Light Up The Season with D23! 2022 took place at the Walt Disney Studios and the chilly weather made for a suitably wintry magical evening of Disney Magic. D23 members in attendance were invited to enjoy wintertime activities and games, shopping, photo opportunities, plus sweets and treats and a bunch more surprises.

Each guest received a D23 exclusive ornament celebrating 30 years of The Muppet Christmas Carol upon check-in.
