Tens of thousands of crazed Disney fans converged on the D23 Expo in Anaheim last weekend and Mouse Castle Lounge host Tim Callaway was one of them. And oh, the people he talked to: the voice cast of "Phineas & Ferb" and "Gravity Falls," singer/actress Susan Egan, Disney Animation Research Library creative director Lella Smith, video game developers for both "Disney Infinity" and "Fantasia: Music Evolved" and more. It's a random and thoroughly entertaining hour-long romp through the D23 Expo. Cocktails forever! www.TheMouseCastle.com

Two great conversations in the Lounge today. First, filmmaker Matthew Silva talks about his efforts to preserve the New York Pavilion in Flushing Meadows, one of the last remnants of the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. It was at this fair that Walt Disney launched some of his most iconic attractions including It's a Small World, the Carousel of Progress and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. We also wrap up a conversation with Tim O'Day, who tells tales about what it was like to hold the world premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" at Disneyland in 2006. www.TheMouseCastle.com
