Disney+ has announced its plans for the D23 Expo, which includes a chance for guests to get the first public preview of the App Experience and a sneak peek screening of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”

For the first time ever, three of Disney’s signature streaming services, Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, will showcase their variety of original and exclusive content through immersive show floor pavilions, live demos, never-before-seen content, and special experiences at D23 Expo 2019 in Anaheim, California.

Guests will be the first to experience Disney+ before it launches in the U.S. on November 12.

Disney+ Pavilion

On the Expo show floor, the Disney+ Pavilion will offer guests demonstrations of the live Disney+ app as experienced across mobile and connected TV devices, showcasing the unprecedented collection of entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and more. Guests will also see costumes and props from Disney+ Originals and have the opportunity to subscribe to the service with a special offer available exclusively to Expo attendees and D23 Members.

Off of the show floor, Disney+ will make its debut appearance in the 6,800-seat Hall D23 and D23 Expo Arena venues:

The D23 Expo certainly looks like we are going to learn a lot more about Disney+, both in terms of its exclusive content and a closer look at the app.  And if they are letting people sign up, they must be close to offering the same to everyone else.
