This year D23: The Official Disney Fan Club is celebrating its 10th anniversary and this past weekend they held a big hulabaloo at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA to commemorate the occasion!
D23’s 10-Year FAN-niversary Celebration brought together hundreds of fans plus special guests (Disney Legends and other luminaries), beloved Disney characters, and items from the Walt Disney Archives! The menu for the event included Walt’s favorites and yes his famous chili, too! All party guests were also treated to an event-exclusive gift (commemorative Mickey ears) to pair with their exclusive event credential.
Here’s a look at just some of the goings on, courtesy of Disney…
