If you’re a fan of the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and looking forward to attending for the 2026 run then you are probably already a D23 Gold Member — and that’s going to actually be more important than it was on previous years. This year, ticket sales will ONLY be opened up for Gold Member level meaning there will be NO general public sale. So if you do NOT pay for a membership to be a D23 Gold Member, you will NOT be able to purchase tickets. However, you do NOT have to be a D23 member to attend as a guest of a Gold Member. There will also be a tiered sale of tickets based on membership levels.
