				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><b>CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF <i>MARY POPPINS</i>, THE ABC HIT <i>ONCE UPON A TIME</i> AND DISNEY’S ENDURING CONNECTION TO THE LAND OF OZ</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><b>The spectacular exhibit will feature imagery, costumes, props, set pieces and more, many displayed publicly for the first time by the Walt Disney Archives</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8688" style="margin: 10px;" alt="disney-d23-expo-2011" src="http://www.wdwradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/disney-d23-expo-2011-300x106.jpg" width="300" height="106" />BURBANK, Calif. – May 9, 2013 – D23: The Official Disney Fan Club and the Walt Disney Archives are proud to announce the return of the “Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives” exhibit to the D23 Expo. During the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center, August 9 – 11, 2013, this all-new exhibit curated specifically for the D23 Expo 2013 will feature: the 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins, ABC’s hit television series Once Upon A Time, and a look at the longstanding connection between Disney and L. Frank Baum’s beloved series of books about the land of Oz.</p>
<p>“Treasures” will showcase a selection of crown jewels from the Walt Disney Archives Collection, many of which will be displayed publicly for the first time by the Archives. As the 50th anniversary of Mary Poppins approaches, the Archives will be presenting a wide array of pieces from the Academy Award®-winning 1964 film including concept art and matte paintings, Mary and Bert’s carousel horses, the snow globe from the “Feed the Birds” sequence, costumes worn by many of the central characters and the recently acquired carpet bag, which Mary carries with her when she arrives at the Banks’ household. Also part of the exhibit will be the Fan Art Gallery, themed to Mary Poppins. D23 Members were invited to submit their work as part of the D23 Expo Fan Art Contest, and the winners’ colorful creations will be displayed in this year’s gallery.</p>
<p>On the heels of the global success of Oz The Great and Powerful, the Archives is proud to assemble artifacts illustrating Disney’s long association with L. Frank Baum’s Oz books. Highlights include a costume from 1957’s “Rainbow Road to Oz”—a segment from The Fourth Anniversary Show, which celebrated Walt’s four years on television, starring many of the Mickey Mouse Club’s Mouseketeers—as well as concept art from unrealized attractions and Disney Studio productions. Also featured are props and costume pieces from 1985’s Return to Oz including the Tik-Tok puppet, “Powder of Life” tin, and Dorothy’s costume and slippers. And, of course, there will be an assortment of costumes from this year’s Oz The Great and Powerful.</p>
<p>Now finishing its second hit season, Once Upon A Time has become a huge hit among Disney fans for its ability to remain true to many of Disney’s classic stories while expanding their worlds with a modern twist. The Archives is honored to be presenting a selection of elegantly designed costumes from the show.</p>
<p>The D23 Expo<i> </i>2013 will also feature the <b>Disney Legends Awards</b>—a tradition that pays tribute to the talented men and women who have made indelible contributions to the Disney legacy; the return of the <b>D23 Expo Dream Store,</b> featuring a wide selection of unique merchandise; an expanded <b>Collectors Forum<i>,</i> </b>where Disney fans can buy, sell and trade Disney collectibles, memorabilia and merchandise—and this year’s Forum will also include the worlds of Marvel and <i>Star Wars</i>—plus amazing live events, special celebrity appearances, panels and presentations and unique experiences from every corner of Disney, from upcoming feature film and television sneak peeks to what&#8217;s new and what&#8217;s next from our theme parks around the world.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">This weekend,<strong> D23: The Official Disney Fan Club</strong> is celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime diamond anniversary of one of the most universally beloved and singularly unique film genres in the world—at <strong><em>DESTINATION D: 75 YEARS OF DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURES,</em></strong> Aug. 11 and 12 at the Disneyland<sup>®</sup> Resort<strong><em>.</em></strong></p>
<p>The two-day event will offer a panorama of some of the most celebrated films and characters ever brought to life on screen and provide attendees with an unforgettable Disney experience.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-19165 alignright" style="margin: 3px;" title="Destination-D-D23-Animation" src="http://www.wdwradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Destination-D-D23-Animation.png" alt="" width="310" height="273" />From Walt Disney’s groundbreaking <em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</em> to the upcoming <em>Wreck-It Ralph</em>, guests will go on a “behind-the-magic” journey filled with classic cinematic moments of heart-tugging emotion, laughter, and song that have captivated generations the world over. Renowned historians, authors, and animators of today will host this trip through the artistry and imagination of Disney animated features, each day ending with an unforgettable nighttime concert featuring two incomparable Disney Legends.</p>
<p>I had an opportunity to sit down and chat with <strong>D23&#8242;s Jeffrey Epstein</strong> about the event, the future of D23 and much more.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show &#8211; Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #189 for the week of September 26, 2010.</p>
<p>I just returned from Destination D, the D23 event celebrating the 55th anniversary of Disneyland. This two day event took guests on a journey through the design, creation, debut and history of the world&#8217;s first Disney theme park through presentations, panels, screenings, speakers, Disney Legends, a scavenger hunt and even a concert of memorable songs from the Disneyland Resort. On this weekâ€™s roundtable, weâ€™ll recap the events, discussing our expectations, surprises, reviews and memories. Weâ€™ll then look towards what is coming next for D23 in Walt Disney World and at next yearâ€™s Expo.</p>
<p>Iâ€™ll have a few announcements and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week&#8217;s episode of the WDW Radio Show.</p>
<p>Thanks for listening! Be sure to tune in next week!</p>
