kinda funny that they describe Hercules as a "fan-favorite" film. In comic book speak that usually means characters or comics that audiences like more than the company who owns them does. :P

Thanks blackcauldron85 for assembling this. Very helpful. I was having a hard time piecing the schedule together from the information D23 has put out online and you did a fantastic job! I will be there all 3 days. I'm not sure how many panels I will get to but I will recap as much as I can.

I definitely plan to go to the Zorro Panel and the WDAS and Pixar animation panel. I'm torn between the Marceline panel and the Olaf's Frozen Adventure panel. I don't think I can hit both.

I may also try to get to the princess panel and definitely want to get to the Kiss Goodnight panel. On Sunday, probably only the Disney maps panel.

I want to leave some time for the non-panel stuff because the last time I went to D23, I didn't really get to see any of that.

Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, Sarah Silverman, all of the voices of the Disney princesses that still are alive (except Idina Mendel) Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel Jackson and Benjamin Bratt all were at the panel.

Not sure what else I can say that the media tweets didn't report.

No mention whatsoever of Gigantic though.
