D23 is going global in a big way. Disney has released the first programming details for D23 Asia 2027, officially called D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. It runs June 25 to 27, 2027, at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and it’s the first time the fan event is coming to Singapore.
The lineup looks a lot like the D23 events fans know from Anaheim: a big convention floor, nightly showcases, character meet-and-greets, panels, and exclusive merchandise. But there’s also a clear Asia Pacific focus, including Korean and Japanese series on the Disney+ showcase night.
Tickets go on sale at the end of November 2026. Here’s everything announced so far.
Quick Summary
- D23 Asia 2027 runs June 25 to 27, 2027, at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
- Each night has a Premiere Stage showcase: Studio Showcase, Disney+ Showcase, and a Disney Hits LIVE! concert finale
- The convention floor covers Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney+, Hulu, and Walt Disney Animation Studios
- There are more than 15 immersive experiences, plus three stages for panels, meet-and-greets, and live entertainment
- Exclusive merchandise includes items normally sold only at Disney’s employee stores, offered to the public in Asia Pacific for the first time
- Tickets go on sale at the end of November 2026, and pricing hasn’t been announced
D23 Asia 2027 Premiere Stage Schedule
The Premiere Stage hosts one big evening showcase each night. Disney says each will include exclusive reveals, celebrity appearances, and live entertainment.
June 25: Studio Showcase
Opening night is the one movie fans will want to circle:
- Exclusive announcements from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more
- Never-before-seen footage
- Surprise celebrity appearances and live performances
June 26: Disney+ Showcase
Night two focuses on streaming, with a strong regional angle:
- Upcoming Korean and Japanese series
- New and returning global streaming titles, including US series
- Appearances by Asian creators and celebrities
This is the showcase that sets D23 Asia apart. Disney+ has leaned into Korean and Japanese content in the region, and this night gives those shows a major stage.
June 27: Disney Hits LIVE! at D23 Asia
The event wraps up with a concert finale:
- Disney and Pixar songs performed by Broadway singers with a live band
- Rock concert lighting and large-scale animation
- A closing celebration for the whole event
The D23 Asia Convention Floor
During the day, the convention floor covers Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney+, Hulu, and Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Disney promises more than 15 immersive experiences, each built around a different franchise or story, along with interactive activations and themed areas. Expect the kind of walk-through sets and photo-worthy displays that have become a big part of D23 in the US.
Stages for Panels, Characters, and Fans
Three areas focus on meeting talent and connecting with other fans:
- Storytellers Stage: Panels and presentations with the creators and talent behind Disney films, series, and experiences
- Talent Central: Character meet-and-greets and special talent appearances across all three days
- Spotlight Stage: Live entertainment, interactive activities, and fan-focused programming
Talent Central runs all three days, so you won’t have to cram every character photo into a single day.
D23 Asia Exclusive Merchandise
Merchandise is always a huge draw at D23, and D23 Asia will sell limited-edition items you can only get at the event.
- D23 Marketplace: The main shopping hub, with collectibles, apparel, and accessories
- The Walt Disney Company Store: D23 Asia-themed collections, plus select items normally sold only at Disney’s employee stores
That second one is the big news for collectors. Disney says this is the first time those employee store items will be available to the public in Asia Pacific. The event will also include retail offerings from across the Asia Pacific region.
If you’ve ever waited in a D23 merchandise line in Anaheim, plan on lines here too, especially on opening day.
What Disney Is Saying
Carol Choi, Executive Vice President of The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific and incoming APAC President, said Disney is “creating an ultimate fan event specifically for Asia.”
That’s the key takeaway. D23 Asia isn’t simply a copy of the US event moved overseas. The Disney+ showcase and the regional retail are built around fans in Asia Pacific.

Should US Fans Make the Trip?
For most Disney fans in the US, D23 Asia is a big commitment: a long international flight, a passport, and hotel nights in one of Asia’s pricier cities. A few things to weigh:
- The Studio Showcase will likely include major announcements, but big film news is usually shared online the same night, so you won’t miss the reveals by staying home.
- The Disney+ Showcase is a must if you love Korean and Japanese series.
- Merchandise is the strongest reason to go in person. Event-exclusive items and employee store collections are hard to get any other way.
- Singapore is hot and humid year-round, so pack light clothing and plan indoor breaks between convention floor sessions.
- Marina Bay Sands has its own hotel, which could make it easy to get to and from the event floor each day.
If you’re already planning a trip to Asia, or you’re a collector chasing exclusives, D23 Asia could be worth building a vacation around. If you mostly care about announcements, you can follow along from home.
