This one-of-a-kind KINGDOM HEARTS pop-up experience also features a special Keyblade exhibit, featuring life-size replicas directly from KINGDOM HEARTS III, larger-than-life art inspired by characters and worlds from the game, and digital kiosks where attendees can pre-order the game and merchandise ahead of their releases.
The Disney Springs KINGDOM HEARTS location will be open from December 14, 2018 through January 31, 2019.

I'm pretty sure they're just going to bring those Keyblade replicas from the conventions and the UX cutout displays. And whatever they have leftover from the Premiere Event.

Aww just one location? No Disney Land? Welp there goes my chances.
*stares out at Disneyland* It's okay, ol' boy. One day.
Larger than life art sounds interesting. I'd love to see official artwork for worlds such as Toy Box and Arendelle
My last comp ticket from my time working at Disney expires this month, so this is the perfect excuse to get me back down there to use it. It’s probably a good thing I don’t work there anymore because I would’ve been hitting up the demo everyday. Lol
it kh3 disenaps not ux dispays so it got to be like those dsiplays from lucca we saw but ialso agree with keyblades one
And yet they brought those same displays to the Premiere Event.
Seems like a good time for the exposure with the holidays approaching and lots of people taking their families to vacation spots like this.
Disney, hey. Hey Disney. Bring the demo to Disneyland. k byyyyyyyyyyyyye
Definitely gonna go there.
What?! I already had my Disney trip planned for the end of this month. This is perfect!
I'm super bummed this isn't coming to Disneyland, since I not only live close enough to make it there on a whim but already had money set aside for a holiday visit...
My sister pointed out that it's possible considering the launch event track record that perhaps this was only announced there because something different is going on here. I hope that's the case. I love KH events and its a dream to have one in Disneyland (even if Downtown Disney isn't technically "in" Disneyland LOL).
I want that poster. I saw it at my local Gamestop when I put more money on my pre-order and I wanna see if I can grab it on release day...
HAHAHAHAHA YES!!!!!!!!!!
I'M GONNA BE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA WITH MY FRIENDS IN JANUARY
IT ALL FINALLY WORKED OUT FOR OL' LAUNCHY!!!!!!

Take me with you! I want to go so bad. We're planning our Disney vacation in 2020 and the event I was going to for the PS tour of greatness lost the demo before I could attend. :(
Oh my goodness when I found out about this! I was at Disney this week because my friend flew down here to visit. Yesterday we went to Animal Kingdom and this lady in the store saw my KH shirt and was like "Did you know we have a KH event at Disney Springs where you can play the demo on the 14th?". I was so confused and didn't know if she knew what she was talking about because I didn't hear about it on here yet.
I'm so excited for this. I work at Universal and this has made me more happy that I moved to Florida than my career.

Some of us are probably going to see eachother soon and never realize who it is!

You never know! I was in line to play the demo at E3 and someone recognised me and asked for a photo. I was very flattered but it was so random, especially since the other time I was recognised was at the concert and I was with Oracle Spockanort and Sign (who have had photos of themselves promoted on KHI's social media).
My point is, you may not realise anyone from KHI is around you but there's always a chance somehow!
This really is a great marketing move. Disney Springs is the perfect venue as families can go check out the demo whenever they need a break from shopping. Those families will be from places all over the world and will hopefully spread positive word of mouth whenever they go back home. Plus, it’s free to access unlike the majority of the other demo locations that have been at ticketed events.

I don't post on social media and I pressure you and Spockanort into doing the public appearances, so nobody recognizes me 8D
That being said, I hope y'all attending can find each other and hang out :)

You're in the photo with Bryan Dechart, KHI's signature heart-throb :D
Meh, I won't be able to go to it, so I'm like whatevs...
I will just ask every random stranger I see if they are certain people ;). "HEY YOU, ARE YOU ANGEL? ARE YOU LAUNCHPAD?". "You in the KH hat, are you by any chance Sign from KHI?"
So one of my best friends is going to the cast member preview of the event tonight. I’ll keep y’all posted on anything interesting.

Unfortunately none of the staff will be there ;-;

Thanks Zip! :D
So I just finished attending the cast preview. Some of the details:
Area has some stands featuring Keyblades, figures and artwork. A television and little seating area playing a rotation of the trailers from the past year or so. You could preorder the game there by emailing yourself a cart and completing the purchase at home.
Roughly 30 game areas, split between PS4 and Xbox One. Cast members selected your console of preference when checking in.
2 options for the demo: Olympus fight versus the Rock Titan, or Toy Story (Opening battle in Andy's room, exterior and Galaxy Toys' mech battle). Toy Box features upwards of 7 minute cutscenes that can be skipped. We had ~ 15 minutes to play as much as we wanted between the two, I completed both.
Game felt really fluid and polished, a real gem mixing elements from KH2, BBS and DDD. The wall climbing in Olympus felt a little odd and unresponsive at times, but not to the point of crafting a negative experience. The WIR summon was enjoyable, Ariel took a bit to get used to. Attractions were a lot of fun and added some unique elements.
Feel free to ask away
They have displays for all the Disney worlds revealed so far including 100 Acre Wood, Olympus, and Corona, which I don’t think think have had displays for at previous events.
UPDATE: If you pre-order at the event, you get a lanyard as a pre-order bonus.

Those life size replicas of the keyblades look amazing.

They all sound good, especially Light vs. Dark potion. Maybe they could add on the Sea Salt Frappachino at some point
