780x463-expo-2017-announceIt was announced today that D23 Expo 2017 will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center the weekend of July 14 – 16.

This marks the 5th year in a row that the Anaheim Convention Center will host the expo, which started back in 2009.

The expo allows fans to “celebrate” what’s new and what’s on the horizon from theme parks, television, music, gaming, and films, including Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel.

Highlights planned for D23 Expo 2017 include the Disney Legends Ceremony, which honors the talented men and women who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy; an all-new exhibit curated by the Walt Disney Archives; D23 Expo’s costume contest, Mousequerade, showcasing the most creative designs by fans; the D23 Expo Emporium, where Disney fans can buy, sell, and trade Disney collectibles, memorabilia, merchandise, and more; and the D23 Expo 2017 Design Challenge.

The D23 Expo 2017 will feature a massive show floor full of immersive experiences and special opportunities to see what’s next for Disney around the world—and guests may run into their favorite Disney stars, characters, Imagineers, animators, and filmmakers. StagePass, the popular ticket distribution system that allows attendees to obtain guaranteed seats for some of Expo’s most popular presentations, and StorePass, which allows priority entry to select shopping venues at the event, will once again enhance the guest experience. Hall D23, the popular presentation and performance venue featuring more than 7,000 seats, will return, as will Stage 23, Stage 28, and Center Stage.

Advance tickets for D23 Expo 2017 will go on sale at D23Expo.com beginning July 14, 2016. Ticket prices will be announced this summer.
