When D23 announced that they wouldn&#8217;t be holding an Expo event this year, I was pretty disappointed, but when I found out that they would be hosting a special &#8220;Destination D&#8221; tribute to Disneyland&#8217;s 55th anniversary, I was pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n<p>I had my vacation booked long before D23 announced that tickets would go on sale for the Destination D event on June 12th, and when I started to hear internet buzz that this event was limited in space and would probably sell out quickly, I panicked.  What if I planned my vacation around an event that I couldn&#8217;t even get tickets too?! Well, the big day came and my feverish race to hit the &#8220;click here&#8221; button and buy my tickets was nothing less than hysterical&#8230; especially considering it is now four days later and tickets are still available \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So, with my highly coveted (if only by myself) tickets victoriously mine, I couldn&#8217;t be more excited for September to come.  What&#8217;s more, I will be celebrating my birthday in Disneyland the day before Destination D and plan to rock the first-ever, official D23 Disneyland Scavenger Hunt the day after Destination D!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to the more intimate setting of this event, versus the crowded convention center of last year&#8217;s Expo.  And, while I&#8217;m sure Johnny Depp won&#8217;t be making any surprise appearances this year, spending 2-days with Mousketeers, Imagineers, and Disney Legends sounds like just the trick to ease my melancholy mood of late.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s to the countdown! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/distickers.com\/ticker\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/distickers.com\/ticker\/tickers\/lw1ecowt8kkil1up.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DIStickers.com Ticker\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, with airline tickets booked, hotel reservations made, and Disney tickets in hand, I finally feel like my fall trip to Disneyland is a reality.
