News D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026 in Anaheim

[BrianLo]

Judging by your profile photo it’s clear…. The force is with you. Impressive!!!!

I’ve had a ton of luck with the D23. Generally I’m lucky but less so with a couple run Disney / one DVC moonlight magic thing.

I know it doesn’t matter when you enter, but it always seems to be my phone that wins the lottery and I have entered the queue space the day before both times.

Best of luck to those of you still in queue!

I’m about half-way through right now…. I hope I don’t get tangled up when they open up the free memberships. :-/

Oh well… it’s Disney! Part of the…. Fun? Lol

Those will for sure get queued behind you I’d hope!

Well, I'm f****d. Tried to buy tickets. 3 day was sold out. Tried to buy individual day passes. It decided I took too long & put me back in the beginning of the line. I hate this

All 3 day passes are sold out? :-(

That's what it said when I got to the ticketing page. Maybe they held some back for the 12pm bracket?

Same. Rather, I'm in the queue again >_<

My husband was able to secure us tickets. We wanted 3 day tickets no Honda center. He had to buy each day individually but I guess we are for sure going now.

 

[Salted Nut Roll]

I made it! Had to buy each separately as well, but I'm in!

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

same! Also it wouldn’t accept the $25 coupon.

I saw a couple of 400 seats open up but they would go instantly before I could click. Oh well - it’s just the parks presentation I cared about.

 

[BrianLo]

Glad you guys could all secure something!

There’s a small advantage with the single day tickets in that if there are any give aways or one time badge events you can redo them serially each day if you want.

Got thru being 13,578 in line, didn't realize how lucky I was in the moment compared to most! Gonna have a blast on this solo trip, going Friday and Saturday, plus a couple Disneyland days Sunday Monday

I didn’t even think about the give away aspect of having three one day passes. While I am a bit disappointed that I selected seats in the upper 400 section, I am happy that we will be there again.

Now that I've had some time to reflect, I will say that I appreciate how fast everything went this year. I remember waiting 4 and a half hours in the queue last time. This year, it was only an hour to get through the first time, and about 50 minutes when I got kicked off and had to restart. So while it was extremely stressful, at least it seemed to be more efficient.
Maybe next time they can work on having more 3-day passes available!

It doesn’t really make sense that you could still buy all 3 single days but hey… it’s $20 worth of extra processing fees. Mickey needs the money

Did you get into Honda at all?

Everything did seem to be smoother this year. Then again, I wasn’t at work trying to avoid being caught trying to get tickets.

I just checked for fun…. Still 3-day fan passes for $2300 and up with floor seating.

Saturday arena and convention center is sold out.

Friday and Sunday all day passes still available.

Afternoon passes available for all 3 days

That's closer to the 2019 experience I had. I did not buy tickets until weeks after they went on sale stupidly thinking they never sold out, but I still bought Friday/Sunday.

They did dramatically increase the sheer number of premium seats at the top end of the chart, so I guess not terribly surprised to see that did not go as fast, which means *ahem* I really didn't need to worry about where I was in line.

They could probably do with raising the pricing of the bottom tiers a bit more next time. Which I know is not terribly consumer forward, but I think this event is frankly too good of a deal compared to their after hours parties.
