If I only go to one of the events in the D23 Arena I'm glad it was this one! Opened by the chairman Alan Horn, only 14 months at Disney, with sizzle reels of the upcoming movies including the following:
Star Wars - episode 7 is to be expected Summer 2015 as well as more information about a spinoff that takes place in the star wars universe. Director JJ Avos, score composed by John Williams.
Thor 2 - the presentation included an extended look at the movie which seemed very epic as well as the unfinished scene of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) first day in Asgard. Special appearances by Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), and Anthony Hopkins (Odin).
Captain America the Winter Soldier- expected April 2014. Presentation included a first look at the first clip for the movie. Cap is getting hands on and knocking those guys out! Special appearances by Chris Evans (Captain America), Anthony Mackee (Falcon), and Sebastian Stan. Apparently Chris Evans will be visiting the happiest place on earth here at Disneyland.
Guardians of the Galaxy- filming right now in London expect this movie in August 2014. I really don't know much about the comic but the trailer makes it look like a comedy.
Avengers Age of Ultron-not much information here but a brief teaser was played.
Disney Nature Bears- premiers Earth day 2014 and proceeds will benefit the National Park Foundation.
President of live action production Sean Bailey presented the Walt Disney Studio movies coming in the near future.

Tomorrowland - a supposed lost box labeled 1952 had brought the inspiration for the new movie which seems to be mostly for all the Disney conspirators. Expected in December 2014 George Clooney will star as an inventor. Producers Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof were
on hand with some of the contents of this box and the rest are on display on the expo floor.
Saving Mr. Banks- this holiday season is time to see Walt Disney himself finally portrayed in this story of getting the rights to Mary Poppins. Tom Hanks as Walt and Emma Thompson as P.L. Travers. Bj Novak and Jason Schwartzman pkay the legendary Sherman brothers and had a special performance of Let's Fly a Kite on stage with Richard Sherman himself!
