D23 announced some changes to member benefits for its Gold Members and Gold Family Members. In past years, Gold and Gold Family members were allowed 1 hour early access prior to normal attendees to the Expo. This year they will receive priority seating for the presentations being held in Hall D23 and D23 Expo Arena, an complimentary Expo-exclusive print, as well as discounts from Disney partners such as Havaianas, Ozobot, Steiff, and Thomas Kinkade.
Also of note, D23 Charter members (members who joined back in 2009 and have maintained their Gold membership status) will have access to a private lounge that will be just off the show floor where they will be able relax and purchase food and beverage.
This year's D23 Expo will once again being using the The Arena at the Anaheim Convention Center which wasn't used for D23 Expo 2015. The 2017 D23 Expo will take place July 14 through July 16.

List of Walt Disney World Restaurants Offering Mobile Ordering Discovered:
Last month Walt Disney World announced that when Santu'li Canteen opens in Pandora: The World of Avatar opens will offer Mobile Ordering. They also announced that it would soon be coming to other Walt Disney World restaurants in the near future. Here is what the service entails:
Mobile ordering allows you to pay for meals on-the-go with the My Disney Experience app, bypassing the queue to order in the restaurant. Using the app, you can select any of the menu items, customize them as you wish, and pre-pay for the meal. Arriving at the restaurant, guests will simply tap “I’m Here”, which will notify cast members to prepare the meal. When it’s ready, you will be alerted in the app to pick up the food at a designated service window. Only credit card payments will be accepted for this service, with Dining Plan guests still having to use the normal queue, at least as of right now.
WDW News Today has discovered at least 15 Quick Service Restaurants that will offer Mobile Ordering which includes Santu'li Canteen. Here is the list:
- ABC Commissary
