D23 Expo Postponed to 2022: No Disney Fan Convention Next Year

Disney has announced that the next D23 Expo will move from its planned 2021 calendar slot to September 2022. The company shared the update via a tweet on the official D23 Twitter account. The statement confirms that the rescheduled event will now take place on Sept. 9-11, 2022, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Disney also promises that the "D23 Expo 2022 will be a celebration unlike any other" as fans will be given a first look at its "incredible plans for the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company."

D23 Expo 2022 will now take place shortly after Star Wars Celebration, another major Disney convention. Lucasfilm cancelled this year's event due to the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Star Wars Celebration will now return to the Anaheim Convention Center on August 18-21, 2022. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist.
