At least, that's not why I went. It was nice to have a few surprises announced, but I wasn't looking for a giant earth-shattering moment. I went because it was a coming together of Disney fans put on by Disney. I enjoyed the few seminars I was able to get into, and I loved the Parks and Resorts area on the show floor. It was a total hoot to walk around on Thursday and see Disney Legends just walking around. I was able to go up to Burny Mattinson and just have a conversation, for example.

These days .. I look forward to - What is new on the drawing boards.
