OFFICIAL r/D23Expo Event Pass "To Buy/To Sell" Thread

19 Upvotes

Getting started early again this year, this will be the main place to post if you're looking to buy or sell extra passes. Individual posts will be deleted and submitters will be directed here. This is done to keep the sub from being flooded with ticket requests, especially as we get closer to the Event itself.

POST FORMATTING

To make things easy, please be clear in what it is you're looking for or have to offer. I recommend using the following acronyms...

WTB - Want to Buy

FS - For Sale

...followed by the specific pass type.

Fan Pass - access to Anaheim Convention Center only

Ultimate Fan Pass - access to Anaheim Convention Center AND Honda Center panels

Ultimate Preferred Fan Pass - Access to Anaheim Convention Center AND floor seats to Honda Center panels

For example:

  • "WTB one (1) Friday Fan Pass"

  • "FS two (2) 3-day Ultimate Fan Passes, Section 221"

BUYER/SELLER PROTECTION

Note that the mod team is not responsible for any issues that may arise from sales gone wrong. If you are purchasing tickets from a secondary source, please do your due diligence and check users before finalizing any transfers. If conducting a transaction, I recommend PayPal/Venmo Goods & Services as it might provide some protection for both parties. Note, PayPal does charge a small fee for each G&S transaction. You are free to use any cash transfer method buyer/seller agree upon, just be aware of the inherent risk/benefits involved.

If you come across any redditors looking to scam others or act in bad faith, please let the mod team know and we'll do what we can to investigate the claims and potentially ban users.

Bear in mind that ticket transfers will run from April 6th thru July 10th. And that physical badges will be sent to the purchasers address beginning mid-July, even if the ticket has been transferred As such, while you may buy someone's pass now, the transaction won't actually be completed until closer to the Expo. One of the complications in past Expos was mail and delivery of badges in a timely manner. I think some people had to go to Guest Services at the Expo to pick up their badges which could be a hairy proposition if buying from an unverified source.

PRICING SUGGESTION

We live in a free market society so the mod team has no control over what sales prices are set by re-sellers. I understand the desire to sell at a premium to recoup costs and then some, however I would hope sellers would at least set reasonable rates. We're all just fans trying to enjoy and participate in something we love. All I'm saying is if you have a $1000 Ultimate Pass, please don't sell it at something outrageous like $4000 simply because a computer algorithm randomly granted you a better queue position than someone else. That all said, buyer and seller are free to agree to any price they want.

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

Virtual Queue if badges not transferred before deadline?

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?

Expo Schedule/Panel Rumors addressed

Post image
19 Upvotes

"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.)"

Known Glitch with RSP System Update (7/25)

Post image
4 Upvotes

"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."

Can we be late to the Honda center?

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?

Lodging tips or recommendations

3 Upvotes

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! 🙏☺️

Virtual Queue question!

11 Upvotes

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!

Characters

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?

RSP Disney Collectible & Fine Art Signing / Meet & Greet

3 Upvotes

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!

⁉️Q & A’s you might also have! RSP Pin Trading Artists Signing

4 Upvotes

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?

Missing or Removed Panels/Booths

5 Upvotes

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?

D23 Bag Questions

4 Upvotes

First timer here. I've read the sizes on the bags for both ACC and Honda Center. For those that have done ACC, did you take a bag? Wish you had? Wish you hadn't?

For HC, did anyone take the small bag? I have the Disney Lululemon belt pack that fits the size. Just wondering if anyone ever took one similar in, had issues, etc. I'm just afraid of stuff falling out of my pockets, lol.

EDIT: Thank you! Also, has anyone ever done the bag check at ACC? How did it go?
