Although Jessica (lady_aurora on Twitter) isn’t attending, she is one of the most eager follow-alongers of the D23 happenings online. I must credit her for giving me the idea for this blog entry. I had already amassed my D23 Expo Twitter resources in a group in TweetDeck so once I saw that Jessica had written a blog entry with her resources, I figured I should follow suit! So DAP to you, Jessica!!! 
Definitely check out Jessica’s blog, The True Disney Fan Blog and read her blog post on D23 Expo Away From the Expo as she has some resources I might’ve missed.
Debby Ryan Shares Disney Vacation with Fans
Suite Life on Deck star, Debby Ryan shared some goodies on her official Twitter page.
I love that celebs – even the Teen stars, take the time to share elements of their lives with their fans. And Debby Ryan is one of the best! She constantly tweets updates to her fans.
For example:
Good morning!! On our way! We’re going to Disneyworld tomorrow for Emma’s first time!! Ever been? What’s your FAVORITE attraction &why?! (:
Dang! Why did you give us some heads up, Debby? Or at least, wait a couple of weeks ’til we’re down there. We can ride Expedition: Everest and grab a Dole Whip.
Of course, she made my night when she tweeted:
“Any wish is possible; all it takes is a little courage to set it free.” -quote from the fireworks show over Disneyworld tonight.
WIIIIIISHES!!!!!!
And then she posted a picture of the Wishes fireworks over the Cinderella Castle. So Magical!!
Debby is participating in the Disney Summer at Sea promotion. She’ll join Jennifer Stone from Wizards of Waverly Place on a 3-night Disney Cruise from July 30 to August 2.
This event, which has been going on all summer, sounds so much fun! During the cruise, the Disney Channel stars will engage in an autograph session, Q & A session, and a dance party!
I wonder what the stars do on their “down time”? On our last cruise, we had a Disney Imagineer on board, and I saw him walking around a few times. But Disney Channel stars might get mobbed a bit more than an Imagineer. Still would be neat to see Disney Channel stars roaming about the ship.
Debby even tweeted the Pop Stars Online article about how she got ready for the cruise:
You know it!!! ((: pics of me &Emma getting ready for the cruise! RT @popstarmagazine: Debby Ryan gets ready to cruise!: http://bit.ly/d7GXe
Really neat pictures and so much fun seeing her and friend getting ready!
And if you went on any of the Disney cruise ships with the Disney stars, let us know!

Selena Gomez Receives Yellow Birthday Roses
Tuesday, Selena Gomez tweeted, “Chillin on Waverly place for the day. I want yellow roses.”
Hours later and with some early Birthday Magic, the Wizards of Waverly Place starlet’s wish is granted! View the pictures and her comments below:
After A LOT of rehearsing, I came back into my room to find these…..
Okay, so this is amazing…… Thank you, again
Good to see she received our birthday gift to her! JUST KIDDING. We are happy that Selena received one of her birthday wishes. She certainly deserves a WONDERFUL birthday!! We think the Disney star is fantastic and a great actress! She seems very sweet and down-to-earth. Also, she has thus far stayed out of trouble that befalls other young celebrities.
Here’s to a very wonderfully HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Selena Gomez!!!!!!!!
A Chance to Talk with Selena LIVE!
Selena Gomez is giving her fans a chance to talk with her through SayNow. She announced it on her Facebook page:
Hey everyone– I had fun going live on the phone the other day I am going to do it again this Sunday @ 10am California time. Topic: Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie. Give me a call 214 306 9590. Talk to ya Sunday.
Enjoy this recent TwitPic from Selena, in which she wrote “One more from today at the shoot… Ever since Ash was in town I have been drinking iced tea like crazy.. Reminds me of home.”
Very cute picture!
