Disney Authors Head to D23 Expo in Anaheim

Steven Barrett and Lou Mongello, prominent authors of books about Disney parks in both Orlando and Anaheim, are heading West to the first ever get together for the membership of D23, the “official community for Disney fans.”

The D23 Expo (the name is a reference to the year Disney was founded) runs from September 10 through 13 and will feature a dizzying array of events along with opportunities for Disney buffs to meet each other and rub shoulders with prominent members of the community.

Barrett and Mongello will both have booths at the Collectors’ Forum, a marketplace for Disney memorabilia and assorted ephemera. The Forum is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily during the Expo for D23 members; members of the general public will not be admitted until 9:00 a.m.

Mongello will be holding forth from Booth C-120, greeting fans and offering his books for sale.

Mongello has built his following through his Walt Disney World Trivia Books, Vol 1 and Vol 2. In addition, he maintains a blistering pace producing video and podcasts for his site WDWRadio.com.

Lou also hopes to be able to cover the event on both audio and video, interviewing participants and, if Internet capability is available, offering a chance to chat with viewers who were unable to make it to Anaheim.

Steven Barrett, an emergency room physician in his Orlando home town, is the author of Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide To Walt Disney World’s Best Kept Secrets, just released in a fourth edition, and Disneyland’s Hidden Mickeys, just out in a second edition.

Barrett will be greeting fans and autographing copies of his Disneyland book, which is for sale in the parks and resort hotels. He hopes to meet some of the many people who helped him uncover new hidden Mickeys in Disneyland and who are acknowledged in the new edition.

Barrett’s booth number has not yet been released.
