We’ve been counting down the days until the launch of Disney+ on November 12, and it looks like we’ll be getting a sneak peek of what it’s all about sooner than expected! Today, D23 announced that for the first time ever, three of Disney’s signature streaming services, Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, will showcase a variety of original and exclusive content at D23 Expo. There’s so much going on at the Disney+ Pavilion — and we’ll get to that in a second — so you should probably get a pen and paper, ready to start building out your schedule.

At the Disney+ Pavilion on the Expo floor, you’ll get to experience live demos of the Disney+ app, see costumes and props from Disney+ Originals, and even be one of the first to subscribe to the service! There’s also going to be a special offer available exclusively to Expo guests and D23 Members!

Plus — and let’s just say that from here on out, that pun is totally intended — Disney+ will hit Hall D23 and D23 Expo Arena venues for an exciting lineup of panels and experiences:

At the ESPN+ Pavilion on the D23 Expo floor, guests will have the opportunity to see two interactive exhibits dedicated to two new programs debuting this summer:

Peyton’s Places is a 30-episode documentary series hosted by the one and only Peyton Manning, exclusively on ESPN+. The series will take you through 100 years of football, highlighting memorable events, teams, players, and trends that all played an important role in the making of the NFL.

SneakerCenter is a series premiering this fall devoted to sneaker culture across sports, entertainment, and more. The show promises to take fans deep into the unique sneaker movement, and you can get a glimpse of what it’s all about at the ESPN+ Pavilion on the D23 Expo floor.

Fans should definitely plan to stop by the Hulu Pavilion during the Expo to see costumes and show props from shows like The Handmaid’s Tale, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Goldbergs, Castle Rock, Catch-22, and more.

Disney+ is available for pre-order in the US. Be among the first to have it and start streaming November 12.
