LOS ANGELES -- Disney's D23 Expo is coming back in 2022! Here's a roundup of what we know about the Expo, which is billed as Disney's "ultimate fan event."
D23 Expo is The Walt Disney Company's biennial fan convention. It features panel discussions and presentations that often contain first looks and major announcements tied to Disney's universe of films, television series, theme parks, consumer products and more. The weekend is packed with cosplay and shopping opportunities and other in-person experiences for Disney aficionados. Disney also uses the Expo to induct its class of Disney Legends, a lifetime achievement-style award.
Disney is expected to release more information about this year's D23 Expo events and programming closer to September. Here's what we know so far:
More information about this year's D23 Expo is available on the D23 website.
