This is where Disney fans can be the first to hear exciting announcements and news about upcoming projects, get sneak peeks of upcoming TV shows and movies, and more! It will be held at the Contemporary Resort at Disney World and is completely sold out. But, there will be some livestreams you can tune in to! There are usually special guest speakers at the event, but we just learned that one well known Disney executive will no longer be in attendance.

According to Scott Gustin on Twitter, The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek will NOT be attending Destination D23 this weekend at Disney World.
