D23: The Official Disney Fan Club has announced its slate of special events for 2014 and perhaps one of the biggest events for this year is Destination D: Attraction Rewind Presented by H2O Plus.
This event is scheduled for July 26-27 at the Walt Disney World Resort and will bring together Disney archivists, Imagineers, and Legends to celebrate favorite Disney attractions of yesteryear.
Fans will have a chance to see concept art and images from the attractions, vintage video, and more.
Some of the attractions in the 'rewind' include If You Had Wings, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Adventure Thru Inner Space.
D23 is hitting the road again this year for the D23 Disney Fanniversary Celebrations. These celebrations are hosted by Disney archivists and the D23 Team, and are meant to commemorate Disney milestones and landmark anniversaries throughout the year.
Fanniversay events will be held in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, New York City, Seattle, and other cities this fall and will revisit theme park attractions, TV series, films, and more than 90 years of Disney history.
Some of the anniversaries being celebrated during the Fanniversary events are Donald Duck, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Haunted Mansion, The Little Mermaid, and more.
Fans will also have a chance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Mary Poppins on August 24 with a special screening event.
Other D23 events this year include Disney Store Member Mixers at reimagined stores in Florida, Kansas, New Jersey, California, and Nevada; special D23 member days at The Walt Disney Imagineering employee store Mickey's of Glendale; movie screenings on the Disney Studio Lot; D23 Day at The Walt Disney Studios and Archives; and more.

What do they mean by re-experience the rides? They're not setting them back up again to ride, are they? Because that would be Amazing!

Why is it that the one and only weekend I have something to do for the WHOLE ENTIRE SUMMER, that's when they have the Destination D???
I really, really hate when that happens! :-(

Kristina - I doubt that they will set the rides up again, they probably mean to experience them again through media.

It looks like they have changed the date of Destination D to November 22-23, 2014.
