Disney Just Added More Exclusive Events For D23 Members

If you’re even thinking about D23 in 2026, now is the time to start paying attention.

Disney has officially started pulling back the curtain on select D23 events for 2026, and what’s been announced so far already feels like a preview of something much bigger! From rare behind-the-scenes opportunities to large-scale fan celebrations, these early reveals are the kind of experiences Disney fans build trips around. And with tickets already on sale for some events, the 2026 planning season has quietly begun.

If you’re the kind of Disney fan who plans vacations around events, announcements, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, you’ll want to keep 2026 firmly on your radar because D23 is already shaping up to be a big year.

Disney has begun rolling out confirmed D23 events for 2026, and while this is just the beginning, what’s been announced so far gives us plenty to be excited about. From behind-the-scenes studio peaks to live theater and major fan celebrations, D23 members have some truly special experiences to look forward to.

In March, Disney is bringing back The Official Walt Disney Studios Walking Tour, running March 2nd through March 31st in Burbank, California. This fan-favorite experience offers a rare look behind the gates of the iconic Walt Disney Studios, complete with history, storytelling, and plenty of Disney nostalgia. If this tour has been on your bucket list, tickets are already on sale (and historically, they don’t last long!)

You’ll need to sign in and verify your D23 membership to be eligible to purchase tickets, which start around $162 per person. D23 General and Gold Members may reserve a ticket for themselves and up to three (3) guests for this event. It’s also worth mentioning that this tour is designed with a digital companion option for ages 13 and older, which will require each individual with a compatible mobile device (those younger than 13 will not be able to participate with the digital portion of the tour).

In April, D23 heads to the East Coast with D23 Night at Beauty and the Beast — The Musical on April 26th in Boston, Massachusetts. This special event blends Broadway magic with Disney fandom, giving members the chance to experience one of Disney’s most beloved stories in a live theatrical setting. It’s a perfect example of how D23 continues to expand beyond the Disney parks and into unforgettable cultural experiences.

Then comes August, which is shaping up to be the biggest month of all for Disney fans! First up is D23 Day at Angel Stadium on August 12th in Anaheim, California. Get ready for a fun-filled celebration at the ballpark that combines baseball, Disney surprises, and exclusive perks for members.

Tickets for this event start around $29 and are also already available, making it a great early addition to your 2026 plans!

Just days later, the spotlight turns to the main event, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, taking place August 14th – 16th in Anaheim. While details are still under wraps, this is the marquee D23 experience fans wait years for — packed with announcements, panels, exhibits, and unforgettable moments across Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more.

And the best part? This is almost certainly not the full list. If 2026 follows previous years, we can expect additional events, surprises, and ticketed experiences to be announced as the year approaches.

If you’ve been thinking about joining D23 (or finally using your membership to its fullest), now is the perfect time to start planning. Don’t go anywhere — we’re bringing you along with us throughout the year, celebrating all things D23! Stay tuned with us at AllEars for the latest in Disney news, changes, updates, and more.
