What’s at D23 2026
The weekend is built around three Honda Center showcases: the Disney Entertainment Showcase on Friday, August 14, the Disney Experiences Showcase (parks and resorts) on Saturday, August 15, and the Disney Legends Award Ceremony on Sunday, August 16 at 1:30 p.m. PT. This year’s Legends class includes Dwayne Johnson, Anne Hathaway, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bob Iger, the Jonas Brothers, and eight others. The ceremony streams on Disney+.
The Convention Center show floor includes Mundo Pixar: The D23 Experience, an immersive walk-through experience; the Walt Disney Archives: Uncrated exhibition; activations for Bluey, Camp Rock 3, and The Simpsons; and a Formula 1 display featuring Mickey F1 branding. Disney says this is the largest D23 show floor ever, with expanded hours Friday through Sunday.
The event also extends beyond the weekend. A D23 Member Preview opens August 8. D23 Night at Angel Stadium takes place August 12, where the first 23,000 fans get a themed Mickey Mouse bobblehead. D23 Day at Disneyland Resort on August 13 includes a Disney Legends Cavalcade and a Disney Jr. party at California Adventure.
How to Buy Today
Go to D23.com and sign in with your Gold Membership before the sale opens. The priority window for Essential, Choice, and Complete members starts at 10 a.m. PT. All other Gold Members can join the queue at noon PT. Given how quickly D23 tickets have sold out in past years, being in the queue at open is the move.
Gold Members who miss out can join a limited waitlist once tickets sell out. Disney+ subscribers on the D23 Gold Monthly plan can also upgrade to a paid Essential, Choice, or Complete plan at 20% off for a limited time, which qualifies them for today’s priority window.
