Disney fans in Singapore are truly living the dream. Fresh off the announcement of Disney Cruise Line’s Singapore debut, Disney is now doubling down on the magic with another huge reveal: D23 Asia: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is officially making its Singapore debut in 2027.
This marks a major expansion of Disney’s fan convention experiences across Asia Pacific. Previous editions of D23 Asia were held in Japan in 2013, 2015 and 2018.
If D23 sounds unfamiliar, think of it as Disney’s version of Comic-Con – with exclusive experiences and reveals. Created in 2009 under D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, the convention has become the place where Disney drops first looks at upcoming films and shows, brings out celebrity casts and creatives, and turns entire convention halls into immersive Disney playgrounds. The “23” in D23 is also a nod to 1923, the year Walt Disney opened his first studio in Hollywood.
The Singapore edition is expected to span three packed days, featuring appearances by stars and storytellers from Hollywood and beyond, alongside live showcases, behind-the-scenes presentations, performances, interactive experiences and exclusive merch.
Past D23 events in Japan have included musical performances by the likes of Alan Menken, Marvel franchise updates, and sneak peeks at films like Inside Out and Maleficent. Disney says the local event will be specially reimagined again for Asian audiences – while keeping the scale and fan energy that its conventions are known for.
Time Out tip: Disney+ subscribers can expect exclusive previews of upcoming APAC Originals, as well as sessions with the creatives behind the productions.
