Going to D23: The Ultimate Fan Event this Year? Here is How The Reservation Random Selection Process Works. Not everyone will get the selection they want, but Disney will have standby lines available if you happen to miss our on a reservation for a panel. As always, May the odds be ever in your favor!
The Reservation Random Selection Process (“Reservation RSP”) entry period for all event days for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa will open on Monday, July 15, 2024, at 12 p.m. PT, and conclude on Friday, July 19, 2024 at 12 p.m. PT.
Check out the Showroom Floor and Panels, along with the Talent and Schedule of Events.
How the Reservation RSP Works
The D23 Reservation RSP allows guests to make reservation requests for select panels, presentations, talent signings and show floor experiences at the Anaheim Convention Center in advance of the event.
Reservations will be randomly distributed based on preferences and availability, and starting on August 2 through August 5, reservations will be assigned and then communicated to you via email if you have any confirmed selections. For guests who are not assigned reservations for their preferences, standby queues will be available for most Anaheim Convention Center panels and experiences.
The Reservation RSP is not first come, first served and there is no priority provided to entries based on the date and time they are submitted. You will have until 12 p.m. PT on Friday, July 19, to make your selections before the entry period closes. You can return to the page as often as you would like to review and modify your reservation selections before the entry period closes.
There are three (3) categories in which to make your reservation selections. Each section will allow you to choose up to four (4) items. The more selections you make, the better your chances may be of receiving at least one reservation. For each item you select, you can select to bring up to seven (7) guests. Please note: the number of additional guests must be selected when you request a reservation. Additional guests cannot be added at a later date.
- Stage Presentations: Provides reservations to the confirmed sessions at Premiere Stage presented by Fandango, The Walt Disney Archives Stage, Backlot Stage, and Hyperion Stage.
- Talent Central: Provides reservations for the confirmed talent photos and signings at Talent Central.
- Show Floor Experiences: Provides reservations for talent signings, demonstrations, presentations, and giveaways happening in booths around the Show Floor.
Notes
- Reservations are for the Anaheim Convention Center Event Stages, Talent Central, and most Show Floor Experiences only. Evening shows at the Honda Center are for D23 Ultimate Fan Pass ticket holders only. There are no reservations or stand-by queues available for the Honda Center.
- Children under the age of 18 are unable to make reservations but can accompany an adult with reservations as one of their additional guest(s).
- There may be high demand for select presentations, talent signings and show floor experiences, so consider selecting multiple offerings to increase your odds of getting a confirmed reservation.
- Guests may only be assigned one reservation during a time slot.
- A valid D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event adult badge is required to check in for a reservation.
- If you are picking up your badge(s) at will call, you can still participate in the Reservation RSP with your D23 Member login associated with your badge(s).
- For guests who are not assigned reservations for their preferences, standby queues will be available for most Anaheim Convention Center panels and experiences.
- All reservations are subject to change or cancellation without notice.
If you do not arrive at the location by the time specified prior to your reservation, your place may be filled by a standby guest.
