Overview
- Disney published the complete three-day D23 program on July 13, listing Honda Center headliners, multi-stage panels, concerts, milestone celebrations, on-site retail and a verified auction.
- Neil Patrick Harris will host Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the Honda Center on Saturday, August 15, with Imagineeers and creative contributors guiding a theatrical, Carousel of Progress–inspired presentation.
- A Deep Dive into KINGDOM HEARTS is scheduled for August 15 at D23’s Backlot Stage with creative leads and voice talent, but coverage frames it as mainly a 25th‑anniversary retrospective with only a small chance of substantive Kingdom Hearts IV reveals.
- D23 will use a Reservation Selection Process for popular sessions that opens July 20 and closes July 24, with confirmed reservations emailed starting August 7, and limited Honda Center seats mean many fans will need the highest‑tier passes or rely on standby.
- Organizers expanded fan offerings across the convention, with official cosplay meet‑ups, live recordings, anniversary panels, merchandise exclusives, and a live and online Disney Experiences Auction, while reporting suggests the parks showcase will deliver concrete updates like ride names, animatronics details, and opening timelines for 2024 projects.
