First Time at D23? What We Wish We Knew Before Going

We went to D23 for the first time — and learned pretty quickly that there is a LOT we wish we had known before we got there. In this episode of 5 Moore Hours, we’re grading our first D23 experience, breaking down what we actually spent, sharing our biggest rookie mistakes, talking about what was worth the money, and deciding whether we’d actually do it again. We cover the show floor, shopping, D23 Day at Disneyland, panels and presentations, the Honda Center showcase, the reservation system we completely dropped the ball on, our two-hour Spirit Jersey line disaster, surprisingly low park crowds, and what we’d do differently next time. If you’re thinking about going to D23 in the future, hopefully our rookie mistakes make your first trip a little easier. 😂 Would you go to D23 — or have you been before? What would you do differently? 📍 Follow Moore to Eat at Disney Instagram: @mooretoeatatdisney TikTok: @moore.to.eat.at.disney CHAPTERS 0:00 D23 Rookie Mistakes, 2-Hour Lines & First Impressions 0:21 Our First D23: What We Expected 1:54 Grading Our First D23 9:29 Our Biggest D23 Rookie Mistakes 12:16 Inside the D23 Show Floor 14:03 Princesses, Empty Parks + Freebies 16:21 Was the Honda Center Showcase Worth It? 17:45 What We’d Do Differently Next Time 18:45 Coco, Tomorrowland + What’s Next 19:57 Would We Do D23 Again?
