D23 Destination D: Attraction Rewind presented by H2O Plus will take place November 22 and 23 at Walt Disney World Resort. D23 will bring the best of Disney together to celebrate favorites such as Adventure Thru Inner Space, If You Had Wings, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with rarely seen concept art and images along with some vintage video clips. There will also be a full day of presentations about the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair.

The New York World’s Fair was where It’s a Small World and the Carousel of Progress made their debut.


Presenters and panelists include:

  • Marty Sklar
  • Bob Gurr
  • Alice Davis
  • Walt Disney Archives Director Becky Cline
  • Disney and World’s Fair historians Bill Cotter, Stacia Martin, and Michael Kelley.

During the event weekend, guests will be able to explore an exhibit designed by the Walt Disney Archives in honor of the event.

The weekend will end with an exciting evening event—Pleasure Island: Rewind. This celebration of the Downtown Disney nightlife district will include areas dedicated to the Adventurers Club, Comedy Warehouse, Mannequins, and 8 Trax. And of course there will be a “New Year’s Eve” celebration to cap the night.

Plus, for the first time, Mickey’s of Glendale, the famed Walt Disney Imagineering store, will set up a pop-up shop at the event for attendees, featuring a selection of exclusive Imagineering merchandise as well as limited-edition pins, T-shirts, and collectibles themed to the event. The shop will also carry a special line from H2O Plus, whose products are featured at Disney Resort Hotels.

  1. I’m hoping I can have the funds to attend this incredible event! Being a Disney-phile, particularly WDW, this is right up my alley. I’m a free D23 member, but hoping to go to a higher level, if things go my way.

  2. Who can I contact re: ticket purchase in regards to if I get a ticket for my husband and for me, do we both need to be Gold or Silver members or can one membership purchase 2 tickets? Thanks.

  3. Any idea cost of “Top of the World Tickets?” If not, who could I contact? Tks. for bringing this to my attention!
