The next D23 Spotlight Series event is all about Adventureland. Tickets go on sale this Friday and all attendees will get a Trader Sam’s 15th anniversary pin.

D23 Spotlight Series: Walt Disney’s Enchanted Adventureland

D23 Spotlight Series: Walt Disney’s Enchanted Adventureland will be on March 28, 2026, at Disney’s Glendale Creative Campus. Tickets include a panel with Walt Disney Archives staff, a Trader Sam’s presentation, the limited release pin, custom event credential, and the opportunity to shop at Mickey’s of Glendale.

The pin features a zombie tiki mug and barrel tiki mug.

The event invites D23 Members to “cast off on a guided journey tracing Walt Disney’s global travels that inspired the beloved attractions of Adventureland!” Walt Disney Archives staff will lead guests “on a journey to discover how Walt’s curiosity and love for travel led to the creation of classic attractions such as the Jungle Cruise and Walt Disney’s The Enchanted Tiki Room.”

Then, Imagineer Kyle Barnes will talk about how Adventureland inspired the design and creation of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. There will be an on-stage Trader Sam’s mixology demonstration.
