DESTINATION D23:
- The biggest Disney fan event of the year, Destination D23, is on its way to Walt Disney World later this year.

- D23 Shopping Spree – While current ticketholders to Destination D23 will gain priority first access to the exclusive shopping opportunities at this event, there will be a separate, specially ticketed experience for D23 Gold Members who aren’t attending Destination D23 but still want to snag collectibles, exclusives, and marvelous merchandise with the D23 Shopping Spree. Fans will be offered a chance to take part in shopping at the Contemporary Resort with Mickey’s of Glendale, The Walt Disney Company Store, and the Ink & Paint Marketplace—all of which are creating a stellar lineup of products that allow all fans to showcase their love of Disney in a multitude of ways.

- D23 Black Flame Ball: Celebrating 30 Years of Hocus Pocus – Just like the sinister Sanderson Sisters, D23 is heading back to Salem, Massachusetts—bringing a bombastic blowout bash to this historic town. It’s been 30 years since the Sandersons first returned to Salem, and we’re lighting the Black Flame Candle one more time to raise the dead (and the roof) at this Halloween happening.
- 25 Years of Halloweentown with D23 – Return to the magic of Halloweentown with D23, in St. Helens, Oregon, where we’ll be hosting very special 25th anniversary screenings of this DCOM classic in Halloweentown itself!

- Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: 30th Anniversary – Fans and stans of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see the Halloween world with D23! Relive the cult classic that has been a staple of the scary and merry seasons for generations of superfans. Much like the pumpkin king himself, we’re mapping out major plans for this skele-bration.
