LIVE ON DISNEY+! What to Expect at ‘Horizons: A Carousel of Progress’
Horizons: A Carousel of Progress, is streaming live on Disney+ beginning at 7 p.m. PT on Saturday, Aug. 15. Tune in as host Neil Patrick Harris is joined by the artists, storytellers, and creative leaders helping bring Disney’s next chapter to life!
At D23 in 2024, we hosted a whirlwind evening packed with reveals for Disney Parks, Disney Cruise Line, and destinations around the globe. From new lands and attractions to ships and experiences still on the drawing board, Disney Experiences shared an unprecedented look at what was ahead.
Now, many of those projects are no longer concepts on a screen. They’re being designed, engineered, built, tested, and brought to life by teams across the globe. And that’s exactly what Horizons: A Carousel of Progress will be all about.
Sharing a Carousel of Progress
Horizons will feature a series of conversations with Walt Disney Imagineering leaders and creative talent helping shape projects around the world – taking the audience on a journey through Disney’s unmatched storytelling legacy, the spirit of adventure at the heart of so many Disney stories, the remarkable creative process anchored by exploration and curiosity, and the bold promise of possibility that has guided Imagineers for more than seven decades.
And because this is still a Disney Experiences showcase, those conversations will be joined by high-energy performances, special moments, and a little Disney magic along the way.
Fans can expect project updates, first looks, new artwork and renderings, behind-the-scenes stories, creative insights, and a closer look at how some of Disney Experiences’ most ambitious projects are progressing. We’re pulling back the curtain on the work, collaboration, and imagination of many of the experiences in development that Disney fans are eagerly following.
Disney+ subscribers can stream Horizons: A Carousel of Progress live at 7 p.m. PT on Aug. 15.
So, mark your calendar and get ready to go behind the construction walls, because the next chapter of Disney Experiences isn’t just being imagined.
