Disney Channel Stars at the 2011 D23 Expo

There’s no denying that my favorite part of the 2009 D23 Expo was getting to see and meet more than a few of my favorite Disney Channel Girls, like Tiffany Thornton, Chelsea Staub, and Debby Ryan.

The 2011 D23 Expo was no different, starting with a repeat appearance from Tiffany Thornton plus Allisyn Ashley Arm, Sterling Knight, Doug Brochou, Shayne Topp, Matthew Scott Montgomery, and Damien Haas.

Doesn’t Tiff look pretty? (As always. xD )

Missing where Brandon Smith and Audrey Whitby. I really wanted to meet her. Oh well. I was able to finish my existing Sonny with a Chance autograph though – I just needed Sterling and Doug. =]

I had also wanted to see the Lemonade Mouth cast, Hayley Kiyoko in particular, but they cut the line before I got there. Damn.

She was there for the Phineas and Ferb meet and greet along with the voice of Phineas and Perry.

It took me four years to get her autograph, but I finally did it. :D BTW, she has an EP coming out soon on iTunes. She’s not sure if there will be physical CDs or not.

Next up was a signing for Kickin’ It. I didn’t go, but I did get to see Olivia Holt. And I have to say, she is mighty cute. =]

Finally was the cast of A.N.T. Farm. I finally got to tell Stefanie Scott how awesome I think she is. <3

And it was fun to talk to Sierra McCormic. She's a sweet little girl, emphasis on the little. I'll have to look her up when she's older.

Sorry for the delay in getting this post up. I know I said Monday, but I've been having computer problems and couldn't get anything new posted.

Sunday, the third and final day of the 2011 D23 Expo was just as amazing as the first two days. How many people can say they've seen Wilmer Valderrama hangin' out with Handy Manny? LOL

After that photo op, we got in line for the Pair of Kings signing.

I was there to see Kelsey Chow again (obviously). I had gotten her autograph at the filming, but it's faint 'cause her pin was dying. So when I saw her I was like "I hope your pen works this time" and she was like "Huh- OH! I remember you! =D" And then the Disney employee pushed me along for holding up the line. Of course, SHE was talking TO ME so how was that my fault? LOL

I was also quite shocked to see that Mitchel Musso himself showed up! He wasn't scheduled to attend and I had never met him before.

And have a look at this guy with the "I <3 Kelsey Chow" shirt! Lucky bastard... why didn't I think of that? LOL I actually ended up right next to him in the "Shake it Up" line. He's a nice kid.

Speaking of the Shake it Up line, what a mess. They didn't know where to put everyone and it was a pretty big mess overall. The line was closed by 2pm... if not sooner.

Now as frequent readers will remember, I've met Bella and Zendaya before. It was Caroline Sunshine that I really wanted to meet.

And yeah, meet her I did. :) I even had a few moments to tell her about my fansite and how excited I was to finally meet her.

I didn't really have anything to say to Zendaya... but I did get a solo autograph of her. =]

As for Bella, I didn’t have anything rehearsed so I simply told her that I couldn’t even begin to tell her how amazing she is.

Bella Thorne and me at the 2011 D23 Expo

She was like “Aww, thank you sir” … as if I needed to be reminded how she’s WAY too young for me. LOL. Here’s the autograph.

But that’s not all. Once we finished with the cast we went down in front of the stage to take a few more pics. I got some great shots of Bella and Zendaya.

And by absolute sure luck, I ended up standing against the side of the stage when they finished the signing and the cast came to the front to sign a few more autographs for the crowd! Bella was right in front of me, look!

My friend Anika who was right next to me even got a pic with Zendaya!

I was hoping Caroline would come over to our side, but she didn’t make it beyond mid stage before the CMs escorted her off the stage.

She was the last to leave, but we still had one more surprise in store before we left. About 30 minutes after the event wrapped up, I spotted Roshan Fegan and Anika got a great picture with him too.

And that my friends, was the last day of the 2011 D23 expo. It was something else, I’ll tell you that. Hope to see you all there in 2013. :)
