Fan Fest 2018

At these events fans will have opportunities to hang with casts from Disney Channel’s most popular shows. Wouldn’t you just love to meet someone from ZOMBIES 2?

At Disneyland Resort there will be lots of activities for fans to enjoy. Activities include:

  • Disney’s “QUIZney” trivia challenge
  • Learn-to-draw sessions with creators from Disney Television Animation
  • Sneak peek at the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie “Upside-Down Magic”
  • “Descendants” and “ZOMBIES” themed dance parties
  • Photo opportunities with some of Disney Channel’s biggest stars

The Disney Channel stars will have a cavalcade down Mainstreet, U.S.A. with favorite Disney Characters. Won’t be in Disneyland on May 9th? This event will be live-streamed on the Disney Parks Blog and Disney Channel YouTube.

Fan Fest 2018

Want to take advantage of the learn to draw? Learn-to-draw sessions will be hosted by creative teams behind “The Owl House,” “Amphibia,” and “Big City Greens.”

The three weekends in Disney World will be hosted in EPCOT during the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. Join in on the fun May 16-17, May 23-24, and May 30-31. I’m disappointed that I just miss this.

Disney Parks Blog wrote “additional details, talent and schedule of events will be announced soon.”

Another piece of information to keep in mind, a disclaimer from Disney Parks Blog:

“CELEBRITY Photo Opportunities/meet-and-greet experiences will be available for fans with wristband distribution at park opening hour on a first-come, first-served basis and while supplies last. Cast Appearances subject to change or cancellation without notice. THeme park admission for disneyland Resort and walt disney world is required.”

I know I would have loved this event when I was a kid. I won’t lie, I have been binge watching Disney Channel shows and Disney Channel Original movies since the launch of Disney+.
