Tickets for the event are sold out, so if you’ve got your ticket, consider yourself lucky! There is so much to see at this year’s expo, including some pretty epic merchandise. But shopping at this event will require some skill. Not to worry though, we’re here to walk you through how to master D23 Expo shopping!

At this year’s Expo, fans will be able to buy products celebrating Disney100, as well as other limited-edition and never-before-seen items from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. Mobile checkouts and virtual queues will be used, so the ultimate key here is to first download the D23 Expo 2022 AND Disneyland apps.
