Same here & I have already Completed it. Interesting set of questions this time,
A few opportunities for freeform text with no apparent character limitations. Some freeform fields may depend on responses - ie I did not give one question the highest mark and it then gave me a box to provide info as to why I rated it as I did.Any opportunity for free text, or is it all multiple choice? Examples of the "interesting questions"?
That was a long surveySame here & I have already Completed it. Interesting set of questions this time,
The Are you a parent question is not written correctly as it asks if you are a parent without any age restrictions, which I am, then next question wants ages but only accepts value up to 17 & mine is older. No way to go back and change the responses along the way, so my older kid is now 1 in the survey which will not make sense. I was afraid to hit the Back button and risk not being able to complete the survey.
I guess I don't understand using SP and splitting up when you could have sat together as Gold Members. (It's not as if the option to sit together didn't exist -- may not have been convenient, but it did exist.) Gold Members got seated first and in better sections -- I've read more than one comment that SP guests got seated late, behind the GM sections -- so we chose to forego SP (not that we had many in the first place) and stick with the GM or stand by lines. It will be interesting to see what changes D23 makes to the line rules regarding families waiting/sitting together based on the feedback they get from this year.We had a gold family membership. The problem was the stagepass - we had a stagepass for two of us, because they only let you get for two. So we had stagepass for two, and then I got in the gold member line. But they still wouldn't let us sit together. There was no reason for DW and DD to get to the panel three hours ahead when they had a stagepass (and got there like 75 minutes ahead.)

It allows you reserved seating at panels, like any convention of this magnitude even with the vip package there is still waiting in line.Reading about all these lines is crazy! DH and I are the type of people who think standby 30 min for an E ticket ride is pushing it. I know they have the Sorcer's Package or something. Does the sorcerer's package allow you to skip these crazy lines. I've been interested in D23, but I don't think I would be able to do 3 days of these lines.

It really seems like this year they dropped the ball on giving Sorcerers what they deserved. You paid a premium for those tickets and should have had the premium experience you deserved for that price.I was fortunate to have the Sorcerer's pass for the Expo last week. Yes, we still had lines that we waited in. For the main 4 Hall D23 panels, if you wanted a front row seat, you were lining up several hours before being let in. I actually got in line at 7:30am on Sunday for the Parks & Resort panel. With the other 3 main panels, I think I got in line around 90 or 2 hours prior to the start of the panel. But I know some Sorcerer's walked in about 30 minutes or less before the panel and had a seat. For the smaller panels, like in the Archives stage, we just needed to be there about 15-20 minutes before hand to claim a seat. But if we didn't get there then, we could lose out on seeing the panel if it was full because they would start filling all available seats even those reserved for the Sorcerer's.
Outside of our preview shopping day on Thursday, if we wanted to do additional shopping, we either had to do the Stand By queue or try to get the Store Pass during the advanced online reservations. I actually did not get any additional Store Passes and like others I waited in that virtual queue for over an hour to get nothing. Then on the first day of the Expo, while we had a dedicated line to get to the Expo floor and prime spot to get to the stores, the way the D23 staff handled this was maddening. It ended up being unsafe and I had to bail out of trying to get into the Disney Store. It was not even controlled chaos.
If we wanted to do anything on the Expo floor, like the Archives or Marvel, Pixar, etc., we did not have front of the line for any of the booths. We would have to wait in the queue with everyone else. The only thing we had was the ability during our Welcome Reception to see the Archives and to look at some of the big booths prior to Friday morning. But we didn't have access to everything or all of the vendors.
The survey was for D23 members specifically and covered the expo as well as membership and other D23 events. Are you perchance not a D23 member? And if anyone is checking their spam, the subject line was "We Want to Hear from You!" and the sender was disneytwentythree@em.disneytwentythree.com.I never got a survey. Did it only go out to the folks who purchased a 3 day badge? Or is it just sent to a random sample of attendees?

Just generally, I think it's important for people to remember that going to Expo isn't like going to the parks. Expo is like any other large Con -- so waiting in long lines for just about everything (including the restrooms and drinking fountains/water stations) is part of the game plan. And unlike the parks where you expect to get on the ride after waiting in line, you might wait in a stand by line at Expo and not even get in to the store/panel/giveaway/signing of your choice. It happens. People who attend Expo expecting it to be just like a day at the parks are usually very disappointed.Reading about all these lines is crazy!

May I ask, sincerely, what you expected for what you paid and how that should have been in any way different from what others in this thread paid for? I'm just curious because others posted throughout this thread their experiences from past Expos and what they expected/hoped for from this one. They posted guidance and suggestions for newcomers to help them know what to expect and how to prepare. So if you expected something different, it would help us understand your perspective going in.... I expect to get what I pay for. That is my expectation and it is appropriate...
Did you have the privacy settings in the D23 app turned on? Like turning off the analytics? We did that last Expo and never received a survey. Did it again this Expo and have not received a survey. If you don't receive a survey but would like to send in your comments, try sending an email to D23 Guest Services. It can't hurt.I never got a survey.
