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.

Character meet-and-greets including Santa Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Daisy, and more!

Holiday spirit was in abnudance with a DJs spinning, live musical performances by the Disney Studio Choir and Mostly Kosher!

If you could spare the time, you could enjoy holiday screenings inside the historic Main Studio Theatre.

The chance to explore the legendary lot of the Walt Disney Studios – decked out for the season — is a great opportunity for any Disney fan.

At sunset, a special tree lighting ceremony complete with snow brought a new light to the party!

Special photo ops and holiday decorations were placed all around the studio.

Special crafts and activities, fun holiday games and prizes, and complimentary treats for all ages. We even found ourselves the winner of trivia contest where the prize was a sweet Mickey watch courtesy of event sponsor, Citizen.

There was plenty of window shopping to explore with holiday shopping at the Disney Studio Store and Minnie’s Market Place featuring local vendors and friends of Disney

Additional seasonal sweets, savories—including Walt’s Chili— and alcoholic beverages (for guests 21+) will be available for purchase at the Studio Commissary and event booths.

Here’s a lay of the land and some of the event schedule!
