I know, I know. We’re right in the middle of this year’s D23, so why are we already thinking about next year?
Destination D23 2025
This massive expo is the Ultimate Disney Fan Experience, where Disney announces tons of details about movies, the parks, cruises, and every element of the Walt Disney Company. They also announced the new dates for next year, so if you’re feeling a little FOMO, you can start planning now.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience will take place from August 14th to 16th, 2026, in Anaheim, California. It will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center and the Honda Center.
Announcements
Tickets will be available for purchase starting in spring 2026.
Beyond just new announcements, there are also tons of shopping opportunities with exclusive merchandise. This year, there were quite a few Muppet finds!
Muppet merch!
You can see your favorite Disney stars perform on stage, watch them be inducted into the Disney Hall of Fame, and even interact with some of them throughout the convention. There are plenty of photo opportunities, and some fans even come decked out in the neatest costumes. It’s a whole weekend of spectacular and truly a one-of-a-kind experience that every Disney Adult needs to try at least once.
The gang helped with the announcements

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of D23. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy. Thank you for reading. — AJ
