The Walt Disney Company has officially announced the much-anticipated details for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event of 2024, setting the stage for what promises to be an unprecedented gathering of Disney aficionados. Scheduled to take place from August 9th to 11th in Anaheim, California, the event aims to surpass all previous iterations with an array of new experiences, showcases, and opportunities for fans to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Disney’s storytelling and innovation.

Before the main event unfolds at the Anaheim Convention Center, Disney enthusiasts are invited to partake in the inaugural D23 Day at Disneyland Resort on August 8th. This special day will offer attendees a range of unique activities, from a custom parade and dance party at Disneyland Park to exclusive photo ops and themed merchandise at both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Parks. The celebration extends to Angel Stadium on August 4th, where the first 23,000 fans will receive a unique D23 Mickey Mouse bobblehead, marking the event's commitment to spreading the Disney magic citywide.

In a significant expansion of the event’s programming, the Honda Center will host three nights of marquee showcases, beginning with the Disney Entertainment Showcase on August 9th. This evening will feature a constellation of stars presenting exclusive previews of upcoming movies, series, and stage shows. The Disney Experiences Showcase on August 10th will offer insights into new projects and developments in Disney parks and beyond, culminating in the Disney Legends Ceremony on August 11th. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, this ceremony will honor the 2024 class of Disney Legends, including luminaries like Colleen Atwood, Angela Bassett, and Harrison Ford, for their significant contributions to the Disney legacy.

The heart of D23, the Anaheim Convention Center, will be transformed into the most expansive show floor in the event's history. Attendees can look forward to returning pavilions from Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, and more, alongside new additions like the Walt Disney Archives’ “A Great Big Beautiful Car Show.” An expanded shopping experience will also be featured, with exclusive merchandise and collectibles available for purchase.
