D23: The Ultimate Fan Event To Feature Disney+ & Hulu Experience

Disney has announced details on what fans attending this year’s D23: The Ultimate Fan Event will be able to experience on the show floor, and once again, there is a whole area dedicated to Disney+ and Hulu

The D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event will be taking place on August 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Centre in Anaheim, California.

There will also be plenty of other experiences for those attending, including the Marvel Studios’ TVA Experience: A New Assignment; swap stories with the filmmakers behind a galaxy far, far away at the Lucasfilm pavilion; celebrate Pixar’s 40th anniversary; and travel into the worlds of Disney+ and Hulu in a signature 4D theater. Beyond the marquee studios, fans can venture into the rarely seen vaults of the Walt Disney Archives, get a glimpse of the future of the parks with the Imagineering: Horizons pavilion, discover standout offerings from some beloved brands, and come face-to-face with the magic makers who bring Disney stories to life across the company. Disney continues to create meaningful connections with audiences of all ages, and the show floor will offer fans unprecedented opportunities to celebrate some beloved favourites, discover new adventures, and experience the magic in ways only Disney can deliver.

Michael Vargo, head of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, said in a statement regarding the event:

“No one tells stories like Disney, and this year we’re bringing those stories to life on the largest show floor in D23 event history. The show floor experience invites guests to explore, engage with, and celebrate the brands and franchises they love through immersive activations, unforgettable moments, and one-of-a-kind offerings that bring them closer to the magic than ever before.”

Here are details on the show floor experiences:

• The Disney+ Hulu Experience brings streaming to life like never before. The space features a signature 4D theater, exclusive merchandise, a collectible mystery pin quest, and personalized subscription support, alongside immersive photo opportunities inspired by Percy Jackson and the Olympians, FX’s American Horror Story, Camp Rock 3, The Simpsons, Only Murders in the Building, Marvel Television’s VisionQuest, and more.
• Marvel Studios will captivate guests on the show floor with an epic activation entitled Marvel Studios’ TVA Experience: Your Next Assignment. Fans will once again join the Time Variance Authority (TVA) and step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an immersive walkthrough experience across different worlds, both familiar and new.
• The Lucasfilm pavilion will return with an exciting array of photo ops, props, and costumes from current and upcoming stories set in a galaxy far, far away. Guests will also have the opportunity to join fireside chats with the filmmaking teams behind some of their favorite Star Wars shows and movies. Fans can also be among the first to see LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian during a special screening at the Anaheim Convention Center, adding to the incredible Lucasfilm experiences fans will see throughout the event.
• Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios are also joining forces for a must-see animation experience on the show floor, inclusive of a special celebration of Pixar’s 40th anniversary. Artist demonstrations, autograph signings with some top filmmakers, fan giveaways, and interactive displays featuring the latest films from these iconic animation studios—including the upcoming Disney’s Hexed and Disney Animation’s Frozen 3, as well as Disney and Pixar’s Gatto and Incredibles 3—make this pavilion one to visit again and again.
• Mundo Pixar: The D23 Experience, presented by Disney Rewards Visa Cards from Chase, will bring a special preview of its globally touring immersive exhibition to the event, inviting guests to step inside some of their favorite Pixar stories. From unforgettable photo moments to a dedicated merchandise shop, guests will experience life-size sets inspired by some of the studio’s most beloved films.
• Inspired by the beauty of the Avatar films, the Avatar Experience welcomes guests to journey through the fascinating wonders of Pandora. Step into a lush, bioluminescent world, experience an immersive 4D moment, and explore a gallery of film artistry that showcases the craftsmanship behind bringing the Na’vi culture and Pandora to life.
• At select times throughout the day, Bluey and Bingo will be available for photos in The Bluey Movie booth—for real life. Reservations are required for a chance to meet Bluey and Bingo.
• Guests can also celebrate the new Simpsons movie—in theatres on September 3rd, 2027—with fun, shareable photo moments to commemorate D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

That’s not all, there will be plenty of other stands on the show floor featuring many different brands, including Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering and much more.  Plus lots of areas for Disney Park fans, theatre fans and Disney fans in general. 

Roger’s Take: For fans of movies and shows, there are plenty of things to check out on the show floor, in addition to all the different panels going on.  I know personally, I wish at the last D23 event I went to, I spent a little longer on the show floor than going to some of the panels, but having some fun photo experiences at the event will be something you can enjoy for years to come.  

The show floor experiences also give us a small hint at what to expect to be shown off during the main Disney Entertainment Showcase in the Honda Center on Friday evening, as “Hexed”, “Incredibles 3”, “The Simpsons”, “Gatto” and “Frozen 3” all will likely be getting some love and hopefully, some previews for those in attendance and at home.
