So I read along with my friends on Twitter. I retweeted and favorited many of their tweets. They put up images of the newly announced characters like Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia, Spot from Disney•Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur and a limited edition set of Light FX Star Wars™ character figures that light up when placed onto the Disney Infinity Base. While those were very cool reveals there was also the announcement that Peter Pan would be coming to Disney Infinity 3.0 next year. There was also a reveal of two characters from the upcoming Star Wars™ The Force Awakens themed Play Set, Finn and Rey. The audience was treated to a surprise when the actors who play these characters came out on stage with the character reveal. They even gave away figures to two lucky attendees.
Another special announcement was that the Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts will become an item in the Disney Infinity 3.0 Toy Box.

I bet that power disc is all over eBay right now. Continue reading D23 Expo Reveals More Disney Infinity 3.0 Characters
