After the ceremony, fans will get a sneak peak of Disney's upcoming slate from Disney Animation and Pixar.On Saturday morning, D23 attendees will preview Disney's upcoming slate of live-action films, including those from Marvel and Lucasfilm. Undisclosed special guests will appear at the event.Earlier this year, we heard rumors that Marvel would be skipping San Diego Comic-Con , which will take place a month before D23. At this point, it's not clear if Star Wars will go to Comic-Con either, given its participation in the Disney-backed conventions -- last month's Star Wars Celebration and D23.We also may finally get some news on the long-talked about Star Wars theme park on Saturday afternoon when Parks Chairman Bob Chapek presents on the future of Disney's theme parks.The main events will take place in the newly created Hall D23 , a 7,500-seat venue located in Hall D, to ensure more guests can see the presentations in person.Tickets are currently on sale and are available at a discounted price of $67 USD for a one-day adult admission until June 30.
