The 2024 D23 Expo has changed its name to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and we’ve been learning more about this year’s event, which will be, dare we say…ULTIMATE?
This event is the biggest Disney fan event of the year and will include special exhibits, exclusive merchandise, presentations, and more. However, this year’s event is expanding to include a NEW venue for the evening panels, the Honda Center (otherwise known as the home of the Anaheim Ducks). If you’re buying tickets to The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, you might want to know where the good seats are.
When you buy your ticket, you’ll be able to select your seats for the presentations at the Honda Center. So the first thing we’re going to show you is the seating chart at the venue. As you can see, the absolute best seats are those in the 101-106 sections — right up front and center stage.
However, it’s likely those seats are probably going to go the fastest, so you’ll next want to try for those seats in the 205-225 sections, 304-323 sections, or the 408-437 sections. Now the 400 section might be the nosebleed seats, but at least they have a good, straight-on view of the stage. Granted, we imagine there will be giant video screens showing everything on the stage, and depending on how accessible those are, you may have a good view of the screens no matter where you sit.
If you want to get those good seats, though, you’ll want to be a D23 Gold member so you can get first access to tickets starting on March 26th, 2024, at 12PM PST. These tickets are limited and exclusive to Gold Members, so if you can’t grab them then, you can try again on March 27th at 12PM PST (note that Disney Visa cardholders will also be able to get tickets on March 27th). Tickets go on sale to the general public on March 28th.
Tickets for those wanting Honda Center access are as follows:
- The D23 Ultimate Fan Pass 3-Day Ticket: a 3-day assigned seat for evening shows at the Honda Center and 3-day access to all experiences at the Anaheim Convention Center—starting at $297/ticket
- The D23 Ultimate Fan Pass 1-Day Ticket: a reserved seat for that date’s evening show at the Honda Center and same-day access to all experiences at the Anaheim Convention Center—starting at $99/ticket
- The D23 Preferred Ultimate Fan Pass 3-Day Ticket (exclusive to D23 Gold Members): a 3-day floor seat for evening shows at the Honda Center, and 3-day access to all experiences at the Anaheim Convention Center—starting at $999/ticket.
Tickets are also available for just the events at the Anaheim Convention Center, which include an immersive show floor. Pricing for the show floor is:
- 1-Day Pass
- Gold Members: $79/ticket
- General Members: $89/ticket
- 3-Day Pass
- Gold Members: $209/ticket
- General Members: $259/ticket
D23: The Ultimate Fan Event will take place from August 9th through the 11th. There are several events at multiple venues including the Honda Center, Anaheim Convention Center, Disneyland Resort, and Anger Stadium. Check out the link below for everything you need to know!

For those going to evening events at Honda Center get there earlier than you think. The parking is a horrible experience and will take you about 30 minutes to park. They are upgrading the area and it’s just bad and the new parking won’t be finished until 2025. I’d say park 2 hours before the event starts.

Do you know if the 200 Level Stage Adjacent decent seats?

Purchased the tickets to D23 and when I went to pick out the seats at the Honda Center. It told me it was sold out already. Went back to change my ticket and was told they were sold out already. And i was in the first 1500 people.
