With D23 Expo 2022 the information train keeps rolling and today we got details on how Disney’s streaming powerhouse will be represented this year at the ultimate fan event. From show floor exhibits to panels and talent appearances, there’s going to be a bunch to enjoy.
The Disney Bundle Pavilion
On the D23 Expo Show Floor, The Disney Bundle Pavilion will showcase entertainment and sports content offered across Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ with special programming and experiences.
- Disney+ will exhibit two unique installations for fans to experience. A lenticular installation offers guests an opportunity to look for their reflection among the moving images, while a Disney+ holographic display will surprise guests with beamed-in appearances by their favorite characters.
- Hulu invites guests to “Check in to Their Obsessions” as they walk through the iconic Hulu green vessel and are transported to a world filled with all their Hulu favorites, offering something for every type of viewer— whether they’re a pop culture aficionado or reality TV buff, or if their watch list is filled with adult animation or critically-acclaimed dramas. They will be able to join the Belchers for a Bob’s Burgers family photo opportunity, and put themselves in the hot seat of a confessional from their favorite reality TV shows, as they navigate a variety of immersive experiences.
- ESPN+ offers fans a backstage pass that will give them a close-up look at some of the most iconic memorabilia in sports, including the College Football Playoff trophy, the UFC Championship belt, an El Clásico game ball, and more. Then, fans can complete their VIP fan experience by snapping a photo sitting behind a sports news desk.
