D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is filling its largest show floor yet with a Marvel TVA walkthrough, a Pixar anniversary celebration, Lucasfilm experiences, Disney Archives displays, and a 4D trip into Disney+ and Hulu. The ticketed event runs August 14 through 16, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Disney is also adding a kickoff at Disneyland Resort on August 13. A limited number of fans may attend Disney Princess: The Ultimate Concert Celebration at Disney California Adventure Park, where lights, projections, and fountains will accompany the largest gathering of Disney Princess talent assembled for one performance.
Along with the expanded show floor, ticketholders will have access to more than 50 panels and shows, shopping locations, interactive experiences, immersive walkthroughs, and first-look moments.
Show floor experiences
The show floor will bring together Disney’s film studios, streaming brands, theme park teams, archives, and merchandise under one roof. Marvel Studios’ TVA Experience: Your Next Assignment places guests inside an immersive walkthrough spanning familiar and new worlds from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Lucasfilm’s returning pavilion will display props and costumes from current and upcoming stories. Fans can also attend fireside chats with filmmaking teams.
Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios are sharing a pavilion built around artist demonstrations, autograph signings, giveaways, and interactive displays. Featured films include Hexed, Frozen 3, Gatto, and Incredibles 3.
Mundo Pixar: The D23 Experience will preview its touring exhibition with life-size sets and a dedicated merchandise shop. Nearby, the Avatar Experience will take fans into a bioluminescent version of Pandora with a 4D moment and a gallery devoted to the artistry behind Na’vi culture.
The Disney+ Hulu Experience has another 4D theater, exclusive merchandise, and a collectible mystery pin quest. Its photo locations draw from titles including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Simpsons, and Only Murders in the Building. The Imagineering: Horizons pavilion will offer a glimpse at the future of Disney parks.
Disney Princess concert access
Fans need a virtual queue confirmation, a wristband, and valid Disney California Adventure Park admission to attend the August 13 concert. Capacity is limited, and additional steps may be required. The concert is one part of the broader D23 Day at Disneyland Resort schedule.
If the concert is your priority, watch Disneyland.com for instructions and do not rely on park admission alone. Disney California Adventure will also host the returning Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party with live entertainment, character experiences, and interactive activities.
Fans who cannot attend the concert in person can stream it on Disney+ or watch on Disney Channel, Freeform, and The Wonderful World of Disney on ABC on August 16.
