Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to Offer a Glimpse 'Behind the Magic' at Disney's D23 EXPO, Sept. 10-13:

"BURBANK, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- What will Disney's theme parks and resorts look like in the future? Fans will learn the answer to that question and many more as they take a 'behind-the-magic' tour of their favorite Disney destinations at the inaugural D23 EXPO, where the entire world of Disney will come together under one roof at the Anaheim Convention Center in California from Sept. 10-13.

"Through a series of stunning displays and not-to-be-missed presentations, D23 EXPO attendees will explore the rich legacy and future of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts - a story that began in 1955 with Disneyland and has since grown to include 11 theme parks at five vacation destinations around the globe, as well as new immersive vacation experiences including Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and Disney Vacation Club. On Saturday, Sept. 12, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo will share some behind-the-magic details as he pulls back the curtain on several new projects - including the 12-acre Cars Land that's set to open at Disney's California Adventure in 2012."
