Disney has revealed that Disney+ day – the global celebration of the streaming service – will return on Thursday 8 September 2022, leading into D23 Expo: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa in Anaheim, CA.
In celebration, the streaming service will host special experiences for fans and subscribers, and will premiere new content from its marquee brands, including the return of the beloved Disney franchise in the all-new live action Pinocchio on Disney+ Day, September 8.
