The full schedule of Destination D23 panels and presentations has been released, and it looks like there is no dedicated major theme parks presentation. This could signal that this year’s Destination D23 will not be as news-heavy as it was in 2023. Destination D23 is Disney’s “off year” fan expo on years where the marquee D23 Expo isn’t scheduled. With a smaller presence in Walt Disney World, Destination D23 has traditionally been more focused on history and niche topics. This year, it looks like Disney is going to return to that smaller event feel despite a massive increase in the size of the event as it moves to the Coronado Springs convention center. Here’s the latest.
Destination D23 Full Panel Schedule
As previously announced, Destination D23 takes place at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Walt Disney World. The event is scheduled from August 29-31. Friday, August 29th is reserved for shopping, while Saturday and Sunday have panels for attendees to enjoy. Here’s the Destination D23 full panel schedule.

While there is a “Walt Disney Studios Showcase”, there is no “Disney Experiences Showcase”, indicating that there will not be a major theme park presentation. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be some new things shared, and we’ll have more on our wishlist later, but it does signal that no major presentation will be held.
