For those who don’t know, the D23 Expo is an annual gathering of the Official Disney Fan Club. This event also typically serves as a time for Disney executives to make major announcements regarding upcoming films, theme park attractions, and more. It’s safe to say we’re impatiently waiting for August 23 to get here — we can’t wait to hear what’s in the pipeline for Disney!

The exciting Expo events listed below will all take place in “Hall D23,” located in Hall D of the Anaheim Convention Center. Additional events will be announced in the coming weeks.

Friday, August 23 Schedule

The Disney Legends Awards Ceremony will kick off the event at 10:30 AM. According to D23, the ceremony “hosted by Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger, will once again honor those visionaries and artists who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy.” This year’s recipients include Wing Chao, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, James Earl Jones, Bette Midler, Kenny Ortega, Barnette Ricci, Robin Roberts, Diane Sawyer, Ming-Na Wen, and Hans Zimmer.

At 3:30 PM, guests will get a sneak peek of the original content from Disney+, the streaming service expected to launch in November.

At 10:00 AM on Saturday, The Walt Disney Studios will present an exclusive look into its variety of upcoming films. Fans will find out what’s in the pipeline for Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios and learn more about live-action film projects as well. Attendees can expect special footage, exciting guests, and more! I am personally hoping we get a unique look into what’s next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
