The biggest Disney fan event of the year is taking place in Disney World this year, but you had to be VERY lucky to snatch up a ticket!
The Contemporary
Last year, it was all about the D23 Expo in Anaheim, but in 2023 the big event is Destination D23 in Walt Disney World. The event will celebrate 100 years of Disney with presentations from Disney archivists and Imagineers, a presentation from Josh D’Amaro (Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman) about “what makes a Disney experience so magical,” a look at Disney’s “limitless future,” special shopping experiences, and much more. The event will take place from September 8th-10th at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but the ticket-buying experience gave us a little deja-vu.

20 years ago a clown fish father-son duo swam their way into our hearts and their blue tang friend taught us to ‘Just Keep Swimming!’ Yes, that’s right, Finding Nemo is 20 YEARS old (nothing like that little fact to make you feel ancient 🤣).
Go with the flow!
To celebrate this momentous anniversary, you could book a stay at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort (which has some Finding Nemo theming in one area), watch the revamped Finding Nemo musical at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, or visit some real fish at The Seas with Nemo and Friends in EPCOT.
