The “Disney Horizons Live” island will open at 7:30 p.m. PT / 10:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 10. Fortnite users can join the island via the Homebar in Discover or by using the island code 7908-6413-2516. The livestream of “Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase” will begin at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET.

According to the D23 schedule, the panel is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. PT. The time discrepancy may mean 7 p.m. is just when doors will open on-site.

This will be the only way to watch an official livestream of the panel.

Any players who visit the “Disney Horizons Live” island for 10 minutes will receive the free in-game item the Peelverine Plush Back Bling (pictured above), plus XP on August 16. The Peelverine Plush Back Bling may be available for purchase in the game at a later date.

After the livestream concludes, the presentation will continue playing on a loop until August 16.

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro will host the panel as usual and other special guests will appear.

The panel’s announcements will include more details about Disney and Fortnite’s partnership, which was first announced in February. Disney invested $1.5 billion in Fortnite’s developer, Epic Games. They said at the time the partnership would bring a “new games and entertainment universe focused on Fortnite.”
