Disney has released the official show floor map for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The map gives attendees their first detailed look at where everything lives inside the Anaheim Convention Center. It covers Halls A through D, the Lobby, and Mickey Avenue, laying out dozens of pavilions, stores, stages, and services across the largest show floor in the event’s history. D23 Expo runs August 14th through 16th. Here’s a look!

  • Where to find guest services, bag check, food trucks, and other amenities
  • How the map organizes Halls A through D, Mickey Avenue, and the Lobby

How the Show Floor Is Laid Out

The map splits the Anaheim Convention Center into four main halls, labeled A through D. Mickey Avenue connects them, and the Lobby anchors the space near the main entry. Hall D sits closest to Talent Central and the D23 Marketplace. Farthest back sits Hall A, near the Arena Plaza entrance.

The directory groups every location into color-coded categories:

  • Experiences from the Walt Disney Company
  • Experiences from Friends of Disney
  • Shopping from the Walt Disney Company
  • Shopping from Friends of Disney
  • Experiences with Shopping, split into both categories above
  • Celebrating 125 Years of Walt Disney
  • Official D23 Stages
  • More Activities and Services

Each location also carries a letter and number code tied to its category. W marks Walt Disney Company experiences, F marks Friends of Disney experiences, and S marks shopping. E marks combined experience and shopping locations, C marks the 125th anniversary section, and O marks official stages. A marks additional activities and services. Food trucks, cosplay meetups, and bag check cluster outside in the Grand Plaza and Arena Plaza. Event Services operates separately, at the Hilton Anaheim on Level 2.
