One of the most exciting things that happens before Expo is the announcement of vendors and merchandise. Today D23 released some awesome merchandise info!! As always the 2017 D23 Expo will feature "dated" merchandise with the "Mickey and the Moon" logo being used on advertisements. "Dated" merchandise options will include shirts, hats, cups and pins. In 2015 fans were excited to be able to buy Star Wars themed D23 items, once again there will be a special Droid Works Droid (R5-D23) and a special collectable Ewok, Brethupp, available for purchase. This year's Expo will also be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Disney Legends awards, so in honor of this celebration there will be a series of special merchandise released honoring the award.
Disney Parks will have new ride merchandise celebrating specific ride's milestone anniversaries like Pirates of the Caribbean (50 years); Space Mountain (40 Years); EPCOT (35 years), and Star Tours (30 years). There will also be new items from Alex and Ani and Crislu and Rebecca Hook and other parks exclusive vendors. Fans who have been waiting eagerly for the new Interchangeable Bow Collection that Steven Miller announced last year on the Disney Parks Blog will be excited to know that the ears and six specially designed bows will officially be debuting at the Expo in the Disney Dream Store.
Expo attendees will once again be able to meet some of their favorite authors and artists during special Dream store autograph session. At this time Disney has not released who will be attending those autograph sessions, but they did state that the schedules for these events will be posted in the yet to be released D23 Expo Mobile app and in the Dream Store daily.
And of course there will be special items from artists and vendors that always cause worry and stress thanks to resellers. This Expo guests can purchase items from a plethora of vendors. This year's list includes "Steve Adams, Dave Avanzino, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, David Bird, Britni Brault, Choice Collectibles, Joey Chou, John Coulter, Daniel’s Woodland, Disney Fine Art by Collectors Editions, Dooney & Bourke, Craig Fraser, Jeremy Fulton, HARVEYS, Brian Kesinger, Daniel Killen, Ink & Paint Artists, Jerrod Maruyama, Bridget McCarty, Miss Mindy, Mark Page, Mike Peraza, Patty Peraza, Larry Nikolai, Noah, Precious Moments, Linda Rick, Shag, Jim Shore, Javier Soto, George Scribner, Sketch Artists, Vinylmation™, Joe Yakovetic, Kenny Yamada, and more!" While D23 did not release images of these vendors items we are hoping the vendors will start sharing sneak peeks soon!
