Overview
- Disney confirmed on Aug. 12 that Neil Patrick Harris will host the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at the Honda Center on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 p.m. PT.
- For the first time the Horizons panel will be broadcast live on Disney+ so fans who are not on site can watch the Imagineering presentations and updates in real time.
- Disney says the showcase is meant to offer a “peek behind the curtain” with Imagineers presenting progress reports, artwork, and details on attraction projects rather than primarily unveiling a slate of new mega‑lands.
- The Honda Center lineup for D23 includes the Disney Entertainment Showcase on Aug. 14, Horizons on Aug. 15, and the Disney Legends Ceremony on Aug. 16, with several other panels also slated to stream on Disney+.
- Disney has managed heavy on‑site demand with reservations, limited Honda Center seating that favors higher‑tier passholders, and curated fan activations, and the live streaming is intended to extend access and connect parks announcements to Disney+ viewers.
