DISNEY ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION PANELS AND ACTIVATIONS AT SDCC 2026

 

Disney Entertainment Television returns to downtown San Diego this July with mythical quests, mouthwatering bites and more, delivering a stacked programming lineup and can’t-miss experiences from across its portfolio of content brands, including 20th Television, 20th Television Animation, ABC, Disney+, Disney Kids & Family, FX and Hulu.

Beginning Thursday, July 23, Hulu Animayhem: Fandom Fuel Up, FX’s “AHS” 13 Flavors stunt, and the “Percy Jackson” Experience outdoor activations will be open to the public directly outside the San Diego Convention Center, plus eight star-studded panels taking place throughout the weekend.

This year, Hulu Animayhem is taking over the Gaslamp with a food and beverage-driven, fan-first experience inspired by “Futurama” and “King of the Hill.” The iconic Planet Express returns to Comic-Con alongside Bobby Hill’s new Robata Chane venture. Guests can enjoy themed offerings like Fry’s 100 Days of Cold Brew and Robata Chane-inspired yakitori. As guests fuel up, they’ll explore immersive environments, uncover hidden Easter eggs and capture shareable moments inspired by fan-favorite storylines from each series. On the exhibit floor, Hulu Animayhem fans can also shop for new merchandise and SDCC exclusives from their favorite series like “Bob’s Burgers,” “King of the Hill,” “Futurama,” “Family Guy” and more at booth #4229.

In celebration of the upcoming 13th installment of “American Horror Story,” FX is taking over San Diego with fan-favorite characters and sinister sweets inspired by the series. A fleet of four branded ice cream trucks will serve up a total of 12 different flavors, each inspired by a different installment. Fans will also get the chance to see a few iconic “AHS” characters, including Rubber Man (“Murder House”), Twisty the Clown (“Freak Show”), the Witch (“Coven”) and more. On Saturday evening, fans will be invited to a secret location to experience the 13th Scoop. Stay tuned for more information at @ahsfx.

Returning to SDCC, the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Experience will allow fans to choose their own adventure as they step into the titan-sized trident. Along the shared journey, guests will be invited to choose which character’s path they will follow: Percy, Annabeth or Thalia. Each prong becomes a distinct, character-driven environment that reflects the forces shaping their quest. Prophecy-led clues, hidden Easter eggs from the upcoming season and exclusive Camp Half-Blood pins will all be revealed throughout the mythical journey.
