Advance tickets will go on sale August 9, 2012 for the D23 Expo to take place August 9-11, 2013.

BURBANK, Calif. – March 9, 2012 – All the magic and excitement of the past, present and future of Disney entertainment will come together once again when D23: The Official Disney Fan Club presents an all-new D23 EXPO at the Anaheim Convention Center on Aug. 9-11, 2013.

“The D23 Expo has become a phenomenal way for Disney fans to see everything they love about Disney all in one place — from Disney’s biggest stars and latest innovations to unforgettable performances live on stage,” said Steven Clark, head of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, which produces the bi-annual D23 EXPO. “Our third Expo is sure to create even more magical new experiences and memories for our biggest fans attending from throughout the U.S. and around the globe.”

“Anaheim is extremely pleased that the D23 EXPO will be returning next year,” said Charles Ahlers, president, Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau. “This exciting event is quickly becoming an industry icon, drawing Disney fans from around the world. The Anaheim community truly appreciates and enjoys this quality show and positive impacts it brings.”

More than 40,000 Disney fans attended D23 EXPO 2011, which brought together the entire world of Disney under one roof for three star-studded days and nights. Fans were treated to appearances by superstars like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Regis Philbin and Billy Crystal; enjoyed performances by Dick Van Dyke, The Muppets and Disney princess voice talent Jodi Benson, Paige O’Hara, Lea Salonga and Anika Noni Rose; previewed concept art and attractions coming from Disney Parks and Walt Disney Imagineering; glimpsed back at Disney’s rich history through extraordinary panels, presentations and exhibits; and discovered the newest entertainment, technology, and products from The Walt Disney Company.

Among the highlights of D23 EXPO 2013 will be expanded capacities at some of our most popular venues; the 2013 Disney Legends Ceremony, which honors the talented men and women who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy; Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives, a treasure trove of crown jewels from the Walt Disney Archives; the bustling aisles of the Collectors Forum, where Disney fans can buy, sell and trade Disney collectibles, memorabilia and merchandise; and a massive show floor full of special opportunities to see what’s on the horizon for Disney around the world—and where guests may bump into their favorite Disney stars, characters, Imagineers, animators and filmmakers.

Advance tickets for the D23 EXPO 2013 will go on sale at D23Expo.com beginning August 9, 2012. D23 Members receive special pricing on both one- and three-day tickets to the event, which is also open to the general public.

Looking forward to another Expo. Waiting is the hardest part...
Nice to know the dates have been set

I will be there and this time hopefully as a Sorcerer!

Anyone going to the Destination-D? Registration just opened....

Last year, I had the Premiere ticket which was one level down from the Sorcerer. It was mainly helpful in getting into the arena events. Not so much for the talks in the smaller venues. Still had to wait like everyone else. And eventually I just gave up on that after spending hours one day in line and just enjoyed the rest of expo.

I notice that in the announcement they only mention Sorcerer tickets, not Premiere. Will be interesting to see if they have eliminated Premiere tickets or changed Sorcerer to combine the two.

I just bought my ticket for Destination D. Looking forward to it and seeing the new Carsland! Maybe a free fastpass to the Radiator Springs Racers for all those in attendance??!!

Count in me in for Destination D! I'm beyond excited. Also, count me in for the Expo tickets. Last year we went 2 days, but this year I'm planning on buying Sorcerer or Premiere (if they have them). I feel like I missed out on so much!

I'm not sure if I bought tickets, we tried to get the Diamond level and all it says is that we are waitlisted. I've sent emails to find out when we will find out any more information and nothing...
