D23 2024 Day One | Opening Crowd, Imagineering, Avatar, TVA and more

Opening day of D23 2024. We arrived early Friday morning for the crowds, then took a tour of the floor featuring some of the more prominent pavilions. We'll see what's new at he Imagineering Pavillion, tour the Avatar showcase, TVA from Loki, and the Great Big Beautiful Car Show. Close our night at the Honda Center for the Disney Entertainment Showcase (no filming allowed) for our final thoughts.

I’m just glad I got to bring you to your very first D23, David. Proud of you old friend. FRESH BAKED!!

[maimoneattia]

There are many great Disney vloggers at D23 this weekend but your presentation of the showfloor feels particularly focused and intimate-- despite the massive crowds. And it's as if you're channeling both your inner child and a sophisticated, adult point of view. Also, I appreciate your preferences for practical type rides vs. similulation experiences.

Simple Plan singing Can You Feel The Love Tonight was actually amazing! They sound great.

[InternetJury]

Oh yeah... I miss that parking lot in front of Disneyland. So few of us can still say we were there. And the PeopleMover.... *sigh* That's the first thing I thought of when I saw your Tron shirt. Being back the People Mover! Yes, that is a hill I will die on.

I’ve definitely been in the original tram. My first trip to Disneyland was 1963 and just about every year after that. Thank you David for all the filming you do. I love your excitement as well. ❤❤

[Carnivorousplantyum]

That moving floor technology could be used in a queue where you could walk in place to make you feel like you're making progress while the lightning lane people jump in front of you. 😊

[lobo]

Yup, I remember riding the tram just after Disneyland opened and memorizing your drop off location.

[agentXphoenix]

Omg, the tram!!! I remember the car park and those trams. And the Monorail Cafe that was across from the monorail station. Amazing.

[TheHappiestHourOnEarthPodcast]

Looked like such a fun time!! 😄 hoping for some promising announcements at the experiences panel tonight!

[Graphite]

Wow! I remember those trams when I was a kid. 24:49
I loved riding on the very far ends of those seats, it felt like you could fall out at any minute. LOL

[hjdreams]

Excellent video David! Thanks for sharing 😊

[stacywelk]

I rode that tram many a day, my friend. One time we at park closing, 1am, . we were all alone on the tram touring the parking lot stops and the operator came over the speaker and said "where are you guys parked" so he didn;t have to stop at all the stops. We were all the way back at Winnie the Pooh LOL!

[lauri-jeancarlson]

I am excited for all new Tron movie comes out next year

[melissajensen]

Great coverage FB. Can’t wait for more. I rode those parking lot Trams back in the late 70’s.

[andizukifoo]

That's exactly what I thought about the "chair moving around on the tiles." Give me Mr. Toads any day! It's almost the reverse of how Walt and the early imagineers would create! Have a blast Fresh Baked!

[Bswedes]

I’ve been on that tram as a little kid. Me my parents and my little brother. Remember being on that tram and just super excited for what was about to come!

[GeorgeD]

The imagineering pavilion seems great, but the rest of the show floor seems like a lot of shops from what i saw in another video. I think it would be neat to go but like everything they do lately, it's a lot of expensive, complicated hoops to jump through. :/

David, thanks for taking us around!

[Kevinardo]

24:49 - I rode those trams for years. Always said, "first and last ride of my day."

[PamelaEMiller]

That tram brought back memories. We stayed at the motels accross the street and would take the tram to the last stop in the parking lot at the end of the day.

[healthygirl]

Thanks for sharing your D23 adventure with us! So awesome to watch, can’t wait for more videos!
