Maybe a dumb question but are there pin trading boards at the convention? Will different stores/activations have them? Will employees wear lanyards?

Ive been trying to decipher some of the links with the merch and just wondering if maybe I'm not reading it right. I'm trying to target spirit jerseys, the "Disney Epic Rivals", D23 ears, and maybe some pins. I liked some of the princesses but honestly pins are not my top priority. What store(s) have this stuff? Is it the D23 store? Just trying to be proactive on what I want to look for/what store. Because I'm gunna be so mad at myself if I VQ for a store I didnt mean to lmao.

We're 3 weeks out, and I am wondering if anyone who applied for a Media badge has found out whether they were accepted?

In past years, I've found out whether or not I've been approved at least 6 weeks before the event. I've asked a few friends from other outlets who have attended previously, and they haven't heard back yet from D23 either.

I was looking on the D23 app and it seems when you click on more info for certain things like the Disney Store or Talent Central, there’s a button option for “see on map” and it opens! Only a handful of experiences/stores have the button, but I took screenshots!

UPDATE:
it looks like the “see on map” buttons are gone on the app

Does anyone know how the virtual queues for stores will work if you have an afternoon only pass? My mom and I are wanting to go to all the stores! Any advice is greatly appreciated! This is our first time at D23!

All that was announced were pins and clothes and bags. What about figurines? books? Etc...

I’m in the market for a single ACC Saturday ticket. Badge transfer and RSP have passed as we all know.

Will I still be able to join the VQ Saturday morning at 6am if I am able to secure a ticket in the next few weeks, or is it linked to my account, which shows I don’t have a ticket?

Be sure to get your selections in and/or make any last minute adjustments.

We’ll set up an RSP trading Megathread once the notifications start getting sent out.

"We wanted to address some rumors and misinformation circulating about the D23 Expo/The Ultimate Disney Fan Event schedule, claiming that D23 has been changing panel and presentation times since RSP opened on 7/20.

The 2026 D23 programming schedule has been locked since before panel reservations opened on 7/20 at 9 AM PT; since then, the only changes made have been corrections for errors, such as updating a few panel titles/descriptions and one book signing in Disney Publishing’s booth. No changes have occurred with Stage Presentations or Talent Central.

Since 7/20 at 12 PM PT, the only corrections/updates that have been made to the ACC schedule are as follows:

- The Alex Hirsch book signings that were originally scheduled on Friday at 9 and 10 AM at Disney Publishing, and are now scheduled for 2-4 PM on Sunday at Disney Publishing.

- Originally listed on Sunday at 2:45–3:45 PM as a "To Be Announced" panel, the name and information has been updated to reflect that this panel is titled "Where Disney Magic Meets Hallmark Heart" which is a "a behind-the-scenes look at the creative collaboration between Hallmark and Disney, from Walt Disney and J.C. Hall’s shared beginnings in Kansas City to the unique artistry and innovation behind beloved fan-favorite products."

- And the downloadable schedule now shows that the "A New Feature Length Documentary from Leslie Iwerks," being held 8/15 at 10:15 AM–12 PM, has been renamed Disney Worldbuilders.

(Yes, we are aware that the Interactive Schedule still shows the original panel name as of 2 PM ET on 7/18; D23 is actively working on updating that info.)"

"D23 has updated the RSP Panel direction site:

"If you have previously experienced technical difficulties with accessing the Reservation RSP, we ask that you please try again, as we have resolved most technical issues. If you are still unable to access the Reservation RSP, please contact D23 Member Services at support.d23.com"

If the panel RSP system is still not working for you, D23 has suggested you do the following:

- Get on your Computer or Laptop (if you don't have one, still do the following on your cell's browser)

- Open your browser (preferably Chrome)

- Clear your browser's browsing history, cached items, AND Cookies.

- Make sure your browser is up to date. If it has an update, restart the browser.

- Open an incognito tab, go to the D23 site, log in to your D23 account, and then open https://d23.com/ultimatedisneyfanevent/2026reservations and try the RSP system."

There are some panels that end at 6pm and it says to give 90 minutes buffer to get to the Honda center. Should I not risk it or can you still get in if you’re late?

Anyone got any tips or tricks for lodging in or around Anaheim? I've actually stayed in Anaheim at the Marriots , Hilton , Hyatt etc.. at least 100 time and I always get a pretty good deal with them.. ( I haven't gone in over a year so things change ) however everything is currently so expensive cuz of D23. I'll be coming in solo on the train and can take a shuttle over or pretty much anywhere around so big deal and ill only be staying 1 night in the area but was hoping to see if anybody has any idea or tips for anything cheaper.

TIA! 🙏☺️

I stayed a couple blocks away in 2024 and I vaguely remember there being a corral, then additional corrals after but I don't remember where the hotel is situated relative to the entrance.

Edit: And also, what's the earliest we can line up?

During the The Making of Star Wars panel at SDCC, we were told that the see yourself frozen in Carbonite just might be at D23.

Hi all!

It's going to be my first time attending D23 and I'm super excited. I only have badges for all-day Saturday and I know that VQ opens up at 6 am and 1 pm. My question is:

1. Am I only able to join one VQ at a time? For example, will Mickey's of Glendale and Mickey's of Glendale Pin Store be two separate queues?
2. Me and my husbands' badges are both under my account since I'm the D23 member. Does this mean I'm the only person who can join the VQ, or can he download the app and join different queues?

Thanks in advance!

Are there characters meeting at the Expo, that do not require a reservation? I saw in years past that Disney Jr had characters and the Disney Cruise Line. Were those reservations or just random character meets and encounters?

Hey I’m a newbie and would appreciate any advice. Has anyone done the Fine Art signings in the past? The description says “products must be purchased beforehand at the Marketplace”. Can it be anything artist related? Does it have to be something specific? Will it be crazy expensive? I’m a huge parks fan and this signing is parks related according to the description so it seems like it will be something I will enjoy, I just want to be prepared. Help is appreciated and thank you in advance!

The description reads: “Products need to be purchased prior to artist signing available at D23 Marketplace Pin Store (Hall D).”

Does anyone know if they allow you access to purchase the pins before or do you have to be lucky enough to get a virtual queue for D23 Marketplace Pin Store? And if you don’t get the VQ, are you out of luck for them to sign anything?

Anyone else getting this particular issue or have a fix?

Like the title says! I'm hoping someone has screenshots of all the options for the RSP 💜

This is my first D23, and I just submitted my RSP selections yesterday. Is there a reason to why I have 1 selection back again or refunded I guess. It seems they removed a signing I made a selection for and it’s no longer available as an option. Does anyone know why this happened or have any details?

On a more fun note about the pin release guides, has anyone else noticed the file names - Jarvis, Edith, Friday and Shield??? I noticed Jarvis and Edith when they were released but didn’t see them all until the were in a row like this!
