D23, The Official Disney Fan Club, has announced the event dates for the next D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, taking place in 2026.

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026

The next D23 event will take place from August 14-16, 2026 in Anaheim, California. Like D23 in 2024, the event will once again be held at both the Anaheim Convention Center and the Honda Center.

The announcement was first shared by Michael Vargo, head of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, at the kickoff for Destination D23 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

New for next year, Disney Legend Jodi Benson will be the first official D23 FAN-bassador, who will engage with fans and make appearances with D23 throughout the year leading up to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2026.

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event offres fans from around the globe a chance to experience the very best in storytelling and innovation in a way that only Disney can deliver.

We are already hard at work dreaming up ways to continue raising the bar for Disney fans next year when we return to Anaheim, and we can’t wait to bring them a truly unforgettable event.
