The panels, presentations, show floor offerings, and Talent Central interactions for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event have been revealed and they include a first look at X-Men ’97 Season 2 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, a sneak peek of the Inside Out Disney+ series, and so much more.
The sold-out D23 is headed to Anaheim from August 9-11 and will feature over 230 events that guests will be able to enjoy. 55 of those events will be the big panels and presentations that will take place across five stages and will have “behind-the-scenes access, rarely seen treasures, first-look showcases, and highly anticipated reunions.”

The biggest presentations — the Disney Entertainment Showcase, Disney Experiences Showcase, and Disney Legends Awards Ceremony — will be the biggest events of each night and will take place at the Honda Center, but the rest of the panels will happen at the Anaheim Convention Center itself.
Some of the highlights include the Marvel Animation Sneak Peek panel that will present first looks of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Eyes of Wakanda, future season of What If…?, X-Men ’97, and more.
Following the success of Inside Out 2, there will be a panel starring the film’s production designed Jason Deamer as he shares how Pixar brought the new emotions to life. Perhaps most exciting, however, is the “special dreamy sneak peek of an upcoming Pixar series,” which is most likely the rumored “Dream Productions” Disney+ Inside Out 2 spin-off.
You can check out the full schedule right here, but here are some of the biggest panels Disney itself highlighted:

Alongside all the panels and presentations, the show floor will be the biggest in D23’s history and will offer guests a chance to experience interactive and immersive experiences like a look at the world of Disney Imagineering, a Walt Disney Archives vintage car show, the Magic of Disney on Broadway, an Avatar Pavilion that will let guests “discover the captivating culture of the Na’vi, explore the Bioluminescent Forest, and soar through the mountains like a banshee,” a chance to walk through Loki’s Time Variance Authority (TVA), and much more.
This is only the tip of the iceberg that is D23, and you can check out the full list of panels and experiences right here.
If you were able to secure tickets to D23, you’ll be able to enter the “Reservation Random Selection Process” on Monday, July 15, at 12pm PT/3pm ET to try and secure access to the things you most want to do. Reservations are not guaranteed and are random, and those that don’t get what they want will still have a chance with standby queues for “most Anaheim Convention Center panels and experiences.”
