D23 2026 Pass Types and Prices

There are six different pass options this year, including a brand-new budget-friendly entry point. Here’s the full breakdown:

D23 Ultimate Preferred Fan Pass (3-Day) — from $1,299

The premium option. You get a reserved floor seat at the Honda Center for all three days (same seat each day) plus full 3-day access to the Anaheim Convention Center. New for 2026: this pass includes special RSP access to select limited-edition pin releases at the event. If you want the full D23 experience with the best seats in the house, this is it.

D23 Ultimate Fan Pass (3-Day) — from $297

Includes a reserved seat at the Honda Center for all three days (same seat each day) plus 3-day access to the Anaheim Convention Center. A great all-in option for dedicated fans who want to catch all three Honda Center showcases.

D23 Ultimate Fan Pass (Single Day) — from $99

Pick your day — Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. You get one reserved seat for the evening Honda Center presentation on your chosen day, plus same-day access to all experiences and shopping at the Anaheim Convention Center.

D23 Fan Pass (3-Day) — $297

Three full days at the Anaheim Convention Center only. No Honda Center access with this pass, but you’ll have plenty to do across all three days at the convention.

D23 Fan Pass (Single Day) — $99

One day at the Anaheim Convention Center only. A solid option if you just want to pop in for one day of shopping, meet-and-greets, and exhibits.

D23 Fan Pass — Afternoon Only (NEW) — $49

This is brand new for 2026 and it’s a great option for those on a tighter budget or who just want to experience the convention vibe. Entry starts at 4pm on your chosen day (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). Just note: Afternoon Only ticket holders are not eligible for initial RSP reservation selection for panels and experiences.

What’s Happening at the Honda Center?

The Honda Center will host three major showcase events, one per night — but only Ultimate Fan Pass and Ultimate Preferred Fan Pass holders have access:

• Friday, August 14 — Disney Entertainment Showcase
• Saturday, August 15 — Disney Experiences Showcase
• Sunday, August 16 — Disney Legends Ceremony (hosted by Ryan Seacrest)

The D23 Fan Pass covers the Anaheim Convention Center only — no Honda Center access.

What If Tickets Sell Out?

If passes sell out, a waitlist will open for a limited time. A few things to know: submissions are placed in random order (so submitting early doesn’t give you an advantage), and those selected will be notified by May 15 via email and phone. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee tickets, so your best bet is to be ready on April 2.

D23 2026 runs August 14–16 at the Anaheim Convention Center and Honda Center. We’ll be keeping a close eye on all the latest announcements — stay tuned to DisMornings for everything you need to plan your trip.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
