D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Coming To Singapore In 2027
Disney has announced that it will be bringing the D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event to Singapore for the first time in 2027.
This event will mark the first D23 Asia being hosted in Singapore, a one-of-a-kind celebration offering consumers exclusive, first access to the latest in Disney storytelling, creativity, and innovation. The event will convene Disney fans from across Asia Pacific and beyond, alongside top stars and storytellers from Hollywood and around the world, uniting global communities through shared fandom, some beloved characters, and immersive experiences.
D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is a global expansion of the ultimate fan experience, launched in 2009 by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. The name “D23” carries a special meaning, with the “D” standing for Disney and “23” referencing the year Walt Disney opened his first studio in Hollywood in 1923. D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event has evolved into the premier global celebration of Disney storytelling and fandom.
This immersive, multi‑day event brings fans up close to the worlds of Disney through live stage presentations, special announcements, interactive experiences, and specially curated merchandise—inviting audiences to experience the magic behind the stories they love.
Asad Ayaz, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer, The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement regarding the new D23 event:
“Bringing D23 to Singapore reflects the incredible passion of Disney fans across Asia Pacific and our desire to meet them where they are. D23 Asia will bring these fans together as a community to celebrate the powerful connection they have with our stories, characters, and experiences, and to get an exciting look at what lies ahead.”
Carol Choi, Executive Vice President, Integrated Marketing & APAC Original Strategy, The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific added,
“Disney has an extraordinary and growing fan base across Asia Pacific and bringing D23 to Singapore marks a natural evolution in our journey to bringing unforgettable fan experiences to audiences across this diverse region in new and meaningful ways. D23 Asia will offer fans a truly distinctive experience, with exclusive previews of our APAC Originals for Disney+ and the opportunity to hear directly from the creative talent behind our shows.”
D23 Asia builds on the legacy of ultimate Disney fan events in Anaheim, California, and is part of D23’s continued global expansion to bring fan events to destinations around the world, including the recent D23 Brazil – A Disney Experience. D23 Asia in Singapore aspires to deliver a reimagined experience created specifically for Asia, while staying true to the scale, creativity, and fan-first spirit that define D23 events worldwide.
Ms. Jean Ng, Assistant Chief Executive, Experience Development Group, Singapore Tourism Board, added:
“We are excited to bring D23 to Southeast Asia for the very first time. Together with Disney, we will be creating memorable experiences that resonate with fans across the region and beyond. This milestone further strengthens our partnership and adds to our vibrant and dynamic calendar of events and experiences that position Singapore as the premier destination for memorable experiences.”
More details, including ticketing and programming information, will be announced at a later date.
Roger’s Take: It’s great to see the D23 events spreading around the world, as Disney has enough fans globally to warrant additional events, plus it’s a great way to rotate it with the US event, which takes place every other year. I also think taking it to Singapore will also result in a huge boost in fans having a short cruise on the new Adventure ship, which recently launched in Singapore. Now, the trip to Singapore I’ve been thinking about for a few months has suddenly become a little more interesting! We will also see plenty of new news about upcoming films and shows, with a focus on Asian Disney+ originals from Japan, Korea and beyond, which will be a bigger part of the show.
