Complete D23 Expo 2019 Panel Schedule: Updated

Updated August 1, 2019

Official D23 Expo 2019 Poster If you're heading to the ultimate Disney fan event this year you'll want to check out the complete D23 Expo 2019 panel schedule!

There are people who can go to a big event like D23 Expo, the biennial Disney fan convention, and totally wing it. Then there are people like me who can go with the flow, but also need a plan A, B, C and maybe D at least a month ahead of time. There have been tons of press releases dropping with schedule highlights, but none have contained anything close to a full D23 Expo schedule. Don’t worry-I got you. I’ve combined the locations and times for every D23 Expo 2019 panel in this handy schedule. Get your planning on! 

What is the schedule for panels at D23 Expo this year? 

There are three full days of panels to check out when you visit D23 Expo. Hall D23 is where you’ll find the biggest presentations, but they’re also the hardest to get into. Don’t worry-there’s plenty to do. Even if you don’t make it into your top panel choice, there’s always another option. The Anaheim Convention Center is also going to be stuffed full of shopping areas, interactive pavilions, smaller presentations, and celebrity meet & greets. There’s lots of overlapping within the D23 Expo schedule, so choose wisely.
