A massive global expansion for Disney’s biggest fan event has just been confirmed.
The Walt Disney Company has officially announced that D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is expanding once again — and this time, it’s heading to Asia in a major way.
Disney confirmed that D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event will take place in Singapore in 2027, marking a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to grow its fan celebrations across the Asia Pacific region.
This will be the first time D23 Asia is hosted in Singapore and a major step in Disney’s global fan event expansion.
According to Disney, the event will be a multi-day experience designed to bring fans closer to the magic than ever before.
D23 Asia will offer:
- Exclusive first access to Disney storytelling, creativity, and innovation
- Appearances from top stars and storytellers from around the world
- Opportunities for fans to come together through shared fandom and immersive experiences
The event aims to unite Disney fans from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
D23 is the official Disney fan club, launched in 2009, and its flagship event (D23 Expo) has grown into the premier global celebration of Disney storytelling and fandom.
The name itself carries meaning: “D” stands for Disney, while “23” references 1923, the year Walt Disney opened his first studio.
Over the years, the event has become known for live stage presentations, major announcements, interactive exhibits, and exclusive merchandise offerings.
Disney leaders emphasized that bringing D23 to Singapore reflects the growing demand and passion from fans across the Asia Pacific.
Asad Ayaz, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer, noted that the event is about bringing fans together as a community, celebrating their connection to Disney stories and characters, and offering a look at what’s coming next.
Disney also shared that this event builds on the legacy of past D23 experiences, including international expansions like D23 Brazil, while continuing to evolve the fan experience globally.
D23 Asia won’t just be a copy of the Anaheim event. Disney says the Singapore edition will be specifically created for the Asia Pacific audience and designed to deliver a reimagined experience, while still maintaining the scale, creativity, and fan-first spirit of D23 events worldwide.
With its debut in Singapore set for 2027, D23 Asia represents a major evolution in how Disney connects with fans around the world.
For the first time, a whole new audience will get to experience the magic of D23 on a global stage, and this could just be the beginning of even more expansions to come.
