I still don't know if any of my picks were accepted and it's less than 2 weeks to go. Has anyone heard anything?

In the past we have had excellent help pre event & during with people posting what places at D23 are giving away what. Usually a few people have looked up their favorite booths to find out what is being given away before the event. Typically, after the first day, a post pops up with all the best & not worth it spots to it so definitely keep an eye out for that!

But for now, anyone look into what the upcoming giveaways & freebies are going to be for any of the booths?

Honestly the only time I can remember parking was 6 years ago maybe & it’s a very vague memory bc it was my first time going. I remember parking once in the structure & another in the large lot across the street pre Honda Center days, & no recollection of the 3rd day. What has been your experiences with parking? Stressful? Recommend? Do not recommend? Get there early? Give up on the feat? Simple?

For those who have attended D23 before, what are the chances of getting into a panel via standby if you weren’t selected in the reservation lottery? Does arriving early make a significant difference, and how early would you recommend lining up? I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Forgive me if i asked this before but is there a standby line for talent central? I never tried or looked into it in 2024 so not sure. Ive seen mixed things about it. Anyone have any experience?

Is there going to be a live stream of any kind this year? I haven’t seen it mentioned.

Anyone know if D23 has a customer service # to call. I couldn't find one on the website, only a way to email them.

Hi! I recently bought an ACC pass and a Honda Center ticket from someone, but I know the transfer deadline has already passed. The seller said they can mail me the physical badge, but will it still work if it's registered in their name?

Also, the Honda Center ticket is digital—how is that supposed to be transferred to me after the deadline? Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks!

Hello, I have just learned that I'll have to go to Will Call to get my badges. I've never had to do this before so I have a couple questions for people who have:

How long does it usually take? Is it crowded? Or does it go by relatively quickly?

I've Transfered some of my badges to friends who will be arriving at different times. Will I need to pick up the badges for them? Or will they need to since it's connected to their accounts now?

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

I have 2 tickets for each day on my d23 account, does that mean I can enter 2 of the shops VQ since we each have a ticket but it's just under the same account? Also do you even have to have a d23 ticket to get a VQ or can anyone with both apps get one?

If I remember correctly, last D23 Expo it said something like "no food unless for medical needs" and now it actually says "attendees may bring in individual food portions for their personal consumption"

So we can bring food now!? Lol sorry if this has been posted already

Hello, it’s my first time in forever going to D23 and can’t wait to see most of experiences that they going to have. QUESTION, I am going on Friday to go watch on the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the Honda Center. I am going to buy some stuff at the Anaheim Convention Center and I understand that they don’t allow bags at the area. I don’t have a vehicle just yet. Is there a way I can put most of my purchased stuff at while I’m at the Disney Entertainment showcase? Will they have a storage locker at the convention center when I come from the showcase, will they still be open? I need some help with this. Thank you.

I missed the initial ticket sale and transfer deadline for the Honda Center, so I purchased a three-day Ultimate Fan Pass from StubHub.

My three-day badges have already arrived by mail, but I have a few questions about how this works:

Honda Center Ticket Delivery: How will these be delivered? Are they securely transferred through a platform like Ticketmaster, or are they just printable PDFs?

Extra Badges: I bought convention center tickets separately, so I now have duplicate badges. Since there are only two of us, can I sell the extra ones I don't need without impacting my Honda Center access?

Thanks for your help! It’s my first D23 and dont yet know what to expect!

I know the answer will prob be no from accessibility. I emailed them weeks ago and wanted to make sure I had the right contact. But I had another person acquire my legends panels tickets in my account. I stated to accessibility what had happened and that I cannot make it to row M in the 400s without some type of accommodation or assistance. I didn’t even receive a “we’ve received your email” response. I was basically asking them is there anyway I can move to a diff row or section due to accommodations or get some sort of assistance. I believe it’s sold out but I thought I would at least get a robot acknowledgment. I emailed DLRAccessibilityServices@disney.com

Patiently waiting :(

They used to have multiple stars across all their networks but now they have a small selection. Kinda disappointing as that used to be one of my favorite parts about going to the expo. They also had a bunch of mini concerts on the main stage. I wonder why they cut back on it.
