I really hope that the official Kingdom Hearts social media accounts provide press releases of any major news that breaks out.

I'm sure our KHI staff will report on any major things! Looking forward to a summary if possible.

A bunch of us are going so you can count on it

The schedule looks so boring. They're probably going to show off the same UX concept art they showed at D23.

Of this I have no doubt.

 

[Chaser]

Of this I have no doubt.

I'm sorry you have to sit through this! No KH3 and watching the marketing team behind the money hungry Global Version make Sign go crazy.

 

[Sora2016]

Of this I have no doubt.

Ah yeah, that is quite possible lol...

I must agree the schedule itself is super boring looking. Do the panels really last 2 to 3 hours? Or is there buffer time to let the guests explore the little set ups they have set up? I imagine the latter. I guess a panel lasting 2 hours isn't crazy, but 3 sounds like a lot.

 

[Sonicfan2525]

Yeah the event is looking pretty barren and boring to me. But I think we'll get at least one piece of interesting news out of the event. Some new medals, maybe a new UX world, a sneak peak of some future story stuff, and the event will end with everyone being gifted 3000 jewels or something. Just the usual stuff.

Really interested in that free gift bag though. I doubt it'll be anything super special, but i'm always down for some new merch.

 

[Recon]

what a missed opportunity to serve heart shaped pizza for lunch. at least they are selling merch!

 

[luuizhenriquem]

Dear lord this is boring... lol

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Looks pretty flat. They are going to have to work hard to beat me, Sign, and Dandelion’s trip to Disneyland.

 

[Chaser]

I mean, 90 minutes between check-in and doors opening, and then an hour before opening remarks seems a little... much. Like opening remarks should be made right after doors open. There's no point in having people come 90 minutes early if they have to wait 2 and a half hours before potentially juicy stuff happens.

Nothing can beat the happiest place on earth!

(In my head kingdom hearts is disneyland... and when Sora Summons rides he is channeling kingdom hearts power)

 

[conkwe]

This does look quite lackluster. Not even a signing/photo session. I'm not sure if my casual friend that I'm bringing will enjoy staying the whole day.

I'm really hoping that there's a pin in the gift bag.

 

[reimeille]

I didn't exactly have high hopes anyways, but this is... odd. Why is there so much time in between everything?? Especially between door opening & the opening remarks, when we already have an 1 1/2hr of time for check-in?? It's a set number of guests, so it's not like they have to leave space for unexpected crowds. They could've condensed the whole thing, theoretically to encourage more of us to head to Disneyland before/after (hey, it worked on me, lol).

Originally I had planned on going to the park the day before so I could stay at the event the whole time, but it looks like I'm gonna be deathly bored if I do that... I hope I'm just misunderstanding or they have a lot of stuff to do they're just not talking about yet...

If they don't at least announce the first new Disney world for UX I will just be baffled lol. They just keep annoyingly hinting at it for way too long now, and there really needs to be some sort of news on this game at least to come out of this. Otherwise I dunno...I guess yeah its nice you guys going get to still go to Disneyland since its right there lol.

But that shouldn't be why people are going hahah.

 

[Pirate Queen]

What in the world do you do from opening time till event panel??? No autographs, no nothing. Glad I'm not missing a thing! Lol. No wonder they're paying a bunch of YouTubers to go. They need someone to talk them up. Ha ha.

Calm down, it's just a schedule.
