While you’re picking up some new albums, make sure to stop and get them signed by some of the people behind the music! Album signings at the Disney Music Emporium shop include Oscar®– and Grammy®-winning composer and Disney Legend Randy Newman (Toy Story films, The Princess and the Frog, Cars films); composer Tyler Bates (Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1); actor Anthony Gonzalez (voice of Miguel from Coco); singer-songwriter, actor, and dancer Matthew Morrison (Glee); plus Hollywood Records artist JD McCrary (voice of young Simba in The Lion King).

But, of course, that’s not all. On Friday, August 23, at the Archives Stage from 10:30–11:30 a.m., Randy Thornton, Disney Music Group’s Supervising Producer and Music Historian will be presenting “Great Moments with Walt Disney.”
In this presentation, you’ll hear audio recordings of Walt Disney himself as he recalls developing the first cartoon with synchronized sound, creating Disney’s first hit song, and meeting Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
Well, we can say for certain it’ll be a foot-tapping good time at D23 Expo 2019!
