As a fan of Once Upon a Time on the ABC network, I was excited to read this news about their presence at the D23 Expo. Attendees will learn more about the new series Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, and can board Captain Hook’s Jolly Roger pirate ship as well as visit the Evil Queen’s vault! See all the details below:
Be among the first to watch ABC’s most anticipated new fall series and animated specials and have a chance to learn the secrets behind how they were made. Fans will have those opportunities at the D23 Expo: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where all the worlds of Disney come together, August 9 – 11, at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Executive Producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz will be featured at a panel titled “ABC’s Once Upon A Time: Behind The Fairytale” on Saturday, August 10 at 1:00 p.m. at Stage 23. Eddy and Adam will talk about exciting developments for season three of their hit series Once Upon A Time as well as their new fall series, Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, which takes place in the Victorian England of Alice and the strange new land that exists on the other side of the rabbit hole. The Q&A with the executive producers will be moderated by D23’s Jeffrey Epstein.
Guests on the D23 Expo show floor are invited to come aboard the Jolly Roger for a swashbuckling good time with some of your favorite fairytale characters from ABC’s hit series Once Upon A Time. Explore the famous pirate ship and feast your eyes on original props from the set. You will also find Snow White, Prince Charming, the Evil Queen, Captain Hook, and Emma Swan (and Emma’s red leather jacket). Every pirate who boards the ship gets to visit the Evil Queen’s vault. And a surprise awaits when you unlock a box from Regina’s wall of hearts. No pirate will leave empty handed! Don’t let this exciting adventure sail by without you!
In addition, as previously announced, guests will be able to get an up-close-and-personal look at some of the elaborate costumes from Once Upon A Time inside the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit located on the second floor of the Convention Center.

I so wish I were going to the D23 Expo. I’m a D23 charter member, and each time the expo comes around I think maybe this time. But August never seems to be a time that’s good to get away from work, etc and I can’t see going just me. Not sure if the kids would enjoy it yet. So, maybe next time? Two more years (if past Disney decisions indicate future), the kids will be two more years older. Maybe they’d be interested in the expo too.
Enjoy and keep us posted on the goings on!
(btw, I so love OUAT. Happy to see a spinoff. Wish I could go aboard the Jolly Roger)
I have mixed feelings now about going without the kids. I’ve now been out to California 3 times sans kids, and it’s always been for the Expo or Destination D. Because of the *extreme* amount of running around, late nights (I’m on California time to wake up but Florida time to go to sleep, if I do) and lots of sitting through presentations, I always felt like they would not enjoy it and it would make it harder to keep them entertained. BUT, after bringing them on their first visit to Disneyland last year, just a brief few days, I do wish I could bring them out again and do all the parks and ALL there is to see in California. I just need to win the lottery (don’t we all?) I think. 😉
And thanks, you know I’ll post a million pictures out there!
