Overview
- Disney published the complete day‑by‑day D23 program for August 14–16, 2026, covering five convention stages and three Honda Center evening showcases after several weeks of build‑up.
- Neil Patrick Harris will host the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the Honda Center on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 p.m. PT with a Carousel of Progress‑inspired format that centers conversations with Imagineers and creative leads.
- A DEEP DIVE into KINGDOM HEARTS is set for August 15 at 4:30 p.m. PT to mark the series’ 25th anniversary and will feature creative team members and voice cast, though any specific game announcements remain unconfirmed in the published schedule.
- Disney published ticketing rules and logistics for attendees, announcing the Reservation Selection Process opens July 20 at 12:00 p.m. PT and closes July 24 at 12:00 p.m. PT, confirmed reservations will be emailed from August 7, and Honda Center shows are limited to higher‑tier pass holders with no standby queues.
- Reporters frame this year’s Horizons presentation as likely to focus on progress reports for the slate announced at D23 2024 rather than a flood of new concept reveals, and the full program pairs marquee panels with expanded on‑site commerce such as exclusive merchandise and a Disney Experiences auction that will shape fan access and spending.
