It’s been announced that tickets for the event will be going on sale on March 26th 2024, with more details on pre-sale and prices coming nearer the time.
This year’s event is going to see some changes; while the main show will still take place at the Anaheim Convention Center, which is on the other side of the street from the Disneyland Resort, this year, the main showcase presentations will take place in the evenings at the Honda Center.
In the past, Disney has streamed panels from the main hall on YouTube and social media. This year, they’re set to stream parts of the event on Disney+, marking a shift from previous events. Despite small highlight videos at the last D23 Expo, this year’s plans aim to elevate the event, with Disney’s chief brand officer referring to it as their “Superbowl.”
Disney chief brand officer Asad Ayaz said, “It’s akin to our very own Super Bowl or Comic Con weekend, presenting an unparalleled opportunity for your brands to connect with fans of all ages and families from across the globe.”
Historically, main panels included studio showcases with new announcements, legends presentations, and theme park updates. These panels unveil Disney’s future content and park plans. Making them accessible to more fans through in-person attendance or Disney+ streaming benefits both the company and its audience.
A notable showcase is the Disney Legends presentation, honoring key contributors. In the last D23 Expo, stars from “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Black-ish,” and “Frozen” were inducted into Disney’s Hall of Fame.
Keep in mind only “portions” of the event will be streamed on Disney+. Some announcements or panels will be kept just for those at the Expo. This event makes Disney a lot of money so they’ll want to ensure people still attend in person.
The upcoming D23 event will feature Disney+ integrations, building on the focus from the past two Expos. While the specific details remain unclear, the event promises a new interactive app, musical performances, a unique shopping experience, and special presentations. Additionally, a special celebration day precedes the Ultimate Fan Event at Disneyland Resort on August 8th, 2024.
