Updating this information as D23 has added more details on ticket transfers: NOTE: Tickets purchased from any other sources may not be valid. D23 is not able to honor, replace or refund invalid tickets. D23 will provide an official opportunity to transfer tickets to other guests prior to the Event, however the recipient email must be associated with a valid D23 Member account to claim the transferred ticket. When the ticket transfer process opens, D23 will be the only ticket service that is able to authenticate that a D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event ticket is valid. Other resellers may offer money-back guarantees, but they are unable to guarantee entry to the Event as they are not able to validate that a ticket or seat location is authentic. We encourage guests to report fraudulent ticket sales to the point of purchase and consumer protection agencies.

https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/202404/10139/ “Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro confirmed Disney's plans during a presentation to invited reporters at Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale, California on Tuesday afternoon. (I was held to an embargo not to reveal that information until now.) The two projects will be an expansion of the Magic Kingdom on the park's west side and the expansion and conversion of Disney's Animal Kingdom's Dinoland USA into a Tropical Americas land…There are, as yet, no dates for either project, though Disney sources have said that more details will be announced at the sold-out D23 fan event at Anaheim's Honda Center in August.”

I've gone to every Expo. :) I don't go to the panels because the interesting ones have lines that are too long. I really do go for the floor - shopping, displays, giveaways, seeing what people are wearing. :) I'm just annoyed at the price point to have to do so. I'm not sure it's worth it for me and may eventually find another home for the ticket if I decide not to use it. Or I'll give in to the FOMO and go even though it's not worth what I paid for what I do there.

I remember walking around the convention floor like a zombie because I was so tired from waiting for the Hall D23 panels. While we were waiting in the “unofficial line” for the parks presentation in 2022, my sister sent me back to the hotel for a couple of hours so I could get some rest. I ended up falling asleep very hard and she was trying to reach me multiple times. I felt so bad but I was very exhausted. We stumbled into one of the Imagineering panels in 2022 and it ended up being one of our favorites!

I'm very much looking forward to experiencing other aspects of the convention this year, more fully. I feel like all the energy had to go into the main panel attendance in the past. Not like I didn't wander around the convention, but there was very little energy left to attend the smaller panels after 8 hour commitments to the Hall D23 panels.

Absolutely! Your ticket gets you into all the panels at the convention center. I don't care about the big news panels. It's stuff I'll find out later, anyway. There are plenty of other fun panels. In 2019, I got to go to the Disney on Broadway panel and watch Broadway actors perform musical numbers from various Disney Broadway shows live. Another panel focused on voice acting and featured most of the Disney princesses actors, plus Jim Cummings (the voice of my childhood!) and others, all discussing their experiences. I don't know how hard it's going to be to get into some of the panels this year. It was pretty brutal even in 2019. But there are a ton of them, so you'll probably at least get into a couple. Also, the show floor itself has a lot of different experiences. There's usually an exhibit put on by the Disney archives. One year it was a walk-through Pirates of the Caribbean museum, with a bunch of props and concept sketches from both the ride and the films. Another year it was a museum devoted to costumes from movies through the years. And there are various other activities and presentations, so there's definitely more to do than just shop (Though they have that, too! 😆)

Probably a few factors. I think the event is bigger than it has been. The pandemic was still somewhat forefront in Jan 2022 when tickets were last sold (as in a segment wouldn’t have thought the indoor crowds of the convention were their jam). The tickets sales turnaround to the event is much shorter (by three months). The event this year is also in the summer when schools are out. But perhaps biggest of all is these tickets can be scalped this year.

Remember that you will have access to the panels that are held at the convention center. While they aren’t the big ones, they can still be quite good!

It's more local FOMO, I think. :) That's why I caved and got a ticket for one day when the day I actually wanted sold out before I got through the line. Spent $112 just to hang out on the stupid shopping floor, no panels. :( I may yet decide not to go at all, but at least I have the option if I choose. Only a certain percentage goes for park info. Plenty go for movies, shopping, cosplay, community, etc.

Thanks I checked and it really isn’t that much. Originally thought it was a lot more but then forgot I added genie. Figured I’m only going two days (at least so far) might as well make it easy on myself.

Indy_UKMar 30, 2024

WOW, I didn't expect it to completely sell put that quickly. Do you think its really over peoples excitement that Disney are going to announce a lot of investment at the show?

vikescaperMar 30, 2024

There isn’t that much of a discount. I compared a one day, one park pass at the regular price vs discounted and the discount is $9. A two day, two park ticket is about a $20 difference.
