Overview
- BoxLunch confirmed an immersive 'BoxLunch Under The Bigtop' booth that will sell jackets, bags and franchise-spanning exclusives and will release a new one‑day-only interactive pin each day of D23.
- Disney has rolled out official product previews that include the Disney Icons plush line and the Small Kingdoms light-up figures, both scheduled to debut at the show.
- D23 runs Aug. 14–16 in Anaheim and organizers plan to use app-based virtual queues, a Reservation Selection Process and timed pickups to allocate high-demand items and limit crowding.
- Smaller independent vendors have been moved offsite while corporate partners expand on the show floor, a change that centralizes inventory with major brands and has generated pushback from some sellers.
- Attendees should expect cashless mobile checkout, timed product drops and long lines for single-day exclusives which will shape collector behavior and influence how fans plan arrival times and reservations.
