D23 kicked off in earnest this morning with the presentation of the Disney Legends awards, as well as some super-surprising news that Ming Na Wen was joining Jon Favreau’s “Star Wars” series, “The Mandalorian.”
Needless to say, with that kind of excitement during an awards panel, there’s no telling what’ll happen during the Disney+ presentation. There is no live stream for it, so that more than likely means that those in attendance will be getting some trailers, exclusive footage, and other fabulous goodies.
We’ll do our best to keep you updated as the news rolls out from various sources….so keep checking back!
There will be a new Lizzy McGuire series on Disney+, and YES Hilary Duff is returning to the role.
The panel kicked off with a presentation from the upcoming series “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” complete with a full production of dancers, singers, and cheerleaders.
Looks like we may actually be getting some Disney+ live stream!

As announced Friday at the Mouse House’s D23 Expo, Muppets Now will be a shortform unscripted series featuring the iconic characters.
