Perhaps Disney has taken a hint from Anime Expo, the largest annual gathering of anime fans in North America, which meets every July 4th weekend in Anaheim (except this year where it will be staged again at the Los Angeles Convention Center).

June 4, 2009 - LOS ANGELES -- Fans can get an early look at "TRON," "Toy Story 3" and Tim Burton's take on "Alice in Wonderland" this fall at Disney's first fan expo.

The four-day "D23 Expo" will be held Sept. 10-13 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

The event will feature sneak peeks of new Disney films, celebrity appearances, props from past Disney shows, an eight-room "Disney Dream Home" and various products.

Tickets go on sale Monday at http://www.d23expo.com

I wonder if you have to be a member of Disney's D23 club to attend this? (It costs $75 a year, the benefit for which is basically a magazine and a couple of pins.)
