Business Wire
National Geographic joins Disney’s D23 Expo show floor for the
first time, delivering unique experiences that inspire curiosity
and exploration for fans of all ages. From free solo climbing to
the top of El Capitan to exploring the “why” behind the “wow”
behind our gray matter, National Geographic will immerse fans in
adventure, ignite their curiosities about the world, and surprise
them with stories unlike any they’ve seen before, harnessing the
spirit of the iconic yellow border.
For the first time at D23 Expo, guests will engage with National
Geographic’s wildly popular series, talent, explorers, and some
very special guests—cuddly four-legged friends! National Geographic
will also be supporting its Disney+ originals at D23 Expo. Details
on experiences, talent appearances, and special signings in the
National Geographic pavilion will be made available on the D23 Expo
app and include the following:
- National Geographic is reaching new heights to accomplish the
impossible. Kicking it off on Aug. 23 from 1 to 2 p.m., get
inspired at a book signing with legendary rock climber Alex
Honnold, featured in the Academy Award-winning film Free
Solo, which documented his achievement of his lifelong dream:
to climb the face of the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National
Park, without a rope.
- Then, on Aug. 24 from 3 to 4 p.m., the doctor will see you now!
His day isn’t complete unless he’s checked a cow for pregnancy or
helped a goat with pneumonia. But it’s all in a day’s work for
Dr. Jan Pol from Nat Geo WILD’s No. 1 series, The
Incredible Dr. Pol. Hear his amazing animal stories, and cuddle
up with his surprise guests—his cutest, furriest, four-legged
friends!
- Chill out on Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to noon with Sue
Aikens from multiple-Emmy-award-winning series Life Below
Zero, and hear about her jaw-dropping lifestyle in the remote
corners of Alaska. Get a little taste of the subzero temperatures
of Alaska while she signs autographs, takes pictures, and shares
her incredible tales.
- Throughout the weekend on the show floor, National Geographic
is also creating a unique fan experience—Beneath the Blue—a
breathtaking underwater world that will take you on an incredible
journey to explore the oceans and learn more about the impact of
single-use plastic on marine life.
In addition, National Geographic will present incredible panels
during D23 Expo, including WOMEN OF IMPACT: Meet the Nat Geo
Explorers Changing the World on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 10 to
11 a.m. on Stage 28, featuring women on the front lines of
exploration, conservation, and storytelling. They pilot submarines,
get up close with lions, tigers, and bears—and even breakdance!
Join submersible pilot and founder of a girls’ underwater camp
Erika Bergman; multimedia storyteller and Planet or Plastic
ambassador Lilly Sedaghat; and large-carnivore expert Dr.
Rae Wynn-Grant to give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what
it takes to become the next game-changing explorer!
Then, on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the D23
Expo Arena, fans will get a first look at the reboot of Brain
Games, National Geographic’s wildly popular series, during
Power Up Your Brain With Keegan-Michael Key. Ignite your
brain power and play some fun, mind-bending, interactive challenges
with Brain Games host Keegan-Michael Key (Toy Story
4, The Lion King) as he shows you the “why” behind the “wow.”
Joining him on stage will be top-class mentalist Lior
Suchard, who will no doubt deliver fans an engaging and
mind-blowing experience. Explore your mind’s mad skills during this
workout of your 3-pound slimy blob!
Single-day tickets for Friday and Sunday of D23 Expo 2019 are
available for $89 for one-day adult admission and $69 for children
ages 3-9. Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club can
