hard sell" at all. ABC TV is an important piece of the Disney puzzle, after all.
